Customized to meet your specific needs

FIT FOR OUR NEW NORMAL

Flexibly delivered either in-person, virtually or both.

The Immersion Lab has increasingly recognized the high-impact its In-Person-only operating model has had on the globe’s carbon footprint. COVID-19 accelerated the path to virtual at speed and our new virtual Immersion operating model is socially-distanced and much greener:

It is no longer necessary for participants to be physically present in the same location.
We have much wider access to an extensive pool of Learning Exchange Partners across the globe, independent of their location.
It provides built in contingency – we have the ability to build in-person Immersions and flexibly switch to virtual if a situation calls for it.

FIT FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

Standalone or embedded.

Immersions can be designed as standalone or integrated into other program or initiatives. Some of the more typical uses of immersion include:

Leadership Development programs
Intact or functional team summits
Market opportunity assessments
Collaborative learning with external organizations

FIT FOR YOUR OUTCOMES

Applicable to every organizational, business, or leadership topic.

Immersions are an immediate inspiration for new ideas on diverse and important topics:

Organizational issues such as Digital Transformation, Culture of Innovation, Future of the Workplace, Sustainability, etc.
Business issues such as functional transformation (Supply Chain, HR, Finance), Customer Centricity, Digital Literacy, Agile, etc.
Leadership capability building such as Purpose, Entrepreneurial Leaders, Scenario Thinking, etc.
It is particularly powerful in elevating Action Learning Projects or business challenge outcomes.

FIT FOR YOUR FORMAT + TIMELINE

Highly flexible for your realities

Immersions are flexibly designed around your budget, timeline, locations, and the delivery partners of your choice.

Inspire Change

We’ve tackled transformation of every kind in our immersions! Be it functional (supply chain of the future; finance; HR); digital; culture; workplace of the future; learning organization and others, our clients have been inspired by the lessons from transformation trailblazers in a diverse set of industries.

And then of course Immersion is a great unlock of inspiration and insight on the all-important leadership topics of purpose, leading effective teams, delivering high-performance, collaboration, balancing short- and long-term priorities, and many others.

What our clients say

I have used the Immersion Lab for several years now as part of our boutique executive development program. In particular the Custom Immersion offering is a transformational experience for our executives over and over again. The Immersion Lab provides customised and adaptive in-market experiences for our leaders all over the globe and the inside-looking-out experience develops a step change in our executives and is a critical component of our overall program. Glynnis and her team are also great fun to work with, they are dynamic, flexible, and thought leaders in their space.

We recognize the value of learning from the external environment for our talents in Novartis. Through such immersions, we see concepts and business practices that were discussed in the classroom come alive. Through the experiences designed by the Immersion Lab, our talents were able to learn from a variety of industries and draw parallels to their own business challenges. Regardless of the location that we picked, whether in Asia or Latin America, the quality and the execution of the experiences have been consistently outstanding.

Over the course of ten years I have had the pleasure of working with the Immersion Lab several times. On each occasion they delivered incredible value. The experiences they created, without fail, taught leaders how to truly become more externally and market focused. They showed, firsthand, what is required to create innovative and open cultures in today’s business environment. Most importantly, the Immersion Lab created experiences that delivered powerful and lasting learning for the leaders who were part of the experience.

The Immersion Lab has been a wonderful partner throughout our redesign of our approach to executive development. Unafraid to take risks, learn, and adjust, we have created a truly powerful and differentiated development experience which has borne out tangible results. Glynnis and her team are as adept at strategy development as they are at flawless execution, where nothing gets lost in between. This is invaluable.
