Future Vision
In 2012, the Leadership Centre launched its flagship programme, Future Vision. The overarching aim of Future Vision is to help senior leaders address the leadership challenges they are facing, helping to inspire and create a better future for citizens by enabling systems change through leadership development.
This highly acclaimed programme offers a unique experience for senior leaders who recognise that what they already know and how they already lead is not sufficient to meet the nature of the challenges they are facing.
There has never been a stronger need for adaptive leadership that crosses boundaries. We live in an increasingly complex, interdisciplinary world. Unprecedented financial pressures on public, private and voluntary sectors have combined with ever-higher expectations of outcomes, making effective leadership of organisations all the more pivotal.
Future Vision has undergone constant evolution to meet the ever-changing needs of those we serve. Most recently we have been privileged to partner with Birmingham Leadership Institute whose expertise has been instrumental in ensuring Future Vision continues to be the respected programme it is today. With a desire to offer the most relevant and impactful learning for our participants, we are currently pausing to develop a new offer which will continue to address the changing context and dynamics that leadership is operating in. Our next cohort is expected to begin in late 2025 and you can still express an interest by using the button below.
Who is the programme for?
Exercising leadership in complex contexts inevitably requires working across traditional organisational, professional, political and spatial boundaries. Future Vision is therefore an explicitly cross-sector programme for up to 25 participants selected to ensure that the cohort can benefit from a genuinely diverse range of experiences and perspectives. In a given year, a Future Vision cohort might include:
- Elected officials e.g. local authority Leaders and Police and Crime Commissioners
- Local authority Chief Executives
- Chief Constables and Chief Fire Officers
- Senior Officers from the armed forces
- Senior figures from the diplomatic service e.g. an Ambassador
- NHS Chief Executives from across the system
- Senior leaders in public health
- Senior civil servants from across Whitehall
- Senior leaders in pre-18, further and higher education
- Charity and third sector Chief Executives
- Senior figures in the business community.
