Change Accelerator retreat

It might sound cliched, however it has genuinely accelerated my business change journey. It provided the impetus and the headspace to recognise the importance and priority to ‘get it done’. It has broadened my leadership skills by building on my ability to tell a story and appeal to the emotional/’feeling’ argument.

Applications are open for the 2027 Change Accelerator cohort. See below for details and link for registering interest. 

Change Accelerator is a three-month programme aimed at middle to senior level business leaders (10 – 15 years’ experience) working in the built environment, with real influence over business strategy and a remit for change. 

Running throughout Spring 2027, the course facilitates a systemic shift in the sustainability of the built environment. By the end of the programme, participants will have gained a fresh perspective and be connected to a network of peers who will support them in the delivery of bold and sustainable outcomes at their own organisations. 

The Change Accelerator objectives are to: 

  1. Expose participants to cutting-edge leadership insights, delivered through a mix of learning techniques and peer-to-peer dialogue. 
  2. Redefine participants’ own leadership purpose and increase understanding of how to influence systems and hone storytelling techniques to maximize influence and deliver transformational change at an organisational level. 
  3. Apply a new frame of thinking to existing challenges, leveraging shared insights and developing a strategy to positively achieve sectoral change. 

The Change Accelerator programme consists of the following key components: 

  1. Purpose: Kick-off call:3rd March (virtual).
  2. Storytelling & Influencing: 17th March (virtual).
  3. Nature Retreat: 31st March – 1st April (Stroud).
  4. Systems & Strategies: 14th April (virtual).
  5. Report out: 26th-27th April (London).

Participants work on their own business change, which they define through the programme. The learning between sessions is estimated as 2 days in total. 

As with our other leadership programmes, applications for Change Accelerator are highly competitive, and we accept a maximum of two applicants from each organisation.
