Leadership development

For 25 years we've been delivering customised leadership development programmes to meet organisations' unique challenges.

Trusted. The world over

Trust matters. When clients invite us in, they’re trusting us with their people, their culture, and their biggest challenges. For more than 25 years, iOpener has earned that trust by listening, challenging, and delivering leadership development solutions that work. 

Typically, our clients: 

  • Need to fix a current issue: a clear challenge in a team for instance, or a knowledge gap 
  • Want growth: through structured development of individuals, teams or the full organisation 
  • Are facing uncertainty: dealing with complex issues needing fresh thinking

90% of our work is repeat business

Our clients tell us they keep coming back because we: 

  • Have a global reach: we provide facilitators from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, matched to your context 
  • Are not that big: despite the global reach, we are a boutique consultancy. If you reach out to us, our MD will be in touch within 24 hours. No AI and no BS
  • Provide consistency: no pitch heroes parachuted in to win the work then never seen again - we provide a best fit senior consultant from the outset and a dedicated Programme Manager that gives you a seamless relationship and peace of mind
  • Are advocates of learning by doing: we don’t just tell, we create real experiences where leaders practice, reflect, and grow
  • Work on strengths that are already present: we don’t throw everything away, we build on what’s good and unlock untapped potential 

"A comprehensive and tailored approach to leadership development across cultures: thoughtfully designed and seamlessly blending theoretical frameworks with practical insights that are immediately applicable to our dynamic and fast-paced business environment."

Priscilla Guan, Vice President of Human Resources, Asia Pacific, FORVIA-HELLA 

Leadership solutions that stick

We don’t just run training. We create leadership experiences that: 

  • Work with what’s already good in your organisation 
  • Unlock hidden potential 
  • Deliver practical tools you can use immediately 
  • Spark long-term change in how people think and act 
"

Our partnership with iOpener is all about long-term trust. We trust them to evolve our highly successful Accelerator Leadership Development Programme to suit our changing needs, tailoring it over five years to keep it fresh and relevant. Our programme continues to develop our senior leaders, and equips them to step up to even more senior roles - which 35% of them have done since completing the program."

Senior Leader

Hanover

"

I loved, loved, loved, loved and hated it in equal measure the acting sessions: loved how interactive they were. And I loved how it pushed us out of our comfort zone a fair bit. And I think there's nothing wrong with that feeling even though at the time it's awful. And I loved that the working session led us to develop our own workshop, and to partner with someone to deliver that. I thought that was brilliant.”

Hybrid Programme Participant

Pharma Industry

"

I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for the LEAD Compass Program in the Asia Pacific region, delivered by iOpener. For over ten years the program has been a major success, thanks to the outstanding facilitators from iOpener, who worked in parallel to deliver to the same standards in both APAC and Europe."
