KPMG Emerging Leaders Program unlocks the power to inspire, influence and create lasting impact

The VUCA world requires leaders who show courage in daily conversations and leaders who remain constructive and look for opportunities. Increased awareness of personal values, talents and ambition will lead to these desired behaviours. Better Minds has been designing and facilitating the Emerging Leader Programme for KPMG for many years.

The Emerging Leader Program

The Emerging Leader Program (ELP) is a talent development program of KPMG that aims to accelerate development by providing additional challenges (and learning opportunities) and prepares top talent for a leadership position in the organization. The ELP furthermore accelerates (senior) managers to build and maintain trustful and sustainable relationships with clients and colleagues.

The programme was designed for:

  • Top talented Managers & Sr. Managers
  • A diverse and international group
  • Audit/assurance, advisory and business services combined

Building Blocks of the Programme Solution

The customized two year leadership program uses the following approach:

Combining learning experiences
Offering a mix of different learning elements in order to maximize the learning capacity: deep dives, business projects, skill training, mentoring, inspirational speakers.

Future leadership skills
Focusing on the most important skills for leaders to be more effective at this moment and in the future in their career and life.

Integrated in daily work and our strategy winning in the new reality
Involving board members, peers and direct reports in the program to ensure a direct implementation of the lessons learned.

Results & Impact:

  • A very positive and consistent average of an 8.5 score on all tailored modules
  • Stronger personal leadership awareness; knowing clearly the role of the individual in the bigger KPMG organisation.
  • Stronger leadership confidence, with (Sr.) managers reporting higher ability to create open team environments.
  • Sustained impact, with ongoing leadership coaching and reinforcement sessions embedded into the company’s L&D strategy.

"The real value of the KPMG ELP program is that our outstanding Managers and Sr. Managers are invited to discover their true leadership potential. By leading with authenticity and aligning with their core values, they unlock the power to inspire, influence, and create a lasting impact on their teams, their clients and their communities."
