Executive Breakout is a new and exciting learning experience focused on delivering impact and making a real difference. Implementation of theory to practice is central to the programme and participants should be committed to applying learning within their current role.

Executive Breakout is underpinned by three core learning themes; design thinking, high-performance leadership and disruptive innovation. The participant is positioned at the intersection of these themes; the central focus is on the development of professional and personal goals.
Design thinking is a process taken from product design, which uses brainstorming, multidisciplinary teamwork and hands-on problem solving to bring about fresh insights. Participants learn to implement the design thinking process in order to stimulate a more innovative mindset in their own organisations.
Strong leadership is needed to drive change, take calculated risks and motivate colleagues. Participants will develop enhanced negotiation and influencing skills required to lead world-class teams.
Managing disruptive innovation is essential for organisations in order to identify opportunities and successfully compete. Participants will explore emerging organisational models and develop potential new approaches by applying theories of disruptive innovation to their own organisation.

The ability to communicate effectively and influence others is finely tuned with the support of expert mentors and coaches. In order to lead with impact and grow as a person you will be expected to push boundaries and develop your personal and professional convictions.
Introduction to the key concepts of design thinking, high-performance leadership and disruptive innovation is completed through highly immersive and interactive workshops. The aim is to go beyond applying theory to practice and understand how you can drive a culture of innovation within your own organisation.
‘Live’ Innovation Projects are a central element of the learning process and drive the programme's theoretically-informed and practice-based approach. Over the two month period participants work on two project components supported by selected industry and academic coaches. The project is generally centered around a market opportunity, a technological challenge, process innovation or simply identifying ways to cultivate innovation within organisations. The first project is the ‘Individual Innovation Project’ which is defined by the participant who provides a real challenge or opportunity facing their organisation. The second is a pre-defined ‘Group Innovation Project’ sourced from an external host organisation where participants work in multidisciplinary teams to deliver actionable solutions and recommendations.
