Social leadership learning: effecting behaviour change, at scale
Corporate learning is a big investment, and a huge global industry: in 2016 it was estimated US$360 billion was spent on employee learning. Yet despite the significant outlays involved, corporate learning and leadership development in particular, is one of the least well understood areas of HR in terms of its impact and return on investment.
After decades of leadership development modelled on higher education, frustrated executives and HR professionals are seeking a new way forward. Maximus has been working with leading Australian organisations on a new, innovative approach to compliment the current model: social leadership learning.

Time to rethink traditional learning and development

How moments that matter connect with customers
The importance of special moments in our lives is the clue: memorable moments connect with customers. It looks simple, but it requires genuine heart.
