Rising Leader Programs

Abilitie’s Rising Leader Programs are immersive leadership development experiences that give emerging business leaders the business acumen, strategic thinking, and cross-functional leadership skills they need to advance to the next level in their careers.

Abilitie’s Rising Leader Programs

Participants in these intensive director-level mini-MBAs try their hand at running complex businesses in competitive marketplaces and learn from their mistakes, their interactions with peers, and customized debriefs led by certified facilitators. They get exposed to relevant case studies in small groups and learn from a senior-level action-learning project.

You’re in good company

Business Intelligence

Our business solutions for Rising Leaders reinforce confidence in making long-term strategic business decisions. Our Business Challenge Simulation creates a practice environment to use financial data to make decisions that drive business value. Participants will put their skills to the test and learn from their successes and failures. Through expertly facilitated debriefs, Rising Leaders will learn to more confidently communicate about business metrics and evaluate financial data. Key learning objectives include understanding the drivers of value for a business and anticipating the long-term implications of business decisions.

Enterprise Intelligence

Our solutions for Rising Leaders offer your learners the opportunity to practice leading large, cross-functional teams, making strategic decisions, and executing in VUCA environments. The integrated Enterprise Challenge simulation lets participants fully inhabit their positions as organizational leaders and learn from their own actions and mistakes in a safe environment. Through research-based, Socratic debriefs and simulated practice scenarios participants hone their executive decision-making skills. They gain a deep understanding of the trade-offs they make in their own careers and practice working through difficult scenarios and situations. 

Our Enterprise Challenge Simulation helps your Rising Leaders hone the cross-functional leadership and strategic-thinking skills they need to advance to the next level in their careers. Core focus areas include operating strategically and executing strategy under VUCA conditions. Key learning objectives include communicating and collaborating effectively in cross-functional teams and making effective decisions under pressure.

Audience

The Rising Leader Programs provide the perfect learning environment for growing leaders who need challenging real-world practice environments to flex their leadership and business acumen skills.

Action Learning Projects

Action Learning Projects are an ideal complement to our intensive simulation-based practice sessions. We work with you to identify and design projects that are adapted to your industry and company initiatives. Action Learning Projects (ALPs) present participants with a real-world problem that your organization has previously encountered or is currently struggling with, or an issue that you’d like to prepare your learners to face in the future. Your learners will be split into small groups to work through the assigned ALP for the duration of the program and will have a chance to apply what they learn through the blended curriculum and immersive real-world simulations.

This was the best business training exercise I have ever participated in. Better than anything in my 5 year evening MBA program.

Participant, AMD
