Who we are
About us
At Forward Institute we believe leaders are the world’s most powerful force for change.
We work with CEO’s, Founders and senior leaders to help them build innovative and impactful organisations.
Our clients come to us because they recognise that the old rules of leadership no longer apply and they need new answers. So we design and deliver breakthrough interventions that help leaders transform at pace, by building the mindsets and practices to move their organisation forward.
We partner at the intersection of business, government and society with organisations like easyJet, Uber, Virgin, Nest and Barclays, as well as the British Army, Foreign Office, UNICEF and Bank of England. This network of uncommon connections and perspectives radically enhances the nature and impact of our strategic consulting and leadership development work.
Forward Institute changes the way leaders apply their agency and lead change in their organisation.
We don’t just prepare leaders to navigate the future, we equip them to create it.
Change leadership, change everything.
Our purpose
We support leaders to shape organisations that accelerate the shift to a future in which people and planet thrive. Our purpose is to:
DEVELOP LEADERS
Leadership matters, so we work to develop leaders with the courage and skills to use their power to advance the transition to a better world.
SUPPORT CHANGE
A just, regenerative world needs organisations to operate in a profoundly different way. We support leaders – and communities of leaders – to transform their organisations and the systems they’re part of.
BUILD THE MOVEMENT
Over the coming decades and across the world, we believe a new, more responsible leadership will take root. But the pace of change is slow – we’re working to speed it up.
Our team
We work with a world-class team of academics, educators, facilitators and community leaders alongside our growing and active Fellowship.
Our values
Our core values are more than just words – they're the heartbeat of our organisation. They shape our culture, guide our decisions and define the way we interact with our partners and each other.
Our impact
We accelerate deep change – from personal change to systemic change across teams and organisations.
