Accountability partnership
Leadership requires a commitment to lifelong learning as it is through ongoing development that we evolve and build human capacity and ecosystems to create positive change.
The most direct learning strategy is to create the conditions for learning - learning organizations, learning cultures, learning ecosystems - and to have people in your corner who help you reflect, expand perspective, stimulate new thinking, challenge the status quo, unlearn, and follow intuition. These can be peers, counterparts, colleagues, and coaches.
Terena partners with CEOs, executive leaders, and VIPs to help create learning ecosystems where every activity is a learning activity that builds capacity and contributes to achieving tangible outcomes.
It is a strategic partnership investment with clear accountability and mutual commitment. At the outset of any assignment, we establish the strategic measures of success, the shifts on the dial that show we are making a viable investment and tracking in the right direction. The guarantee is that the investment you make will return at least a 50% ROI for yourself and your organization.
For every engagement, we:
Identify a gap, propose, identify value, contract services
Clarify the need, define outcomes, ROI measures
Embed context, strategic positioning, engagement comms
Plan, identify key milestones, cadence, logistics
Deliver services, coach, facilitate, mentor
Integrate feedback loops to track and fine tune
Evaluate and transition.
