ADG’s virtual leadership lab

In today’s dynamic business environment organizations face unprecedented challenges in dealing with continuous change. In such an ever-changing environment, the productivity of each organizational member counts for a sustainable development of the organization. Positive team dynamics can leverage this effect! ADG’s Virtual Leadership Lab helps your organization to navigate change and identify solutions by developing the leadership skills of your executives as well as mid-level managers. 

ADG’s Virtual Leadership Lab is not yet another lecturer program presenting theoretic approaches in misfit with realities on the ground. We focus on jointly developing practical solutions that enable participants to better cope with change and master their individual leadership challenges. During the Lab, we will practice how to implement effective leadership tools and expand participants comfort zone with respect to their leadership practice.  Through completing this program, participants will elevate their leadership skills to upgrade team performance and client satisfaction.  


Boosting leadership skills for organizational success 

The quality of leadership performance is among the most important determinants for organizational success, learning, and innovation. This is especially true when change is rather the rule than the exception. In such a setting, organizations need courageous, far-sighted leaders who can guide their teams through change and prepare their organization for the future, without losing sight of the human factor in their interactions. 

Becoming a leader is a complex and highly individual process – at times, a journey with unexpected routes. ADG’s Virtual Leadership Lab provides participants with tools, fresh perspectives, and impulses, as well as practical knowledge that they will need on their journey to reach their personal objectives as well as the objectives of your organizations.  

ADG’s Virtual Leadership Lab takes an integrated approach consisting of  

  • self-learning (via web-based trainings),  
  • expert inputs (via webinars),  
  • coaching (via video calls) and,  
  • peer-exchange (via video meetings). 

The Lab is designed in a modular way to ensure that your staff will not have to be away from work for several days. Rather we have prepared interactive and practical sessions of approx. 2-3 hours as well as web-based training modules that can be worked on according to participants own preferences and schedules.   

ADG’s Virtual Leadership Lab takes 8 to 11 weeks, depending on the individual needs of your organization. We can tailor our program to your specific needs within 3 weeks. Get in touch to discuss the details!
