Engagement Team

Originally engaged as a subcontractor within a multinational consultancy-led program, Tomorrow Architects now coordinates a multi-vendor delivery team, working directly with the organisation's L&D leaders.

Client Context

A partnership of over five years, this engagement was born from a collaboration with a multinational consultancy to support the organisation's leadership into a new era - driven by a rapidly shifting market and a recognised need to evolve both leadership capability and ways of working.

Working across multiple regions in a matrixed model, the program was designed to create a "microcosm" of the enterprise leadership culture required for broader organisational transformation.

The Ask

Work closely with the organisation's L&D team and program owners across a multi-phased engagement:

  • Extensive discovery phase to understand the client's strategic context, leadership frameworks, and critical from-to shifts for organisational leaders
  • Co-design the program framework, with a focus on vertical development through leadership offsites, virtual delivery and strategic integration of business context throughout all engagements
  • Coordinate multiple vendors and delivery partners, working with the client team to create world-class leadership experiences across multi-city and multi-country deployment
  • Adjust program priorities and deliverables as needs emerged, including multiple virtual deliveries

Delivery partners included Amy Edmondson, Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey.

Program Format

Frameworks included Theory U, system mapping and levels of listening.

Scale

Large-scale leadership engagements of up to 2,000 participants, delivered in-person, virtually and in hybrid formats.

Offsites

150–300 person leadership offsites, working alongside production teams across multi-day deliveries.

Approach

Highly immersive, systems-based leadership frameworks paired with experiential, embodied learning.

Outcomes

Measured improvements in critical leadership capabilities, evidenced through participant self-reflection and feedback.

Cross-functional breakthroughs in speed, alignment and effectiveness - supporting organisational success and more efficient organisational structures.

Greater leader awareness of sensing into, and wisely intervening in, the wider organisational system.

After the first summit, leaders showed strong awareness of the system they operate in. Their actions were still high-level, linear and solution-led, and the capacity to experiment was still growing. By the second summit, participants had moved from waiting for direction to acting as leaders of change. They saw themselves as co-creators of the system, not recipients of it. Smaller circles, time to reflect and coaching circles produced deeper conversations, more vulnerability and a stronger sense of belonging. Participants described a more collective mindset, one that looked past individual perspectives. The same leverage points surfaced across groups: the customer at the centre, simplicity, speed, local empowerment, people at the core, front-line focus and the determination to take decisions.
