Customised Programmes
Effective, customised leadership programmes for your specific needs
Common Purpose Customised Programmes are for organisations that need their leaders and teams to:
- break through silos and work effectively across sectors, cultures and borders
- lead change across - and outside - their organisations
- grasp the wider context and adapt quickly to new surroundings.
We create innovative ways to develop your current or next-generation leaders in a way that delivers value to your organisation immediately. Whether the participants are Board members, senior managers, high potential individuals or talented newcomers, the Common Purpose approach ensures that each individual’s strategic thinking, decision-making capability and creativity is expanded.
As a result of their experiences with Common Purpose, participants consistently report an increase in the knowledge, connections and inspiration they need to produce change, wherever they are.

Working with you
Our focus is on the client - on understanding and responding to your organisation’s strategic objectives, requirements and culture. Working in collaboration enables us to create an effective, customised leadership programme and ensures that you are best placed to take forward the outcomes. This could range from a one day workshop to a six week programme – whatever best meets your needs. We:
- recognise that your situation is virtually always complex and frequently ambiguous
- are honest and clear about how we will work together to help you achieve your goals
- are passionate in helping make change happen.
We believe that quality interactions, set in a real-life context, provide the connections, learning and inspiration to create better leaders, at work and in society.
Our people
One of our strengths is the diversity among our team of highly experienced programme designers, facilitators and directors. This cumulative range of backgrounds, sectors, specialisms and experience brings an added richness to every client challenge.
What is unique about Common Purpose customised programmes?
Our methods are proven and hard-hitting. We take participants out of the classroom and into the rich learning ground of real community or organisational problems.
Common Purpose programmes offer a challenging mixture of behind-the-scenes briefings, access to key players, real-life case studies, peer consultancy, reflection and review, and site visits to a wide array of businesses, institutions, organisations and communities across the UK.
All our programmes:
- develop outward-facing leadership, as people who can lead beyond their authority can produce change beyond their direct circle of control
- are highly interactive and experiential, through their real-life settings
- are committed to diversity as working with new and different groups of people delivers greater insight, problem-solving and creativity
- operate under a set of international conventions that create an environment in which real challenge can thrive
- are demanding and fun.
Outcomes
Our clients regularly report the following outcomes:
- Enhanced capabilities to lead and implement change in rapidly changing environments
- The ability to see the wider context, anticipate connections and find common ground
- Improved communication and problem-solving skills
- Increased levels of creativity and innovation - particularly in working with diversity and in managing complexity.
- Greater leadership skills
