Leadership development designed
for scientific minds
Specialist L&D partners for research-led organisations


For over twenty years, we have been helping research-led organisations in the UK, Europe and Americas to develop the capabilities and confidence of their new, aspiring and experienced managers through our specialist science leadership development programmes.
Experience and research suggest that scientifically-minded learners are often highly analytical and process driven, and respond best to development opportunities that are backed by robust evidence and focus on the people skills commonly neglected during academic training.
Through our ongoing conversations with scientists, as well as research conducted by our in-house team, we constantly refine our programmes and approach to ensure they meet the most pressing current needs.
We can work with you, combining our expertise with your inside knowledge, to create the effective leadership development pathways that are so vital to your organisation’s future.
Bespoke and blended learning
A fully flexible, partnership-based approach
Whether your colleagues engage best with classroom-based training, live virtual sessions, or a mixture of both, we can tailor your programme around their needs.
Our huge library of tried-and-trusted content can be organised into a series of modules that explore the most relevant and useful topics for your group’s experience levels and context.
Or, with your input, we can create new content, role plays and practical exercises specifically for you.


Additional tools and resources
Options to suit your learners
Choose from a range of additional tools and resources to reinforce learning and ensure that it translates into practical action.
From habit-forming e-nudges to virtual coaching, our blended learning tools can be integrated into your classroom or virtual science leadership training.

Virtual coaching
One-to-one executive coaching sessions provide a chance to focus on personal challenges and development needs. Often run before and/or after the main programme, they can also incorporate a Strengths assessment or 360-degree debrief.

Psychometrics and diagnostics
We are experienced and qualified in a range of personality and psychometric assessments. We can include appropriate tools as part of your programme to build self-awareness, foster relationships or develop an understanding of individual differences.

Recap video emails
After each training module, participants receive an email with a video recap of important takeaways from the session, plus extra resources to enable them to dig deeper into the topics they have covered .

Personal e-nudges
Throughout the programme, participants identify top action points, and receive follow-up emails that encourage them to implement their learning and provide useful practical tips and advice.

Resources portal
An online portal provides access to useful videos, articles, interviews and book suggestions that build on the content of the training.
