Global leadership consultancy

Democratising leadership

Our purpose at LIW is to democratise leadership – putting leadership in the hands of everyone, for good.  Back in 2016 we realised that, while successful, our consulting and services business was never going to reach everyone, however hard we worked.

So in 2016, we set ourselves the goal of impacting 1 million people by the end of 2020 – a goal which we knew we could not achieve through our core business. The intent of this goal was to force us to disrupt ourselves by harnessing technology to become something no one had heard of: a Leadership Technology company. That means we now offer leadership products and services, enhanced by technology to reach a broader audience.

Here’s how we count the people impacted:

1. Services: we count the number of participants on our programs and apply a multiple to include the people they impact.  We’ve researched what that multiple is for our programs and the average is an astonishing 22 people. While we are delighted with that, we chose instead to use the most common number cited which is 10. To be extra conservative we then take half of that number.

1. Products: we simply count every person who uses one of our products, including all team members for products used by teams like Squadify.
