What we do
The Merryck Faculty work with cohorts of leaders across organisations from ExCo to ExCo-3, aligned to programmes for succession planning, diversity and inclusion, or transformation projects. By bringing leaders together in a cohort-based learning environment you build company-wide relationships and translate individual capabilities and direct experiences into an enterprise-aware, pragmatic ability to lead and execute through change.
Approach
In-depth discovery with key stakeholders, sponsors and participants that creates a bespoke programme aligned to your business objectives. Programmes combine group,1:1 coaching and external speakers with a practical and business focused agenda ensuring alignment to your real world context. The coaching thread running through enables profound individual and group behavioural shifts and the feedback loop throughout ensures constant iteration in line with key themes and learnings.
Hear about cohort experiences
“Merryck have been working with our Executive and extended senior leadership group for 18 months during a period of substantial leadership transition for us. We have benefitted significantly from their considered and impactful individual mentoring and group interventions. Merryck collaborated with us to understand our needs and help expand both our thinking and approach. Whether initially working with us during the period of uncertainty and ambiguity or during the latter stages where the changes had been effected and the priority was building alignment and momentum around a change agenda. Merryck supported us throughout with tools, methodologies and first hand business experience which has strengthened our own leadership effectiveness and enabled us to stay focused on both the performance of the business and more effectively leading the organisation through change.”

“We worked with Merryck while bringing new leadership and extended leadership teams together for a number of workshops over a 12 month period. The Merryck team worked closely to help us clarify and deliver against our desired outcomes, and the sessions enabled us to significantly increase our trust and collaboration, while building a vision which has resonated strongly with our wider organisation and internal stakeholders. Feedback from participants was very positive, our team really connected with the practical business and tech experience which Merryck brought to the table, the facilitation style (a mix of guidance and challenge), and the element of fun – including a few memorable icebreakers which will be recounted for years to come!”
