FOR ORGANISATIONS / ENTERPRISE PROGRAMMES / 2b Enterprise
BETTER LEADERS.
BETTER RESULTS.
AMBITION ONLY MOVES WHEN PEOPLE DO.
Most organisations do not lack ambition. The challenge is translating it into the decisions, behaviours and working relationships that move the business forward.
As organisations grow and change, executive teams need alignment, managers need the confidence to lead through others and emerging talent needs opportunities to develop before greater responsibility arrives. A single workshop can create momentum, but sustained change requires connection and follow-through.
2b Enterprise brings these needs into one purposeful partnership, shaped around your strategy, culture, people and stage of growth.
THE PARTNERSHIP AT A GLANCE
Every partnership is different, but the strongest share four characteristics: clear priorities, connected experiences, practical application and a rhythm that keeps the work moving.
The Design
YOUR PRIORITIES FIRST
We begin with your organisational ambition, leadership context and the changes you need to see. The partnership is built around the work your people genuinely need to do, not a programme imposed from outside.
The Scope
ONE PROGRAMME OR MULTI-YEAR
Start with one executive team, leadership cohort or strategic priority, or connect development across levels through a six-month, twelve-month or multi-year organisational journey.
The Experience
CONNECTED BY DESIGN
Bring strengths, executive coaching, team development, keynotes, retreats and practical learning together. Each experience has a clear role within the wider partnership.
The Rhythm
LEARN. APPLY. REVIEW.
Participants work on live business challenges, apply new approaches in their roles and return to review progress. Regular reviews keep the journey connected to changing priorities.
LEADERSHIP DRIVES PERFORMANCE
Leadership is where strategy, culture and people meet. Explore how stronger leadership creates clarity, builds trust and translates organisational ambition into the everyday conversations and choices that move performance forward.
What is high performance?
High performance is not created by asking people to work harder indefinitely. It grows from clarity, strengths, ownership and the capacity to sustain effort. Hear how organisations can create the conditions in which people and teams perform at their best.
DESIGNED AROUND YOUR ORGANISATION.
No two 2b Enterprise partnerships are identical. We begin by understanding your business context, strategic priorities, leadership population, existing development activity and what successful progress needs to look like. Discovery can include sponsor conversations, stakeholder interviews, assessments and review of relevant strategy, culture or leadership materials.
Together, we shape the audiences, experiences and delivery rhythm. Participants work with live organisational challenges, apply new approaches between touchpoints and return with evidence to examine.
The only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture.

ENTERPRISE WORK IN ACTION
WHEN ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT MATTERS MOST.
2b Enterprise is designed for organisations seeking a connected approach to leadership and people development. It is particularly valuable during growth, transformation, succession or a strategic reset; when an executive team needs greater alignment; when leadership quality varies across teams or regions; or when values and cultural ambitions need to become visible in everyday behaviour.
You may begin with one cohort, one leadership team or one pressing challenge. What matters is creating a starting point that serves the need now and can connect intelligently with the organisation’s longer-term direction.
WHAT CHANGES?
The intended outcomes are agreed at the beginning of the partnership. Executive teams can gain greater clarity around direction, priorities and how they need to work together. Leaders become more deliberate in how they use their strengths, delegate responsibility, give feedback and develop other people.
Across the organisation, shared language and leadership expectations can strengthen collaboration, accountability and culture. Emerging talent becomes better prepared for greater responsibility, while coaching, mentoring and internal capability help the development continue beyond the formal programme.
Progress is reviewed through the evidence that best fits the partnership: participant reflection, stakeholder feedback, workplace application, team reviews and relevant organisational indicators.
WHAT COULD YOUR PARTNERSHIP LOOK LIKE?
The examples below are illustrative, not fixed packages. Each shows how different experiences can be combined around a clear organisational need.
01
3-YEAR LEADERSHIP AND CULTURE PARTNERSHIP
A sustained, multi-layered partnership spanning executive leadership, senior managers and emerging talent. The first year establishes the foundations through discovery, executive alignment, strengths and coaching. The second extends shared leadership expectations through cohort programmes, team development and practical playbooks. The third builds internal capability and embeds the approach across teams or regions.
Quarterly reviews connect the journey to changing business priorities, while coaching and workplace application help leaders turn shared principles into everyday practice.
Designed for: Organisations navigating significant growth, transformation, succession or a long-term shift in culture and service standards.
02
12-MONTH EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PARTNERSHIP
The journey begins with an immersive strengths, strategy and culture experience that creates shared direction and clear leadership commitments. Quarterly team reviews keep those commitments visible, address new challenges and renew accountability throughout the year.
Individual executive coaching supports each leader’s priorities, while 2:1 coaching creates focused space for colleagues working through shared decisions, relationships or areas of responsibility. A final strategic review captures progress and defines what comes next.
Designed for: Executive teams, regional leadership groups and senior functional teams carrying collective responsibility for performance.
03
4-MONTH HIGH-PERFORMANCE LEADERS PROGRAMME
A focused cohort journey for people moving from strong individual contribution into leadership. CliftonStrengths assessment and debriefing build self-awareness, while four practical workshops develop capability in coaching conversations, delegation, feedback and high-performance teamwork.
Peer learning, individual coaching and workplace application help participants use the learning immediately, with a closing review turning progress into a clear next-stage development plan.
Designed for: Emerging leaders, new managers and high-potential talent preparing for broader responsibility.
04
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
A cohort experience giving women space to explore their ambitions, develop their strengths and build relationships that support their progression. The programme connects personal development with the practical realities of influence, executive presence and leadership within their organisation.
A typical journey can combine strengths, workshops, 1:1 coaching, executive presence feedback, group mentoring, peer learning and access to experienced leaders or programme alumni. The format is shaped around participants’ career stage and organisational context.
Designed for: Organisations investing deliberately in women’s leadership development, visibility and progression.
05
FUTURE-PARTNER AND SENIOR LEADER PATHWAY
A development journey for experienced professionals approaching partner, principal, general manager or senior leadership roles. Participants explore the shift from delivering through their own expertise to leading through others, influencing across the organisation and contributing to wider business performance.
Strengths, leadership feedback, executive coaching and practical workshops build capability in presence, delegation, coaching, influence and sustainable performance. Leadership forums use current business challenges to make the learning immediately relevant.
Designed for: Professional services firms and organisations developing their next generation of senior leaders.
06
ORGANISATION-WIDE COACHING CULTURE PROGRAMME
Develop coaching capability at several levels, from stronger everyday leadership conversations to a professionally trained internal coaching network. LeaderCoach experiences help managers listen, question and create ownership, while individual coaching supports their own development.
Selected internal coaches can progress through 2bAPC coach education, supported by practice groups, agreed professional boundaries and regular reviews of how coaching is being applied across the organisation.
Designed for: Organisations seeking to strengthen people development, ownership and the quality of leadership conversations at scale.
