Level-Up Leadership Bootcamp

Introduction:

Together with our North American partner Wes Adams we developed a leadership development program.

GeoStructures and ASAP Group, part of AGH, two dynamic organizations poised for rapid growth, recognized the need to invest in their leadership to navigate upcoming challenges and capitalize on opportunities. They partnered to deliver the "Level Up Leadership Bootcamp," an intensive program designed to equip their leaders with essential skills and foster collaboration between the two companies. This case study outlines the program's delivery, results, and next steps.
