Change Accelerator 2020
The change accelerator programme has been deferred to the Autumn due to the coronavirus, although the cohort is now finalised, due to the deferment we now have a few places available on the programme, please contact leaders@ukgc.org if interested in taking part.
The Change Accelerator is a three-month programme is aimed for middle to senior level business leaders (+15 years’ experience) working in the built environment with real influence over business strategy, and with a remit for change.
This year, it runs from September to November 2020 and aims overall to facilitate a systemic shift in the sustainability of the built environment. By the end of the programme participants will think differently, and will be connected to a network of peers who will support them in the delivery of bold and sustainable outcomes for their own organisations.
The Change Accelerator objectives are to:
- Expose participants to cutting edge leadership insights, delivered through a mix of learning techniques and peer-to-peer dialogue.
- Redefine own leadership purpose, understand how to influence systems and hone storytelling techniques to maximize influence and deliver transformational change at organisational level.
- Apply a new frame of thinking to existing challenges, leveraging shared insights and developing a strategy to positively achieve sectoral change.
The programme consists of the following key components:
- Purpose (2 day retreat)
30th September – 1st October (including overnight accommodation) - Storytelling (1 day central London)
15th October - Systems change (1.5 days central London)
24th – 25th November
Participants work to on own business change which they define through the programme. To support this – between the sessions, participants are given tasks to complete. The learning between the face to face sessions is estimated as 2 days in total.
As with our other executive programmes, applications are highly competitive, and we accept a maximum of two applicants from each organisation.
If you have any further questions, please contact Elfrida Hamilton Russell.
