1. INTRODUCTION

JMW Consultants Australia Pty Ltd (“JMW”) is submitting this proposal for the customised design and delivery of a transformational leadership development offering, tailored to the needs of leaders across all divisions of Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd (“LCPL”). LCPL has clearly stated its purpose:

To be a trusted partner integral to our clients’ success.

Through our diverse capabilities, we enhance people’s lives

Values – Leadership – Excellence

In the context of a business strategy aimed at very significant growth, LCPL has identified the ability to attract, develop and retain the best people as a critical factor for sustainable future success. LCPL’s approach includes recognition that effective leadership underpins and drives culture and performance. This proposal responds to the LCPL Request for Proposal issued on September 19, 2011 seeking a qualified partner to develop an LCPL-wide leadership development curriculum as the core leadership development offering to leaders across all divisions of LCPL. It draws on over 29 years of JMW experience in supporting organisations to build leadership in the context of a high-performance culture and delivering their strategic ambitions and objectives. The program put forth in this proposal is designed to equip LCPL leaders to enhance organisational performance and embed the leadership capabilities required to do so, on a sustainable basis. We believe that the final design and approach is best determined in collaboration with yourself and other LCPL program sponsors.


2. JMW’S VIEW OF THE CHALLENGE

Since the appointment of Craig Laslett, Managing Director and Michael Metcalfe, Deputy Managing Director over a year ago, LCPL has been reshaping the company to meet the new industry environment in Australia and beyond, and to position itself for growth opportunities in key growth industries, including Resources and Hydrocarbons. Efforts have included aligning and reformulating the Executive Leadership Team, articulating the Purpose and Strategic Outcomes for the organisation to 2016, clearly defining a new operating model and rethinking how LCPL Divisions should be organised and can collaborate more effectively to meet both LCPL and client needs. People and Capability, Systems and Processes and Safety are particularly high on the agenda as both pain points and areas of enormous opportunity.

THE CHALLENGE

The imperative for LCPL is clear. As outlined in the Request for Proposal, LCPL will grow from 12,000 to 20,000 people by 2016. Business expansion of such magnitude brings with it all the attendant risks of operating safely, effectively and profitably in new markets and geographies, as well as ramping up the supporting functions, systems and processes on a very tight timetable. Among the myriad critical success factors, it is recognised that achieving this objective will require a workforce that is engaged, leadership that inspires performance and mobile, flexible people with the right skills and capabilities. It will also require leaders who can effectively manage people through significant organisational changes, including possible organisational redesign, effective internal and external co-operation and partnering, moves to a shared services model and strengthened client relationship building and management. The scope of this undertaking must be viewed in light of today’s unprecedented economic uncertainty. LCPL is clearly targeting to expand in the growth sectors of the economy which depend on China’s growth. In other sectors outside of Resources, Hydrocarbons and Telecommunications it is more difficult to reliably predict exactly what the marketplace will look like in the coming years. To survive and thrive with an aggressive growth strategy in such an environment, leaders (and companies) must be able to adapt quickly and effectively. This particular capability, JMW asserts, will provide unique leverage and power for emerging leaders in the new era. JMW has found that the ability to adapt proves to be a catalyst that accelerates personal learning and growth for future leaders, while enhancing their acquisition of other targeted capabilities.

WHY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT?

There is a growing appreciation within LCPL that effective leadership actually drives culture and performance. Meeting aggressive objectives will therefore require key staff to be able to:

“Step up” even more quickly into expanded roles and accountabilities Lead “from the future,” that is, understand and own their role in creating and fulfilling the

future Engage staff to target and deliver levels of performance that exceed what’s been achieved to

date, while dealing with complexity, uncertainty and rapid change Build and maintain sustained and trusted client relationships Create and lead, by example, a culture of accountability, integrity and high performance Collaborate effectively both internally across Functions and Divisions and with clients,

partners and others Lead through influence, authenticity and personal responsibility

In addition to developing an expanded set of capabilities, a strong leadership brand can also create a competitive advantage for the company in a highly resource-constrained market. Moreover, JMW maintains that growth of leadership capability is essential to altering culture and performance across an organisation.


CAPABILITIES CRITICAL FOR THE FUTURE

Experts now agree that developing new leadership skills and capabilities requires an ongoing commitment to expand self-awareness and the ability to translate new insights into action on a day-to-day basis. Conventional training methods alone are seldom sufficient. Even for talented and successful leaders, what’s called for is a fundamental shift in “worldview,” a shift in how and what they “see” in the everyday world of business, such that their thinking and actions are derived from a new and more expansive perspective - that is, from a broader set of possibilities and options. To make this shift requires identifying and shedding certain “default” approaches and habits developed from past experience – and adapting new practices consistent with the desired culture and the organisation’s performance aspiration. The table below illustrates a number of specific ways in which such transitions evidence themselves for leaders participating in JMW programs.

3. ABOUT JMW

JMW is a privately held corporation dedicated to helping companies significantly elevate organisational performance by working with people to expand and enhance their leadership and management abilities, capacities and competencies. Founded in 1982, JMW employs 70 individuals worldwide, serving Australia, Asia Pacific, North and South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. JMW clients span a broad range of industries including energy, financial services, pharmaceuticals, transportation, mining, manufacturing, technology, engineering and construction. JMW supports organisations in the following key areas:

Leadership Capability Development

Strategy Development and Implementation

Organisational Performance Assessments

High-Impact Performance Coaching

Aligning Senior Leadership Teams

Exceptional Delivery of Large-Scale, Complex Projects and Alliances

Building High-Performance Teams

Specific challenges typically include:

Achieving unprecedented improvement in company performance

Implementing critical initiatives that require cultural change, new mindsets and behaviours

Developing a leadership culture of accountability, commitment and effective action at all levels of an organisation

Building client focused organisations

Managing transition through organisation redesign and implementation of new operating models

Dramatically elevating individual productivity and work-life balance

Making organisational transformation sustainable

JMW has developed a core competency and specialisation in the customisation and delivery of leadership development programs tailored to client needs. For nearly three decades, we have partnered with clients to develop the staff who are critical to their future such that they make a far greater impact throughout their organisations.

JMW’s fundamental premise regarding development is that people are already effective, committed and competent. What limit their ability to realise their potential are barriers which often remain unseen. These barriers are not merely a function of external circumstances but rather a function of people’s worldview, which shapes their perception of business challenges, opportunities and impediments ….even themselves.

When people begin to recognise - and take responsibility for - the limits imposed by their world view, their vision of what is possible for themselves and their organisations expands. Standing in this new perspective, they are better able to identify and acquire the skills necessary to elevate their performance and the performance of those around them. This is how JMW helps clients transform the impact leaders make. Clients report that the impact of JMW’s programs is both immediate and lasting, and produces a measurable impact on people’s behaviour and effectiveness.


JMW Core Commitments

We are committed to expand what’s possible for people and our planet.

We are committed to operating with the highest level of respect, integrity and authenticity at all times with our staff, clients, service providers and the public.

Our commitment is to make a profound difference for clients, their industries and the world at large. We make a difference with clients who are out to make a difference.

We are committed to our clients as partners and to generating outcomes worth significantly more than their investment, and value beyond their expectation.

5. TRACK RECORD IN:

Transformational Leadership Development

In 1986, an internal audit attributed in excess of $100 million in savings to the success of JMW “breakthrough projects” in five of IBM’s key development laboratories. Consequently, JMW was asked to develop a training program to equip IBM managers and leaders with the capabilities required to deliver similar gains on an ongoing basis. The resulting program afforded our firm a unique opportunity … to demonstrate that “transformational” capabilities could be learned, assimilated, and replicated by others. The reputation and track record we enjoy today began then. We take the case that “Transformational Leadership Development” has three primary dimensions:

The individual’s own ability to think and act The individual’s ability to influence thinking and actions of others The organisation’s performance and results

In each dimension, the magnitude of impact targets an outcome beyond “the predictable.” Viewed as a whole, this constitutes the challenge of “Transformational Leadership Development. Literally thousands of individuals and numerous Fortune 100 and ASX 100 companies who have sponsored their participation attest to, and provide evidence for the fact that JMW has consistently met that challenge.

“JMW’s unique combination of developing leadership, while focusing on achieving specific results, is complimentary and supportive in having a company achieve a new level of performance. As a result of their work, I have observed an unmistakable change in how people view their roles, and who they need to be to fulfil on the company’s future. Having JMW on board provides an incredible tool for any leader trying to transform their company from where it is to where they want it to be.” Chief Operating Officer

During the same period (1984 - present), JMW has been an active player and contributor to the field of transformational leadership development. Our company was among the founding affiliates of Transformational Technologies Inc., an association of firms committed to making transformational theory and practice available to organisations and institutions worldwide. JMW is recognised among the owners of these firms as having consistently set the standard for leading edge services, quality of delivery, and documented client results. (This remains the case today among licensees of Tekniko, the association’s current name.) In addition, JMW has partnered with numerous development professionals and academic institutions to research and document the impact of transformational leadership in organisations, as well as to develop new and innovative offerings based on the findings. These associations in different eras included such noteworthy institutions as The Center for Creative Leadership and London Business School, as well as authors Richard Pascale, Dan Yankelovich, Noel Tichy, Warren Bennis, Sumantra Ghoshal, Jay Conger, Werner Erhard, Mike Jensen, Steve Zafron and Dave Logan.


Programs designed by JMW to develop transformational leadership were also noteworthy for having pioneered a variety of innovative concepts, approaches and practices. Many of these practices have since been adopted by leading academic institutions and corporate universities and as a result are now generally accepted as standard features of the leadership program delivery repertoire. These innovations include:

Rigorously articulating commitments for session purpose and outcomes and being held to account by participants

Conducting multiple session programs over extended periods of 9 to 12 months with assignments between sessions to apply and enhance learning in action

Requiring participants to define, commit to, and deliver breakthrough projects with measurable business value over and above existing expectations

Providing individual coaching during and between sessions

Using templates that enable constructive feedback and insight

Reconciling targeted project objectives against actual delivery for learning value

Linking course content to business context and priorities

Asking for commitments from participants to improve mental, physical and emotional health

Establishing learning support partners and groups to sustain learning beyond the program

Two case studies of the impact of JMW’s custom-designed transformational leadership development programs are provided in Appendices 1 and 2.

Long-Term Partnering And Integrity Of Delivery

EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH LONG-TERM PARTNERING

JMW structures engagements so that we work in partnership with our clients. It is our view that a collaborative communication approach among JMW staff and client best serves the initiative and the client.

NUMBER OF LONG-TERM (OVER 3 YEARS) CLIENTS

Examples of companies with whom JMW has engaged in long-term partnerships for design and delivery of leadership development (as well as other support) include those listed in the table below.

BP

Chevron

Conoco

Devon Canada

Shell

Standard Life

United States Internal Revenue Service

21 3 YEARS

5 YEARS


JMW has partnered with many internal learning and organisational development professionals as well as with external academic and other consultants/providers in the customised design of programs. For example, JMW successfully co-designed and delivered a leadership development program exclusively for Conoco University in collaboration with the London Business School and the Centre for Creative Leadership. The Conoco University Objectives included:

Unify leadership across the company Unify corporate standard for development Deliver measurable enhanced performance and results

This led to the development of the Trailblazer Program, which was the cover story of Business Week in the United States in 1999. Eight programs were scheduled. The merger with Phillips interrupted the seventh program.

JMW has also worked alongside other consulting firms, including McKinsey and PWC, to ensure that the design and implementation of our programs is integrated with other company performance initiatives in the most impactful way.

APPROACH TO PARTNERING

We follow a phased process to ensure quality customer service: Prepare, Engage, Execute and Manage, Complete.

In the Prepare phase, we involve the JMW staff who will be working with the client to jointly develop the program and develop a plan that clearly outlines our respective roles and accountabilities.

We engage the client to clarify expectations and establish an agreed means of measuring success.

During Execute and Manage, we carry out our roles and responsibilities, seeking fellow staff and client feedback on progress, issues, and areas for improvement, opportunities, risks, deliverables, and measures of success.

In Complete, we jointly work with the client to assess and document our final outcomes and determine lessons learned.

Our approach begins by taking the case that our assumptions (including those put forth in this proposal) are preliminary and would benefit from in-depth dialogue with appropriate LCPL personnel across the Divisions. Further, we would take the case that you expect our expertise to complement your “in-house” capabilities, and to provide a dimension you consider essential to success. To serve your needs, we consider it our responsibility to help clarify the scope and character of this contribution, and to design our partnership to be successful. To establish alignment regarding the points above, our approach would likely include the following steps which have proved helpful in JMW’s experience to date with co-design of transformational leadership development programs. 1. Build a foundation for a successful partnership – generally this begins with an “originating

event” in which the key players can: Connect by sharing and understanding each other’s expectations, values, biases and

commitments Agree a set of principles and protocols for working together and managing any conflicts

that arise Develop initial work plan (what needs to be done, and by when) and division of labour


2. Establish a schedule for consistent contact in real time; face-to-face and via teleconference. (Following the event described above, monthly face-to-face meetings can be utilised to confirm alignment and make strategic choices, while more frequent conference calls can update progress, identify changes and issues to resolve, and make new requests of each other.)

3. Agree on formats and process for creating and updating design documents (Purpose/Outcome

statements, session overviews, content modules, timelines, slides, etc.) Among the insights we’ve gained from experience to date with co-design and co-delivery of education, these have proved the most useful:

Design is not static, it should evolve as we learn together Changes in organisation and key players should be expected We have at least two categories of “clients” to satisfy - with different needs

− Sponsors − Participants

We can learn from each other’s expertise Efficiency is served by empowering the resource best suited for the task

− JMW adds value by discerning “what’s missing” in the content and process − Our expertise with “enrolment” can be exploited to our mutual advantage − We rely on your knowledge and experience to provide business context

Any breakdown can be resolved in communication

INTEGRITY OF DELIVERY

JMW is always seeking to elevate the integrity of delivery of our programs, which we approach in six ways:

1. The effectiveness of our program delivery against program objectives and promises. To what degree are the actual outcomes consistent with the design, the purpose, and the stated/promised outcomes? JMW is serious about the match between what we say and what gets delivered both in terms of content actually delivered, and in terms of what’s “received” by participants as described by them. Public declaration and private written feedback are instruments of holding ourselves to account. Such practices we believe to be a demonstration of a commitment to integrity of delivery. Consistent with this, JMW has rigorously articulated purpose and outcome statements for each session, as well as for the overall program. Participant assessment from documented feedback indicates a close correspondence between those objectives and what they leave with from the session, and from the program overall. Some of this feedback for LCPL programs is documented in section 6.

2. Willingness to continuously improve design and delivery, as evidenced by numerous iterations of programs with long term clients. Our track record of customer satisfaction, evidenced through numerous program iterations over time with long term clients we believe indicates a measure of integrity of delivery.

3. Fulfilling the intentions and managing the expectations of internal stakeholders who are non-participants


JMW manages the relationships with (non-participant) internal customers before, during and after program delivery to ensure that they are engaged and satisfied. Internal customers include Organisation and Leadership Development Professionals, Division and Function Managers as well as the CEO. JMW also supports participants to effectively manage the conversations and impact of their participation on their direct reports. We consider all these aspects to be part of successful delivery of a program.

4. Regular, session by session reviews of internal and external business conditions to adapt program content for maximum impact. JMW meets with relevant client stakeholders, OD and learning professionals and program sponsors between each session to ensure that all current business issues are known to the Program Leaders, including how those issues might be affecting the participants and how best to position or frame the material in subsequent sessions to be of most benefit to the participants and therefore the organisation.

5. Internal JMW quality reviews

JMW conducts regular internal quality reviews of client engagements. Senior JMW program leaders and consultants meet with senior management to review progress of outcomes against promises, share best practice in design and delivery, support the identification of any areas that are not a match for JMW’s quality standards and design appropriate actions to elevate impact consistent with our commitment.

6. Two senior JMW professionals working in partnership We have learned through many years of experience that ensuring a transformational impact for each and every participant requires a highly tuned capability in managing both the conversations that happen “out loud” (between the program leader and participants and between participants themselves), as well as the listening of those not speaking. What is in the background listening shapes the learning. With 20+ people in the room, this requires two highly trained program leaders to manage this critical aspect of program delivery.

Ultimately, professionals at JMW hold themselves to a standard of integrity which includes meeting expectations as well as promises, and if they are not met, we hold ourselves to account and take whatever actions needed to restore a condition of integrity in both expectations and deed.


6. CULTURAL FIT OF ORGANISATION AND CONSULTANTS WITH LCPL

In General

JMW has a detailed understanding of LCPL having been engaged by the company to support a range of challenges and initiatives since 2001. JMW has primarily supported the Construction Division. In recent years this has expanded to include the I&E and LIFM Divisions of LCPL, as well as the Executive Leadership Team and corporate (group) functions, with the following:

Custom design and delivery of senior leadership development programs Strategy development and implementation Leadership team alignment Delivery of large-scale projects and alliances – building high-performance teams Turnaround of distressed projects Executive coaching Supervisory/Frontline leadership programs for major projects

JMW understands the journey that LCPL is on and the organisational ambitions, aspirations and performance challenges. We have a team of senior professionals who have all contributed to Leighton engagements at various times and in various capacities. There are several factors which suggest that JMW is uniquely suited to work with LCPL to expand the leadership capability within the organisation. These include: Familiarity with LCPL Executives and current strategic challenges

JMW continues to support LCPL conversations regarding strategy and critical organisational issues at the senior most levels of the organisation. We have unique insight into the perspectives, challenges and strengths of the Divisions and Functions and the strategic direction of the company overall. The emerging impact and requirements for organisational design, behaviours, internal and external cooperation and effective implementation of the operating model are a few critical examples of the necessary context for effective design and implementation of Leading at Leighton.

Extensive experience with engineering and construction companies – as well as their client companies

In providing leadership development and consulting to engineering and construction companies in Australia and around the world, as well as for many of their clients, we appreciate the performance challenges facing companies in this industry and in the current economic climate in particular.

Understanding of the nature of the people and the work

JMW understands projects in LCPL and related industries - it is a language with which we are familiar. The JMW team have many years experience working with engineering and scientific professionals and the manner of thinking in which they have been trained. Similarly, we are very experienced in relating to pragmatic, direct people, as is characteristic of LCPL. In fact, we very much value and enjoy it! Demonstrated success in developing leaders in LCPL

JMW has a proven track record in developing technical professionals from varied engineering, and scientific disciplines, including those who have had limited leadership development experience. As mentioned above, this includes the successful delivery of several programs for LCPL.


TABLE OF STATISTICS

An analysis of Leighton program participant surveys is provided below as indicative evidence of a cultural fit of JMW’s leadership development approach within LCPL. While restricted to Construction, I&E and LIFM Division participants, the survey data suggests that the JMW programs fit well within the Leighton culture, to the extent that culture is represented by the participants in past and current programs. Following is a compilation of survey results from the two leadership programs designed and led by JMW for Leighton NSW in 2007 and 2008. A total of 44 participants completed these two programs. Among other questions, participants were asked to indicate the degree to which the purpose and outcomes of the programs were fulfilled for them. They were also asked their level of improvement against an established list of capabilities. One could argue that had there been no cultural fit, the results would have been less satisfactory. (Please note we are also aware of some negative feedback which is addressed in section 7)

Philosophy And IP (Frameworks, Tools And Language) And Their Resonance With LCPL

JMW’s development philosophy proceeds from three fundamental premises. Experience to date with LCPL suggests there is considerable resonance with and appreciation of these perspectives among program participants in general, and several key leaders with whom we’ve shared and discussed the themes in particular. To briefly summarise these core premises, we take the case that:

Human beings want their lives to matter, and are thus drawn to opportunities for extraordinary accomplishment and a chance to make a difference.

This statement serves as a “ground of being,” a foundation from which to think about who people are and how one might choose to relate to them. It appeals to people’s best instincts about themselves and others, and hence provides an optimistic and highly empowering entry point for taking on the challenge of personal learning and growth.

Successful people are already highly effective and committed, but they have barriers to the full realisation of their innate potential for effectiveness and commitment.

With this as a given, there’s no need to be defensive about learning. Even the most capable and talented leaders can recognise areas to improve and take their prowess to a new level. However, what’s not obvious to them is how often the most significant barriers to realise their potential are unseen. These “blind spots” reside in one’s habitual views and opinions – about the environment, about others, and even about oneself. Once seen and acknowledged, authentic new insights and breakthroughs emerge, revealing pathways beyond prior limits.

Learning is a social phenomenon which, in and of itself, is enabling and satisfying.

Effective acquisition of new capabilities invariably occurs in a social environment, in communities of practice. Evidence also shows that those who engage in ongoing learning derive a greater sense of satisfaction from their everyday experience of living and working.

To put our development philosophy into practice, JMW has developed a unique pedagogical model that incorporates informational, operational and transformational learning. The difference in method and impact is demonstrated by the following model:

Informational

Traditional classroom

Operational

In Action

Transformational

Worldview Changing

DOING COACHING PRACTICE

BEING QUESTIONING

INSIGHT

KNOWING REPLICATING

ANSWERS


By addressing what’s required for leaders to advance in all three realms, the impact extends beyond the benefits of traditional learning – which deepens understanding through new relevant data. As with any practical skill or competence, improvement depends on consistent and appropriate practice. Our approach incorporates sufficient time and attention to enable leaders to discover what they can actually “do” to practice the specific behaviours and actions which are designed to enhance their effectiveness. This emphasis has been cited by LCPL program participants as a helpful aspect of their learning to date. While the components required for transformational learning are less familiar and obvious, we have developed reliable methods for instigating this process. Consistent with findings in recent research, challenging successful and talented individuals to question their own assumptions, habits and attitudes proves useful in building a new level of personal reflection, insight, and self-knowledge. Discussions of this kind are often the key to significant shifts in one’s orientation as a leader (see the display at the end of Section 2 for reference). The result evidences itself in greater freedom to express oneself fully and authentically, which is generally accompanied by a new sense of clarity and confidence from which to navigate as a leader. Positive feedback from LCPL program participants indicates an appreciation of the particular insight and value derived from their experience of this kind of “Transformational Learning.” Each individual learns differently and at a different pace, therefore part of JMW’s philosophy is to include alternate modes of learning. This kind of impact for people can be accomplished in classroom training and through blended learning modalities, e.g., teleconferences and web conferences, multi-media, on-line programs, coaching, project work, etc. JMW’s training philosophy therefore includes training that encourages participants to:

Own their development and take the opportunity seriously

Engage fully in programs

Explore, and be willing to be surprised by insights that occur as authentic and compelling

Take the opportunity to reflect and integrate that experience to draw a deeper

understanding of how leadership actually shows up “on the field”

Develop a more sensitive and precise inner compass

Develop an appreciation of development beyond assessment

Adopt an approach to career development as a journey of learning

From the perspective of IP, JMW’s leadership development programs incorporate the following fundamentals:

1. Transformational leadership stands on a foundation of integrity, authenticity and the courage to be committed to something bigger than oneself

2. Leadership in action is defined as “causing what isn’t” vs. “managing what is.” Ultimately, a leader’s job is to intervene in service of performance and results which would not otherwise occur.

3. Confronting the limits imposed by one’s strengths and weaknesses provides an access to

create capabilities beyond both. This is the key to increased confidence.

4. Greater fluency with the language of commitment and action enables leaders to translate concepts, possibilities and ideas into real and measurable results. It also provides increased leverage for influencing others and responding to change.


5. Delivery of business challenge (“breakthrough”) project objectives which exceed existing expectations (both during and subsequent to the program) provide the requisite challenge and stretch to ensure learning is translated.

In this context, JMW has an extensive library of relevant content to draw on, many elements of which are well established in LCPL programs conducted to date. The nature of the content ranges from conceptual frameworks to specific methods, tools and practices for applying such concepts in real time. Allowing for individual preferences (and specific negatives) LCPL program participants have generally found much they could relate to and apply.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS

Given that the impact of JMW’s leadership development programs is transformational; our programs are designed to reliably prompt dramatic shifts in leaders’ views of themselves and their capacity to contribute to their organisation.

Our program leaders engage program participants in structured dialogues and facilitated inquiries that draw on approaches pioneered in the sciences of Phenomenology and Ontology and which have been refined and validated by recent discoveries and developments in Neuroscience. In 29 years of “on-the-court” engagement, study and refinement, JMW has developed a body of proprietary practices and distinctions which we deploy in our programs. Program participants are prompted to engage in rigorous thinking to master these distinctions and the new perspectives they provide. This approach closes the learning gap between knowing and doing. Instead of merely gaining a better understanding of the skills required for current and future success, leaders actually master new perspectives. This unique learning model enables them to move beyond understanding, to fully own and integrate new skills and capabilities critical to expanding their leadership.

Example key frameworks, tools and distinctions deployed in our leadership programs include:

A Spectrum of Conversations™ for

Engagement and Enrolment

The Anatomy of Reaction

Access to Authenticity Facts versus Interpretations

Alignment versus Agreement The Nature of Commitment versus

Compliance

Background Conversations Committed vs. Descriptive Talking

Declaring New Possibilities Principles of Integrity and Accountability

Intervening With Problems Bringing Closure to the Past

Inventing the Future Limits of Self as Identity

Leading through Influence Keeping Vision Alive

The Breakthrough Model™ Essentials of Collaboration

The Source of Performance

For example content, please see Appendix 4. For example program and session purpose and outcomes, please refer to those for the current Future Leaders Program.

JMW’s proprietary technology of principles, practices and tools are taught in ways that have each participant challenge him/herself to achieve the highest level of what is possible through self-reflection, choice and insight. In fact, after the programs, people are able to use everyday experiences and challenges as a fertile ground for continuous growth and development.


JMW’s methods include such specific tools and practices as:

Techniques for listening more generously to others; Templates for establishing commitments via clear and effective requests, promises and

offers; Processes to identify and acknowledge one’s biases and prejudices; Templates for offering constructive feedback; Written assignments to speculate about, expand on, debate new principles; Individual, partner, and group exercises utilising role play, critique, and coaching to embed

learning and generate insights; Role-play presentations to test engagement, understanding and agreement of others.

JMW has evidence from more than 5,000 graduates that this leadership capability development continues to expand over time based on the learning shift that is generated during our programs, even more so when structures are developed to support ongoing practice and coaching, and to integrate the learning. Clients report that the impact of JMW’s programs is both immediate and lasting, and produces a measurable impact on people’s behaviour and effectiveness.

JMW is also aware of aspects of the learning method and language that have not resonated well with some Leighton participants, or with some Executives who have not participated in the programs but have heard about some of the content from past and current participants. This feedback and JMW’s proposed response is outlined in Section 7.


Proposed JMW Team

Please note:

1. Depending on the number of programs that LCPL needs at a given time, JMW has other Senior Faculty to draw on to lead programs, including David Spiwack and others globally and locally.

2. JMW’s responsiveness to administrative matters for the 2011 Construction Division program has at times not met our own standards. Once the full scope for Leading at Leighton is known, we will review and determine the optimal approach for administration.

3. JMW’s leadership development programs are delivered by two highly trained, senior professionals of many years experience. JMW will draw on our most experienced resources to support the design and delivery of the LCPL programs. We propose to complement this (as outlined above) with highly experienced, program leaders who also have extensive consulting experience in LCPL and other Australian and Asia Pacific organisations to deliver high performance outcomes.

7. DELIVERY OF PROGRAM PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES (OUR OFFER)

Learning and Recommendations From Past JMW Programs at LCPL

REFINEMENTS TO DATE

Since delivering three programs in the NSW Construction Division since 2007, the current Leighton Future Leaders Program has evolved to incorporate the following:

Closer integration with the strategic outcomes and ambition of the Construction and I&E Divisions, both in terms of the broader context of the program and the design and delivery of business challenge projects (thus far termed “Extraordinary Outcomes”)

Development of a Mentor program with graduates mentoring current participants. This provides a learning benefit for both the Mentor and Mentee. The take-up rate of this opportunity has been very high

Strengthened links with strategic priorities to build support building a culture of Integrity, Accountability and High-Performance Teams

Visits by Senior Division and BU Managers to both share their learning and experiences, as well as their expectations for current participants and the business

Increasing emphasis on reflection, preparation and management feedback prior to the commencement of the program to clarify individual leadership gaps, learning objectives, and what participants have at stake in being in the program

Increased internal support for development and delivery of “extraordinary outcomes”, including the role of Cindy Moussi as a coach and support, and the active interest of the Division Managers, both through attendance at the sessions and off line.

In the case of the LIFM Division, a program has been designed for an intact team, including the Division Manager and the top 25 managers in his team. The program has both a delivery as well as development focus, with the sessions of the program providing a forum for strategic alignment and working on strategy implementation challenges. Transformational leadership concepts are incorporated into the program allowing strategic issues and challenges to be worked “real time,” utilising the new frameworks and tools to facilitate individual and team learning.

PROGRAM FEEDBACK TO BE ADDRESSED

In addition to positive feedback and support for the JMW programs in many quarters, JMW is also aware of negative feedback from some participants, as well as references to the program that have caused difficulty within the broader, internal LCPL environment. While JMW is not clear how widespread such feedback is, we are committed to being responsive and to ensuring that these issues and concerns do not persist. Further, we believe that appropriate refinement of program design, content and delivery will largely resolve the issues without diluting the desired transformational impact. Early ideas to achieve this are offered in Section B below. Identified issues include:


Some participants find the program polarising.

There is a perceived tension between those who quickly embrace program premises and terminology and those who prefer to take a more sceptical posture in their participation. The apparent “evangelism” of the former group has been “off-putting” to the latter. This tension is characterised as “polarising.” The content, design and delivery of a new Leading at Leighton program will need to temper this response. Aspects of the program language do not resonate.

Some of the specialised terminology in the program (including “extraordinary outcomes,” “transformational leadership”, etc.) has raised concern. It is viewed by some as exclusive or arrogant and by others as insufficiently pragmatic and “down-to-earth” for LCPL employees and an engineering environment. Such “terms of art” are deliberately designed to provoke thinking beyond habitual tactics to improve action and performance. At the same time, JMW understands that more pragmatic terminology will work best in general and a few key terms in particular may need to be eliminated from the vocabulary for Leading at Leighton.

Delving into people’s past is unnecessary.

We agree. For some people any conversations which reference earlier experiences in life are viewed as too personal and outside the scope of business and leadership. JMW can respond to this concern with a new framework and material to ensure sufficient depth of impact and heightened self-awareness for participants, while avoiding what is for some an overly personal approach.

The program is too expensive

The structure and intensity of the current Future Leaders program in the Construction and I&E Division requires a very significant investment of time and money. In reviewing the Leading at Leighton program intentions in the RFP, we believe they can be accomplished more efficiently and in less time.

Participation of managers at sessions in design of projects is viewed by some as intimidating.

Attempts in this year’s program to elevate the level of involvement and support by senior managers in the design of Extraordinary Outcomes have left a few participants feeling judged and/or criticised. Again, the context and design of this aspect needs to be enhanced to mitigate the risk of such a response.

Some participants experience too much support and input

JMW has recently had feedback from a few participants that in addition to the Learning Partner, Mentor support and JMW Coaching, they are also receiving input/coaching from other consultants/coaches hired by Leighton. While participants recognise and appreciate that this is all provided to support them, so much input can be confusing and at times overwhelming. It will be important for the design of Leading at Leighton that all input is well coordinated and that we reconsider how much, and what type of support is optimal.


CHALLENGES FOR AN LCPL-WIDE PROGRAM

In addition to addressing the evolution of the program based on the feedback outlined above, JMW is also aware that the context for designing and delivering an LCPL-wide program is substantially different than that for the current Construction Division Programs. In the case of the latter, the Sponsor Executive (Mike Metcalfe) was a graduate of JMW’s public The Leader of the Future® program and to this day, is a powerful advocate for the value of transformational leadership development as the basis of individual performance improvement, as well as underpinning organisational culture development and organisational performance.

While two other ELT members are also graduates, the level of sponsorship across the remaining Divisions and Functions will obviously vary. JMW understands that it is not agreed or planned to have the head of each Division and/or Function participate in the program. There are various options that JMW can employ to ensure that executives are sufficiently engaged and informed to effectively leverage the development opportunity for their organisations.

Appropriately designed briefings for Division and Function leaders would likely include:

1. What is covered in the program, the content and approach 2. How the program is designed to support the leadership culture they want to develop for

LCPL 3. What they can expect of people who participate in the program 4. What will be required of them to best support graduates on completion of the program 5. The limits of leadership development (that it is not a “fix” for under or poor performance).

The optimal approach for engaging LCPL ELT members, both individually and collectively, to maximise the impact and value of the program investment, will be determined in partnership with you during the design phase for Leading at Leighton. JMW believes that there are advantages of conducting leadership development programs with intact teams, as well as advantages in bringing people together across Divisions and Functions. As in the current LIFM example, the program can serve as a forum to directly apply learning, real time, to leadership alignment around strategic challenges and opportunities. It can serve a dual purpose in developing capabilities at the same time as moving business issues forward. This is possible in either scenario, depending on the grouping of participants. However, maximising the potential delivery impact of such a program requires that the senior-most manager also participates. Mixed groups drawn from across various Divisions and Functions strengthens the network of relationships of participants across the company and their knowledge and understanding of LCLP overall. It supports participants to see their careers and future inside a bigger context of the company, rather than within one Division, which can assist career development and staff retention strategies. Thinking about issues from the perspective of the whole company is likely to become increasingly important to the success of LCPL’s strategy. The programs represent a key lever in breaking down silo mindsets. The recommended approach which follows below can be designed to be delivered to a range of participant pools – either intact team drawn within a particular Division, or cross Division and cross Functional groups. Our experience shows that what works best to initiate a development intervention of this scope, is to begin where both the interest and what is at stake is highest. This might mean an initial program in the most receptive Division (outside of Construction). Alternatively, it might mean that two Divisions have sufficient interest to fill a joint program at first. It might also be that there is an intact team that really sees the value of being early adopters, and even of having the division manager participate. Or it might be that the ELT view the cultural and organisational benefit of an intensive approach to developing many cross-functional and/or intact teams concurrently.


IN SUMMARY - RECOMMENDED CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS

In light of the feedback and evolution of the current programs as outlined above, JMW recommends taking a fresh approach to both the context, language and some of the content of the Leading at Leighton program. This new approach includes the following elements:

1. New, pragmatic language and links to LPI JMW will introduce and emphasise more pragmatic language including alternative terms for concepts that have been regarded as problematic, such as “extraordinary outcome”. While we may recommend that some terms remain as important “terms of art”, the language will be considered and determined in partnership with you to ensure it resonates appropriately with LCPL. It is the distinctions, concepts and tools utilised in JMW programs that are ultimately important - less so the nomenclature to describe them. In addition, the JMW program vocabulary will be reviewed to build links and consistency with the capabilities described and measured in the Leadership Practices Inventory.

2. Maintaining depth of impact Design, content and language adaptations will eliminate most if not all of the references people find troublesome or too personal, without diminishing the transformational impact of the program. JMW will always consider changes from the perspective of maintaining the integrity of program impact, delivery and organisational benefits.

3. New structure and design From preliminary re-design conversations for Leading at Leighton, JMW proposes that the intentions of the program as outlined in the RFP be accomplished more efficiently, in fewer sessions. This is detailed in the following section.

4. An additional new context for transformational leadership

A new context, introduced at the program’s outset will provide additional possibilities for development as well as allow for less focus on people’s past and how they came to be the way they are. The new context is - Transformational leadership stands on a foundation of integrity, authenticity and the courage to be committed to something bigger than oneself. The entire program will be re-designed within this new context. JMW will engage participants in the view that the “being” of a leader and the effective exercise of leadership include three factors:

Integrity - creates workability and develops trust and is the cornerstone to holding oneself and others to account.

Authenticity - is being and acting consistent with who you hold yourself out to be for others, and who you hold yourself to be for yourself.

Being Committed to Something Bigger than Oneself - is the source of power in leading and in exercising leadership effectively.

5. Building bridge between past and future programs

The material in the current Future Leaders Program can be adapted easily to the new context recommended above to ensure consistency and continuity between the thinking and approach of past and future participants. Much of the current material will remain as a powerful way of operationalising the leadership framework.


6. Leveraging the learning impact JMW offers to work with LCPL to continue to design ways to sustain and leverage participant learning within the organisation. While almost all participants derive significant and lasting benefits from JMW programs, the degree to which the environment in the organisation supports the ongoing application of learning has a big impact on sustainability. This includes ensuring coherence between development plans, performance and talent management frameworks and/or application of tools and frameworks to management of day-to-day meetings and business. JMW has found that even if program learning recedes into the background and is not being powerfully applied to performance (as one would expect for some people, at least from time to time), it can be re-presenced almost instantly in an appropriately designed conversation. Also, as the number of LCPL participants reaches a critical mass of people across Divisions who are operating within the new, shared frame of reference for leadership, the environment will increasingly pull for the application of learning. JMW will discuss optimal approaches for LCPL to leverage the benefits of the program and ensure organisational support for the ongoing application of learning.

7. Enhanced context for management visits JMW will elevate coordination of setup and execution of the sessions when senior managers attend the sessions to support the development of business challenge projects, so they are more effective for all concerned. This includes working more closely with the visiting managers to offer guidance on the kind of feedback best suited for the program format and providing a more expansive context and preparation for the participants, particularly those who see such sessions as daunting.

Recommended Structure And Components For “Leading At Leighton”

JMW proposes the following change in structure to the existing program. Instead of the Future Leaders Program structure of four sessions comprising 4 days, 3 days, 4 days, 3 days - JMW recommends that the Leading at Leighton program comprise 4 days, 3 days, 4 days. As discussed above, this structure allows for the following:

Delivery of the intentions for the program as outlined in the RFP, with desired transformational impact

Redesign of the program within a new context for leadership

Improvements and efficiencies in delivery as outlined above

Reduced total spend for the program

The recommended components of the program are presented in the table below.

NOMINATION AND SELECTION PROCESS

JMW recommends refining and continuing the current Construction Division selection process for Leading at Leighton. This includes nomination and invitation from the Division Manager, clarity around the basis of nomination and the expectations of participation. It also includes requests for participant responses, including reasons for wanting to participate and what the participant would like to derive from the program, both individually and for the business. (Please refer to letter from Mike Metcalfe to participants, drafted by JMW in conjunction with Cindy Moussi). The nomination and selection process should also include linking participation with succession planning and talent management strategies.

PRE-WORK AND ENGAGEMENT

In JMW’s view, the program starts with the nomination process. Between then and commencement of the program, important recommended preparatory activities include:

Speaking with managers and colleagues about leadership “gaps” to work on in the program

Assigned pre-Reading

Speculating about a business challenge to be at work on in the context of the program

Orientation call with Program Leader (described below)

Reflecting on the results of the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), as an indicator of how and in what areas they are committed to developing themselves from their participation


ORIENTATIONS

Prior to each course, JMW will conduct individual conversations with the participants to illuminate for the program leaders the specific challenges and issues the participants are facing. These conversations also inform the design of sections of the program, and ensure that participants are clear about the nature and approach of the program. They are typically of 60 minutes duration. During these conversations, participants begin to better understand the nature and expectations of a business challenge project to take on in the context of the program and are left to think about and engage with their manager and colleagues about possible appropriate projects to take on. The gaps in participant leadership capabilities and what they would like to focus on developing in the program is also be discussed, both in general terms and specifically in the context of the results of participants’ LPI’s for the Leading at Leighton program.

CLASSROOM

Our recommendation is that the program consist of three (3) residential sessions - two sessions of four (4) days duration and one session of three (3) days duration - across a nine-month period for up to 25 participants. Each day will start at 8:30am and end at 6:00pm. While we do not consider residential to be essential, it is recommended. It is very important the participants put aside their day-to-day pressing business issues to put themselves into a learning environment without interruption. What it takes for some participants to carve out this time and effectively delegate to others, often represents an initial breakthrough in their leadership! It is also optimal to allow for evening assignment partner and group work and for networking and building relationships with other participants. JMW has found that multiple sessions provide the best structure to practice and apply learning to the delivery of new results. The opportunity at each session to debrief and learn from successes as well as failures prior to developing new tools and competencies has the maximum cumulative effect. In our view, residential sessions provide the following benefits to participants:

Enhances their relationships with one another Promotes the informal discussion of issues, concerns and opportunities Provides the opportunity to work together on evening assignments (readings, discussions

and exercises) Allows time away from day-to-day demands to think and learn with less distraction

As mentioned on page 17, we have learned through many years of experience that the optimal delivery approach to ensure a transformational impact for each and every participant requires two highly trained Program Leaders. One clear intent of the program is to ensure that all critical issues and limits to current thinking surface and are resolved. Depending on the nature of the issues in the background, this is not always a straight forward exercise. We have found that the effectiveness of sessions is greatly enhanced by having two people to listen and deal with the dynamics occurring in the session and manage the conversation.


REAL-TIME LEARNING AND RESULTS

The program will be designed to have participants take on real-time organisational issues and challenges in a way that returns significantly in excess of the investment costs of their participation in the program and provides a direct impact on performance. There is a direct line of sight from the development work in the programs to the ambitions of the organisation. Participants will create and deliver a business challenge project that exceeds existing expectations, makes a tangible difference to the organisation and requires a step change in their leadership. The project provides an opportunity for participants to demonstrate the integration of the program’s principles, skills and practices into their leadership.

EVENING AND BETWEEN SESSION ASSIGNMENTS – SELF STUDY PROGRAM

Participants will be given daily and between session assignments to progress their learning, embed key principles and models and to provide an opportunity for reflection and practice. The assignments include readings from business literature, group and partner discussions, personal reflection, application of new practices and reaching milestones for delivery of the projects they have chosen. Example assignments include sharing with study partner about what is opening up out of participating in the program and to coach each other; taking on a daily practice to stay engaged and keep the learning alive; Readings from Supplemental Reading List. To assist such self study, participants are provided with guidelines for working with a learning partner, a “Practice Menu” for application of learning a Supplemental Reading List and Study Partner Coaching Guidelines.

COACHING

The program will incorporate one-on-one coaching with a Program Leader, both during the program and between sessions to ensure all questions about course content are answered and to support the application and practice of learning. Embedding and internalising learning and the application to day-to-day business challenges is a key commitment underpinning the recommended design of the program. Coaching support is provided for three distinct purposes. 1. Clarify any outstanding questions from the material covered and/or feedback forms and how it can be applied to current challenges and situations. 2. The development and implementation of the Business Challenge Project including:

The design of the project including the identification of key milestones Identification of key stakeholders and the design of conversations to establish necessary buy-in

and commitments An approach for powerfully addressing obstacles and problems

3. To address specific counterproductive behaviours/style preferences that are impeding an individual’s leadership effectiveness and develop new capabilities and approaches that are effective and consistent with Leighton’s cultural shift, including:

Clearly identify the performance issue and establish the desired outcome Bring new insight and awareness to the issue Establish new strategies and capabilities


The results of the LPI will also be incorporated into the coaching calls and can serve as a useful baseline. Participants can subjectively (with their JMW coach) assess their progress in the areas they identified as leadership gaps prior to program commencement. The LPI feedback and results can be viewed in the context of their learning and development in the program.

JMW recommends at minimum, coaching calls/meetings once between sessions, as well during sessions. We would like to discuss the potential cumulative impact of providing an additional coaching call/s after completion of the program, when the formal support structure of the classrooms has ended and additional support may be needed. We have recently found that the combined benefits of an additional coaching call can far outweigh the additional incremental cost.

MENTORING BY PAST PROGRAM GRADUATES

It is recommended that the program design includes participants where practical, having a past graduate as a Mentor to support them through the program. JMW has found that this can enhance the experience and benefit participants derive from the program. Mentors are available to participants as someone to go to for advice, guidance and support - to point them in the right direction, listen to their potential struggles in the program, share their own journey and be committed that they be successful with their business challenge projects. Taking on this role for participants also contributes to the ongoing development of the mentor him/herself. There is nothing better than supporting someone else’s leadership development to deepen one’s own learning and re-presence the principles, ideas and practices of transformational leadership. As Leading at Leighton is delivered across the Divisions, the practicality of implementation of mentor support will need to be assessed, in light of the make-up of the new participant pools and availability of mentors.

NETWORKING AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS THE BUSINESS

Whether participants are drawn from different parts of the business, or participate in intact teams, the program will be designed to maximise networking opportunities and collaboration with others. In the former selection pool, a key additional benefit is a deepened understanding and awareness of the accountabilities and strategic concerns of other parts of the business while building deep and enduring relationships with colleagues. This happens not only as a result of the sharing during the class sessions, but also as a result of assignments that request them to work in groups and the fact that the participants usually dine together in various size groups. A cocktail reception during the first week of the program provides further opportunity for informal networking.

VISITS FROM SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM

At each session of the program, leaders from the Divisions and Functions will attend the session and where appropriate, address the group regarding both current business issues and (if relevant) share their experience and impact of the program. We have found that this builds a strong connection between participants and senior managers and also between the business and the program content.

LEARNING PARTNERS

Besides having a graduate mentor, the participants will be paired-up into learning partners. They will be encouraged to talk to their learning partner as frequently as they can make work, but no less than every two weeks. The intent is to support each other with the assignments, getting another’s experience of applying the ideas and principles, and making progress with their business challenge project.


WELCOME RECEPTION AND COMPLETION DINNER

As part of the program, JMW recommends that LCPL hosts a reception to welcome people to the program. Ideally this would be addressed by the CEO or alternate senior executive and/or Division Manager. This sends a powerful signal regarding the importance of leadership development and the program to LCPL, builds a powerful connection to the strategy and future of the company and facilitates participants building strong relationships as quickly as possible. On the final evening, JMW recommends hosting a completion dinner. The intent is to bring the program to a close with an evening of celebration and recognition of the contribution the participants have made to each other, as well as to be known and appreciated for the difference each participant has made to the success of the program and each other. Past participants report that this is a defining event in the program.

LEARNING METHODS EMPLOYED

JMW employs a range of learning methods in the classroom:

Lecture, Dialogue and Inquiry Small and Large Group Discussions Exercises, Simulations, Presentations and Videos Reflection and Observation

COURSE MATERIAL PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS

Participant binders/manuals will be provided at the start of the program. Materials can be provided in hard copy, although increasingly, JMW clients prefer the use of a memory stick.

Relevant materials are added each session, including:

Daily agendas Copies of all slides Handouts from the day’s work Assignments Selected business articles, books and recommended reading lists Templates, models, practices menus, etc.

JMW has a considerable library of relevant content developed over nearly 30 years. The nature of the content contribution ranges from well established conceptual frameworks to specific methods, tools and practices for applying such concepts in real time.

Many templates and models are provided which effectively form the basis of a “Tool Kit” for use after the completion of the program. Examples include:

Template for the design and delivery of breakthrough projects Processes for establishing and managing shared commitments Constructive feedback templates Practice menus for recognising one’s own counterproductive behaviours Templates for generating and capturing insights Approaches for speculating about, expanding upon and debating new principles Methodology for “leading from the future”


Other Optional Approaches

JMW can also create a modularised structure for the design of leadership development programs. An example of modules designed and developed for another client is outlined in the diagram below. The key advantage of such an approach is that it allows for a core curriculum to be standardised across an entire company, while also allowing for differences in emphasis and curriculum for different Divisions.

JMW does not recommend this approach for LCPL for a number of reasons:

1. Developing such a program will require far greater design, development and piloting time than the proposed re-design and three session structure recommended above

2. The recommended three session structure provides an enhanced ability to reinforce learning over time, with a commensurate cumulative impact

3. A modularised approach is better suited to companies much larger than LCPL, where cross Division cooperation and flexibility of staff is less critical.

However, JMW is happy to further discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this approach for LCPL.

Utilising the Leadership Practices Inventory Development Tool/Framework

JMW has extensive experience in utilising the results of such tools as 360 degree feedback tools and the LPI, in conjunction with our leadership development programs. We do not recommend that the LPI be embedded into the program as such but rather is utilised as key data and input for participants and JMW program leaders to identify leadership capabilities (strengths, weaknesses and gaps), and as an additional tool for informally assessing progress in the program. The context for use of the results of the LPI will be learning and development as was discussed earlier in this section of the proposal.


8. CAPABILITY AND CAPACITY

To Provide Interstate Delivery With Consistent Outcomes And Participant Experience

JMW has trained and developed a dedicated cadre of leaders who have been intensively trained over many years to lead the company’s distinctive educational programs.

As discussed in the previous section, our programs are led by two people, to allow one to focus fully on actively engaging participants in the program material and the other to actively observe and continuously monitor the process, to sense and detect the dynamic in the room at both an individual and group level. This ensures the all important transformational impact on each and every participant. We are willing to discuss the possibility of delivering the program with one program leader, but based on many years experience, we do not recommend it. JMW program leaders have a range of experience leading JMW programs, not only in different Australian states, but in different countries and the context of their distinctive cultures, ranging from North and South America, to Europe and Africa, the Middle East and Asian countries including Japan and China.

To Deliver Program Support

Experience over time has confirmed that the physical space in which a JMW program is conducted is an essential ingredient in achieving consistently high participant outcomes. We have also learned from experience that this dimension is easily overlooked. We are committed to maintaining impeccable standards for the quality and attention to detail with which the advance preparation and management of our programs are conducted.

JMW employs a dedicated group of individuals as Program Managers who are accountable for this aspect of our programs. Staff members accountable for this role have undergone a period of intense development in parallel with the rigorous training of JMW Program Leaders ... in handling the organisation, production, administration and management of the logistics and delivery of each and every session of a JMW program.

Working closely with the accountable Program Leader, the Program Manager is tasked with ensuring the quality of pre program communication with all participants, as well as all aspects of the logistical arrangements and session administration of participant materials. The Program Manager considers him/herself personally accountable for the success of every participant.

As mentioned on page 26, JMW will review and determine the optimal internal arrangements for supporting program administration once LCPL’s requirements are clear, with a view to elevating performance in this area.

(To Provide) IP That Can Be Used Directly Or Reflected In Other LCPL Management And Leadership Development Programs

JMW understands that LCPL will be redesigning leadership development programs for other levels within the organisation and wants to ensure that the language and approach is consistent. We agree that this will best embed the desired leadership culture and ensure optimal application and performance outcomes.

JMW will work with LCPL to reach an arrangement that ensures that your concerns are satisfied and your needs are met in this regard, as well as managing the integrity of JMW’s IP and agreements as a licensee of Tekniko Inc.


(To Provide) Measures Of Impact

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – MEASURING SUCCESS

JMW is committed to demonstrating a strong return on investment through its program design and delivery. We incorporate a series of assessment methods to ensure maximum impact of our programs, including:

Daily written feedback from participants at the end of each day to assess take-up of concepts and tools and to ascertain any outstanding questions. We respond to this feedback directly to the participants each day.

Participant satisfaction surveys at the end of each classroom session and at the end of the program which can be co-designed with the client. These are aggregated and discussed with the client following each session.

Interviews with managers and sponsors, as well as organisational development and HR professionals to observe indicators of change in individual and organisational performance

Tracking of successful completion of course assignments against commitments

Progress against LPI results (strengths, weaknesses and gaps) will be an additional and useful gauge of learning and impact and can be used for self assessment and discussion with program leaders and managers. JMW has also utilised on-line surveys for self assessment of both participants’ learning and the value and impact of the program. We will discuss with you the benefits of adding this additional measurement tool. JMW would also be pleased to align with LCPL in a shared commitment to the percentage of participants who rate their experience and learning in the program as Satisfied or Very Satisfied on the currently JMW completion forms.

IMPACT ON BUSINESS RESULTS

Measures of the program’s impact, individually and for the organisation, are also evidenced through the conduct and delivery of selected business project challenges (currently known as “extraordinary outcomes”) by each participant, during the course of the program. These projects represent a commitment to deliver outcomes and results that are significantly beyond historical levels of performance. The projects have several criteria:

Related to participants’ current accountabilities Beyond what would be predictable to produce in the time frame they choose Requires design and delivery of milestone results by the beginning of each class session

which will be reported on and captured during class sessions Approval/sign-off and support from the participant’s manager Measurable using normal and accepted company standards Makes a material difference to the division and/or company even if not fully delivered

All projects are reviewed by the faculty to ensure they meet the above criteria and are consistent with what the client is committed to accomplishing in the overall engagement. At the end of each session, participants are asked to complete a survey assessing the degree to which they have made progress against achieving the objectives and outcomes of the session, which is compiled and shared with the client program sponsor.

Progress and accomplishment is also measured during the coaching calls. In each call, the program leader will assist the participants in overcoming any obstacles to meeting their milestones in their projects and their development, if needed. During the last session of the program, Senior Managers are invited to attend the project presentations. Typically, each participant will present A) Project Description; B) Results Promised; C) Results actually delivered; D) Lessons learned.


ADDITIONAL APPROACHES FOR LEADING AT LEIGHTON

For the Leading at Leighton program JMW will draw on our long and varied experience with the design and implementation of extraordinary outcomes (breakthrough projects and measures of value in various configurations) both for LCPL and other clients around the world.

As discussed above, the project outcomes, both committed and delivered, are an essential measure of program success - but not the only measure.

Their primary purpose is developmental: To require a level of stretch participants wouldn’t otherwise volunteer To provide a laboratory for applying program learning in real time (on the court). As in the

scientific laboratory, learning results from both success and failure.

Their secondary purpose is to provide demonstrable evidence of business value from the investment in development.

Both are necessary, but distinct. Experience shows optimum benefit comes from maintaining this balance, without sacrificing one for the other. Early on, JMW’s focus on rigorous documentation of “payback project results” was seen by clients as overly intrusive and a detriment to broader skill development by participants. In other instances, lack of sufficient focus on metrics was cited by client sponsors as a weakness to be addressed.

As such, ultimate success measures for the program must include all dimensions: Participant assessment of value, skill acquisition/enhancement, results achieved, and

organisational/cultural impact Manager and sponsor assessment of value, skill acquisition/enhancement, results achieved,

and organisational/cultural impact Contractor (JMW) assessment of those same criteria

Experience also shows that the best mix of these elements results from close partnering with internal HR and sponsors from the outset. While JMW is willing to calculate and commit to definitive benchmarks for measurable business value, in our view, the approach is much more effective and likely to succeed if endorsed and owned by all members of LCPL’s program “design team” and relevant stakeholders to ensure the level of internal support required for success. As one example of benchmarks for business value, we could together commit to: By 30 Days Subsequent To Program Conclusion:

o Dollar value of aggregated measureable value add from participant EO’s will, at minimum, exceed total program costs

By 90 Days Subsequent To Program Conclusion: o Dollar value of aggregated measureable value add from participant EO’s will, at minimum,

exceed total program costs by 2X

By 12 Months Subsequent To Program Conclusion: o Dollar value of aggregated measureable value add from participant EO’s will, at minimum,

exceed total program costs by 3X

Such a promise would need to be accompanied by a model/formula developed by LCPL for calculating “value add” using some set of baseline criteria to measure “before” and “after,” as well as a premise that validates what participants say as the legitimate criteria for value attribution. We look forward to discussing the possibility of jointly developing and incorporating such measures into future programs.

Leighton Participants’ Comments

I have set goals way beyond what I would have ever imagined and I believe they are achievable. I now listen from a different perspective. I am more aware when I am not leading and now look inside ‘me’ when things are not as I expect them to be.

As the first such program I have undertaken in 18 years in the industry, I am now wishing I had not actively avoided such opportunities for so long. The program has opened many doors for me.

The course showed me that leadership is not about having all the answers but is about having vision, generating possibilities and empowering others to achieve.

I have attended and facilitated many leadership programs but this has been more valuable than I would have ever imagined.

I’m more direct and concise and able to better enrol people into new idea. I’m also a better listener at home, I’ve also exercised a lot more lately than previously and I am going to keep it up.

I’ve expanded my willingness to take on new challenges and improved my ability to appreciate the contribution and suggestions of others.

The session has really clarified who I need to be to make this happen and the ability to commit even when not having direct accountability for the area committed to.

I have already begun implementing new tools to be more effective, especially with problems.

I’ve gained skill in presenting a compelling future and enrolling people into the possibility.

I’m more confident, more conscious of the state of mind of others around me, more efficient and powerful in managing conversations to achieve outcomes.

I’ve got far greater confidence in my ability as a leader armed with the capabilities I have learned. I truly feel anything is possible once we have commitment.

I’ve had an amazing experience during this course that I’m sure I’ll be reflecting on it at the end of my career as something that changed my life both at work and home.

I am very aware now of my daily impact on the team of people I work with and the need to empower and set the scene.

I am more focused and productive, I am more confident, I am capable of anything

I have a greater understanding of what it is to be a leader, to paint the future and not wait for tomorrow.

I feel that I have gained significantly from attending this program. My personal and professional life has improved and new possibilities have arisen as I have transformed my behaviour. The work has only just started

What to Ask the Person in the Mirror by Robert Kaplan

Description

This session provides a significant shift in perspective with respect to how one sees one’s leadership. As one departure from many executive development approaches, we neither focus exclusively on expanding a leader’s strengths nor eliminating their weaknesses. Rather, we focus on having each individual see the limitations of both their strengths and weaknesses for themselves by looking through a particular model of identity that includes such concepts as “winning formula, compensating structure.” The module requires rigorous self-examination. Participants become adept at recognising when preferred ways of operating and long-held beliefs are an impediment to their impact as leaders. In particular, their capacity to own and be responsible for their counterproductive behaviours produces a breakthrough in authenticity. The awareness of such limits and their impact on others serves as a new baseline from which to invent an expanded possibility for themselves as leaders. These new possibilities provide a source of inspiration and fulfilment, as well as a gap for their ongoing learning, growth, and performance.
