Sample Program Formats

• A private sector organization brought the basics of Meta-leadership to their extended crisis management team through three, two-hour virtual sessions.
• A major government agency sent a cohort of 30 people to Harvard as part of a transformation initiative. The participants applied Meta-leadership to specific challenges of building an innovative culture and reinventing the agency’s approach to training and productivity.
• A major government agency sent five cohorts of 25 senior leaders each to Harvard for a one-week residential program emphasizing connectivity across internal silos and with external partners. Participants embarked on 90-day projects to apply what they had learned. Several of these became official agency initiatives.
• A private sector organization worked with the NPLI to create an interactive three-day “crisis management, leadership, and communications” workshop for its regional crisis management teams. Delivered around the world, the program forged a consistent method for crisis response, enhancing both preparedness and resilience.
