How membership works

Once an eligible agency’s membership is confirmed, a member of the LDC team will meet with your Chief Executive and HR/OD team to identify your agency’s leadership development needs.

Depending on those needs, we will then:

  • run an introductory clinic for your staff to become familiar with what we do and what we offer you as a member agency
  • help you assess and/or benchmark your senior leaders’ skills, knowledge and experience, and present the assessment data to you
  • work with your chief executive and HR/OD team to develop a leadership development strategy for your agency and help identify your nominated leaders
  • help you implement the strategy by developing individual development plans based on our programmes, events, knowledge and resources
  • help you evaluate your strategy, drawing on data collected as the strategy is implemented.
