One group wrapped up their journey, while two new cohorts of construction leaders launched into the programme, geared up to drive transformation and growth in their companies.
🎄 Looking back at 2023 to look forward🎄
2023 was a breakthrough year for the Innovative Future Leaders Programme - IFLP. One cohort came to an end and two more cohorts of leaders in construction took flight this year to help their companies transform and grow.
We are proud to say:
📈 15 companies in construction chose IFLP as their 2023 go-to platform to transform their organisations, leading to innovations and process improvement.
🌟 We are witnessing a surge in women joining IFLP in 2023 (30%), which signals a positive change in the sector’s diversity and leadership.
🤠On top of the regular IFLP workshops, we had 3 networking sessions organised and led by our IFLP participants. It's all about sharing experiences, supporting continuing development, and nurturing trust across our community.
👠Construction companies speak up about the benefits of IFLP for their success. 40% of companies who benefitted from IFLP once, allocate more and more leaders again to the next cohorts.
🌱 All IFLP participants confirmed the programme pushed their personal development enormously. Some shared they received a well-deserved promotion.
💼 Many IFLP participants explore and benefit from business opportunities and collaboration within the wider IFLP network, leading to their company's growth.
📅 The next IFLP cohort is launching in January 2024 (one place is still available; get in touch with William Hunter will@secbe.org.uk). And we are delighted to see enthusiastic sign-ups for the July 2024 cohort.
Positive change is happening in the sector, and we're delighted to have so many companies joining us in driving this change!
