How amazing it is to live in an age of true innovation! By partnering closely with our clients, we help leaders recognize and leverage the strengths of their current culture to spark innovation. Through our programs, we teach leaders how to tap into those cultural touchpoints, using them to connect with and inspire their teams. Recently, Jamie N Jones, Director of Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship, led a transformative full-day session where participants explored how innovation thrives at the intersections of industries and expertise. It’s not just about the latest digital trends—it's about unlocking new ways to deliver value to customers by harnessing the power of culture. The session also highlighted that leadership plays a pivotal role in maintaining momentum toward innovation. Leaders reflected on their discovery versus delivery trends, committing to fostering a culture where experimentation and growth are encouraged. At Duke CE, we work alongside our partners to equip leaders with the tools to cultivate a culture of innovation that enhances both growth and value. #Leadership #Innovation #CultureOfInnovation #DukeCE

Cultural transformation is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today, and we had the privilege of helping a global leader navigate it. Their goal? Shift from a performance-driven, financially focused leadership style to one that’s people-centric and inclusive—while continuing to lead on critical global priorities like decarbonization. We sat down with their leadership team to co-create a suite of programs that 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. By weaving in leadership approaches tailored to their unique needs, we created experiences that built the foundation for a 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 and stronger relationships. The result? Leadership aligned to 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿, using tactics that embed the cultural shift the organization requires to succeed in today’s world.

We have wrapped up Module 2 of our Enhanced Leadership Program with 20 senior managers from Mondi Group, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper.   Hosted over three days in Cambridge, this module focused on building a strategic mindset to drive growth and create sustainable, market-leading value. Through strategic execution exercises and practical activities, participants explored how to translate strategy into action and effectively articulate strategy to their teams. The group also had insightful fireside chats with Mondi CEO Andrew King and CFO Mike Powell, applying their learnings directly to the company’s strategy.   A standout session was Duke CE’s Leading in Complexity immersion, led by a former senior MI6 agent and a top hostage negotiator. Participants practiced influencing and communication skills while navigating a complex, rapidly evolving situation.   We are delighted to be partnering with an organization that is as invested in its people as it is in its sustainable growth ambitions. Keep an eye out for more updates from this brilliant cohort when we deliver the third and final module early next year.   Want to equip your leaders for the future?
