Creating a Market Without Rivals

Bring a real AI use under control before it becomes a board, regulatory or reputational crisis. Build the executive confidence to govern AI risk, demand credible evidence and defend the actions your organisation takes.

Creating a Market Without Rivals is a two-week applied micro-course in Blue Ocean Strategy. It teaches a single method — value innovation, read through the strategy canvas — as a discipline of strategic judgment rather than a set of diagrams to fill in. You choose a real industry in the opening lessons and carry it through all twelve, moving from a clear-eyed diagnosis of the crowded market you are in to a defended move into uncontested space, so that by the end of the fortnight you hold a complete blue-ocean strategy for an industry you care about, built to a published quality standard.

Creating Value for Every Stakeholder

Turn a list of stakeholders into a decision that works for all of them. Build the professional judgement to apply this capability confidently in consequential management and leadership decisions.

Creating Value for Every Stakeholder is a two-week applied micro-course in Stakeholder Theory. It teaches a single capability — taking a real strategic decision and making a choice that creates value across every group it affects — as a method of judgment rather than a statement of good intentions. You work one decision from end to end: identifying the parties it touches, analyzing their interests and their influence, and then formulating and defending a strategy that creates durable value across the whole stakeholder set — so that by the end you hold a recommendation you could put in front of the people it affects.

Leading for the Situation

Stop leading everyone the same way — learn to match your direction and support to the person in front of you. Build the professional judgement to apply this capability confidently in consequential management and leadership decisions.

Leading for the Situation is a one-week applied micro-course in Situational Leadership. It teaches a single, practical skill — adapting your leadership to the person and the task in front of you — as a discipline of judgment rather than a personality quiz. You choose one real team member and one specific goal in the opening lesson and carry them through all six, learning to read the two behaviors behind every leadership style, diagnose a person’s development level, and match your style to it. By the end of the week you hold a partnering-for-performance plan for someone you actually lead, built to a published quality standard.

Move your team past ‘hitting the target’ — learn the four behaviors that raise performance beyond the transactional baseline. Build the professional judgement to apply this capability confidently in consequential management and leadership decisions.

Leading with Vision and Purpose is a one-week applied micro-course in transformational leadership. It teaches a single, practical skill — raising a team’s performance above the transactional baseline — as a discipline of design rather than a personality trait. You choose one real team and one specific performance goal in the opening lesson and carry them through all six, learning to tell transactional from transformational leadership and to apply the four behaviors that lift performance: a vision you personally model, inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration. By the end of the week you hold a transformational leadership plan for a team you actually lead, built to a published quality standard and taught with the honest evidence.

The 5 Levels of Leadership: Accelerate Your Influence

Turn the authority of your role into real influence — and grow it, level by level, from position to lasting legacy. Build the professional judgement to apply this capability confidently in consequential management and leadership decisions.

The 5 Levels of Leadership is a two-week applied micro-course built on John Maxwell’s Five Levels model. It teaches a single, practical idea — that leadership is influence, earned in five levels — as a working diagnostic rather than a motivational poster. You apply every lesson to one leadership relationship of your own, alongside a running case, moving from an honest read of where your influence stands today to a defended, level-by-level plan to grow it from positional authority toward developed people and a lasting legacy.
