The Top 100 Program is unique

The Top 100 Program from the space between Australia differs from other executive development programs in five key ways:

1.             We focus on the drawing out the potential laying dormant in the organisation’s Top 100 rather than introducing the latest management trend or fad, e.g. emotional intelligence, or focusing on just one aspect of the business, e.g. CRM.

2.            The program is pragmatic and attends to what’s happening in the workplace. We work with the unique business issues of each client and the different needs of each individual on the program. It is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

3.            The program emphasises the quality of relationships between the Top 100 and through this process helps the team to achieve excellence.

4.            We use our experience and wisdom to support the team‘s development rather than relying on external diagnostic tools or psychometric tests.

5.            The program recognises that making a significant and lasting difference requires more than quick fixes and one-off workshops. Sustained excellence requires sustained effort.

The program has four key components:

The program has four key components:

·               Identification of the top 100 and the commitment event

·               Development events (first year)

·               Sustaining events (second year)

·               Individual coaching throughout the program

Identification of the top 100 and the commitment event

This is the starting point for the program and involves the CEO in identifying the top 100 people in the organisation based on the belief that these are the people that will make the business the best in its field.

The Top 100 are then brought together at a two-day event where the question of commitment is faced. Out of this work, 10 groups of 10 people are self-selected to work together in Peak Performance Groups over the next two years.

Development events (first year)

During the first year, each group attends three two-day events in their Peak Performance Groups and one whole Top 100 event. These focus on:

·               Facing Reality

·               Dynamic Relating

·               Personal Power

·               Creative Intent

Sustaining events (second year)

In the second year there is one two-day event for each Peak Performance Group, “Living the Values” and an event for the whole Top 100, “Being Inspired and Inspiring”.

Individual coaching

Throughout the two-year period the ten people in each Peak Performance Group work in five co-coaching pairs who meet once or twice a month. This approach has the benefits of building even stronger relationships between the Top 100 and developing coaching excellence, while keeping costs down.

These coaching pairs are supported by the team of coaches from the space between on a needs basis. In addition, where it is seen to be useful, we provide coaching directly to key executives to work with any specific or ongoing needs.
