Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
Westwood International designs and delivers leadership programming to empower individuals and organizations to bring about enduring positive change. With clientele ranging from companies and executives listed among the top Fortune 500 to boutique firms and aspiring professionals,  Westwood International has demonstrated their unique value to advancing leadership goals for individuals and organizations in a range of industries across a multinational landscape, including but not limited to health care, pharmaceuticals, law enforcement, energy, and automotive production.  A recent collaboration between Indiggo and Fortune Magazine produced a groundbreaking metric for measuring return-on-leadership, one that will have tremendous impact on the way leadership programming from conceptualization and design to delivery and evaluation. Based upon their analysis using the trademarked ROL model, seven of Westwood International’s clients are ranked among the top 30 companies based upon the return on leadership. What are the metrics included in the model and how are they predicted to perform? As with any theoretical model, there is room for development and refinement; what other factors and relationships may be operating to influence leadership outcomes that are not captured in the Indiggo model? Are there competing theories or propositions to those incorporated in the model? What will further research reveal about the next steps in the development of models for predicting and measuring return on leadership? In the highly competitive, dynamic landscape of leadership development, Westwood International aims to further develop their tools and portfolio, differentiate from competitors, offer customers a unique value proposition by developing their own model for modeling return on leadership based upon the latest research in the science of leadership and relevant disciplines.
