Transformational Leadership Programme

Improving public health and wellbeing in Lambeth and Southwark, by breaking the link between race and poor health outcomes.

What is the Transformational Leadership Programme?

The Transformational Leadership Programme is built around a two-strand approach: organisational capacity building and individual leadership development around diversity, equity and inclusion issues. The course culminates in a board-level placement between both strands of the programme. 

The programme is available to organisations whose work impacts the lives of Lambeth and Southwark residents, and includes Institute of Leadership and Management-accredited training for Black leaders with a connection to these areas.

FAQs: Capacity building for organisations

What does the programme involve?

Through a DEI baseline report, training and one-to-one coaching, your organisation will be supported to achieve your diversity, equity and inclusion priorities and develop a three-year plan.

Can you tell me more about the baseline report?

Inclusive Boards will produce a baseline report to enable your organisation to measure distance travelled, and allow Do It Now Now to tailor their training and support. The report will involve a staff survey and interviews with key stakeholders.

What is the time commitment?

The organisational strand of the programme is split into five stages, some of which run concurrently. On average, we anticipate a commitment of 6-8 hours per month.

Is there a fee?

Organisations are asked to make a contribution of £2,000. This encompasses the report process, training, support with a DEI action plan, and the addition of a co-opted member to your board.

What people say

  • Client Testimonial

    Inclusive Boards were excellent at putting together a diverse and highly qualified longlist of candidates. The communication was consistent and the service delivered was extremely personable. They went above and beyond, participating in a webinar held for potential candidates alongside myself, Dave Thompson, Vice-Chair, NPCC and Andy Marsh CEO, College of Policing.

  • Client Testimonial

    I am pleased with the high calibre of appointments to the board of the Office for Legal Complaints. Alison, Dale and Martin bring a wide range of experience and expertise that will further bolster the OLC as it implements its plans to transform the service it offers to complainants and the legal services profession.

  • Client Testimonial

    Inclusive Boards supported our efforts to increase diversity on our board. Given the work we do, this was important. Their candidate care and communication was outstanding and they actively supported us throughout the executive search process. This made things easier for us and we were able to successfully appoint a candidate, meeting our need for a more diverse board.
