    Challenges We Solve

    We help organisations adopt, adapt and accelerate

    Each area of practice builds the human skills behind one or more of the three conditions. The tags on each card show which.

    Our Areas of Practice

    Leadership Development

    Leaders decide whether people take on the change and whether work is redesigned around agents. Our programmes build the influence, judgement and empathy that make change hold.

    Team Building & Team Performance

    Teams need enough trust to test ideas, check work and admit mistakes. Our team and management workshops build that trust, clear accountability and shared ways of working.

    Customer Experience

    We have shaped customer experience for McDonald's, the Olympics, Wimbledon and the Commonwealth Games. As AI handles routine service, people decide where human contact matters most.

    Human Skills & Professional Development

    As AI takes on routine tasks, communication, creativity and judgement matter more. Our workshops build these skills so people can question AI output and turn new ideas into practice.

    Why Growth Performance

    What makes us different

    Over a decade of leadership work, now focused on helping organisations adopt, adapt and accelerate with AI. Six things shape how we work.

    Change that sticks

    We design around how adults learn and change, so new habits last well beyond the workshop.

    Human skills, built deliberately

    We build the judgement, empathy and honesty that AI adoption depends on, through deliberate practice on real work.

    Behavioural science in practice

    We combine behavioural science research with direct experience of how AI is changing work, and design for what changes behaviour.

    One size fits no-one

    Every programme starts from your culture, your readiness for AI and the work your people do every day.

    Senior-level partnership

    You work directly with senior consultants who understand your business and stay with the work from start to finish.

    Proven with the best

    We have worked with McDonald's, the Olympics, global fintech firms and the NHS, across every sector.

    How do you prove the ROI of leadership development?

    Most organisations invest in leadership development without a framework for measuring impact. The Growth Performance L&D ROI Framework gives you five research-backed methods for demonstrating business value — used by L&D Directors, HR leaders, and People teams across the UK.

    • Five evidence-based measurement frameworks
    • How to build a pre/post assessment approach
    • Communicating ROI to boards and senior stakeholders
    • Common measurement pitfalls and how to avoid them

    Our Methodology

    How we work

    Six steps, from finding the real opportunity to support after the programme ends.

    01

    Strategy

    We find the big opportunity and check which condition needs most work: Adoption, Adaptation or Acceleration.

    02

    Design

    We design for practice on real work, so new routines stick after the workshop ends.

    03

    Development

    We build materials quickly, from eLearning to VR simulations, in the format that suits your people.

    04

    Programme Delivery

    Experienced facilitators challenge people to test their assumptions and try new ways of working.

    05

    Evaluation

    We agree measures at the start, then track how quickly new ways of working take hold.

    06

    Support

    Follow-up support helps every participant keep new habits going after the programme ends.

    Our DNA

    The values that set us apart

    We founded Growth Performance with a vision to be the best loved learning and development provider in the industry.

    Innovation

    Our team brings together experienced facilitators, coaches, learning designers and digital developers.

    Delivery Excellence

    Common Questions

    Leadership Training & Executive 360 Coaching, FAQs

    Answers to the most common questions about our leadership development and Executive 360 Coaching services.

    What leadership development programmes does Growth Performance offer?

    Bespoke leadership, management, team and coaching programmes, plus The Human Advantage Programme for AI leadership. Each one strengthens at least one of three conditions: Adoption, Adaptation and Acceleration.

    What do Adoption, Adaptation and Acceleration mean?

    Adoption is whether people take on the change and make AI part of their work. Adaptation is whether people can direct, combine and check AI agents in real work. Acceleration is whether the organisation is ready as change keeps speeding up.

    Where are your leadership training courses delivered?

    We are based in London and deliver leadership training across the UK and globally. Programmes run in person, virtually or blended. We have delivered across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America.

    What makes Growth Performance different from other leadership development companies?

    We combine behavioural science with direct experience of how AI is changing work. Every programme is bespoke and linked to business outcomes. We have delivered 500+ programmes and workshops for organisations including McDonald's, the Olympic Games and Wimbledon.

    How long does a leadership development programme typically last?

    Length depends on your goals. After a first conversation we recommend a structure, from a single workshop to a longer programme, and set it out in a proposal.

    Do you offer team building workshops?

    Yes. Our team workshops build trust, psychological safety, clear accountability and shared ways of working. Activities are designed so new habits carry back into everyday work.
