Immersion Components
Our global professional immersions consists of 3 components:
1. Skills immersion – a series of masterclasses in meta / power / professional skills – mindsets, practices and technologies – relevant to agreed GPI objectives and project deliverables.
Examples of skills are:
- Meta skills – taking different perspectives, identifying pain points, effective story-telling, connecting dots to see the whole picture
- Power skills – critical problem solving, communicating with influence, effective teamwork, leading in a time of change, intercultural fluency
- Professional skills – planning and managing projects, conducting consultations, using digital tools, creating professional presence.
These skills are critical to both organisations and individuals since they make technical skills valuable and are relevant and transferable to all activities – they drive business growth (organisations) and career growth (individuals).
2. Project immersion – where the team applies and demonstrates the mindsets, practices and technologies learned in the skills immersion on achieving agreed deliverables in a real, meaningful project for the organisation.
Projects typically focus on growth opportunities and challenges with business strategy, international business development, or policy and regulatory design.
3. Knowledge acceleration – various business leaders masterclasses and technical seminars to accelerate knowledge on specific topics relevant to business and career growth.
