Why Attend MDA’s Change Leadership Experience?

Business transformation is not just a challenge of operations, processes, or technology—it is fundamentally a leadership challenge. Creating buy-in can be incredibly difficult. Organizations that excel at managing change successfully align their teams around new strategies in response to critical challenges or opportunities. Mastering this process fosters resilience and builds long-term competitive advantage.

In just one day, your leaders will learn proven change management theory and practice key concepts through an engaging simulation experience that successfully demonstrates how to lead human-centered change. After the ExperienceChange® simulation, participants engage in a “Work-Out” session, applying tools and lessons learned to their own real-life change challenges that they can take back to their own organizations and teams.

MDA’s Change Leadership Experience

Our Change Leadership Experience is an engaging one-day workshop designed for individuals and teams responsible for driving change. Using the ExperienceChange® simulation, participants will learn important theoretical concepts and lead a simulated organization called GlobalTech through a strategic shift, dealing with employees who are enthusiastic, on the fence, and resistant.

This innovative, interactive, and immersive change simulation features gamified elements where participants compete for the most effective change strategies in a competitive yet collaborative environment with real-time feedback.

With an 18-month timeline and a $500k budget, teams must develop a change management plan to boost buy-in from 6% to over 60%. The success of GlobalTech depends on these strategic efforts.

After the simulation, participants engage in a “Work-Out” session, applying tools and lessons learned to their own real-life change challenges that they can take back to their own organizations and teams.

Your leaders will return with MDA’s extensive digital change leadership toolkit that includes essential tools for every stage of the change process from analysis through to planning and implementation.

During and after the event, your team will connect with like-minded leaders across industries and walk away with a peer network that they can tap into long after the session.

This cohort-based development experience is specifically designed to provide all participants with the confidence, connection, and collaborative support they need to lead change more effectively.

C-suite Selection and Succession: Delivering Leadership Excellence for the Future

MDA Leadership helps CEOs articulate executive leadership needs, identify top talent, and accelerate C-suite transitions.

Senior Executive Blueprinting ™

Succession planning begins at the top. CEOs, in partnership with human resources and their boards, must think carefully about the talent they need for the future in key leadership roles. Similar to CEO Blueprinting™, MDA Leadership helps our clients articulate the executive leadership they will need to successfully navigate emerging business challenges and drive evolving strategies.

C-suite Selection and Succession

Not all C-suite hires and promotions achieve success. We help CEOs select the right executives by bringing an informed, experienced, and objective voice to the table. Based on a CEO’s criteria and an organization’s norms, we assess and analyze executive candidates to provide definitive and well-grounded promotion and hiring recommendations.

C-Suite Transitions

About 60% of executives say they were not prepared for the strategic challenges they faced in their new senior leadership roles.3 MDA Leadership accelerates effective transition into the C-suite. Through a unique discovery process, we help executives gain deep insight into what it will take to be successful given stakeholder expectations, team dynamics, and the nuances of C-suite leadership. Our seasoned coaches guide leaders in designing and executing highly relevant and engaging onboarding plans.

Board Services: Enhancing Board Effectiveness

MDA Leadership helps boards strengthen their governance roles and internal dynamics.

Board Evaluations

Most boards are required to evaluate their own performance on an annual basis—an exercise that can range from “checking the box” to an experience that truly engages board members in the right conversations. Our services include full board evaluations, individual director reviews, peer feedback, chair role transitions, and action planning.

Board and CEO Consultation

Creating strong board and CEO collaboration requires mutual trust and respect. Forging and maintaining productive relationships cannot be left to chance. MDA Leadership provides trusted advisor consultation for CEOs and their boards to foster alignment in critical areas such as decision-making, role clarity, governance, and communication.

CEO Coaching and Trusted Advisor Consultation

Two-thirds of CEOs don’t receive any outside advice on their leadership skills, and yet almost all would be receptive to suggestions from a coach.4 Since a one-size-fits-all playbook for CEOs doesn’t exist, MDA Leadership provides CEO coaching. Whether business performance is hitting the mark or not, even seasoned CEOs benefit from the safe place and counsel we provide to help them evolve their leadership.

Let’s begin a conversation.

At MDA Leadership, we know there are no one-size-fits-all solutions for every organization. We take the time to get to know your business and your leadership needs and recommend a range of options that are the best fit for your growth goals. Let's see how MDA Leadership can optimize your Talent Strategy for the Long Run®.
