Where talent agendas move from intent to action
Talent Agenda Institutional Programmes are commissioned programmes delivered for organisations where talent strategy is complex, visible, and consequential. They are designed for situations where defining a talent agenda is not enough - and where credibility, alignment, and execution matter as much as intent.
These programmes operate at institutional or sector level, often across multiple markets, stakeholders, or leadership groups.

Built for organisations with mandate
Institutional Programmes are developed for organisations with a clear remit and a need for rigour.
This includes industry bodies, employer associations, development finance institutions, governments, public institutions, and large multi-country employers.
In each case, the work is shaped by institutional context: governance structures, leadership dynamics, external scrutiny, and the level of reputational exposure attached to the agenda.
A structured approach, not a single intervention
Each Institutional Programme is governed and structured from the outset.
Programmes are typically delivered in phases, combining senior leadership engagement, agenda definition, original insight, and disciplined execution over time.
The emphasis is on coherence and durability - ensuring that what is articulated can be carried through, owned, and acted on.
What the work addresses
Talent Agenda Institutional Programmes are used when organisations need to bring clarity to a complex talent agenda — and move it forward with confidence.
The work begins by helping leadership teams surface what truly matters, establish shared priorities, and give structure to conversations that are often diffuse or contested. From there, programmes support the development of a clear narrative around talent, leadership, and workforce strategy, and the conditions required to act on it.
Each programme is shaped around mandate, context, and ambition, with scope and sequencing agreed upfront. The emphasis is on progress that can be sustained, rather than statements of intent.
The work is informed by the wider Talent Agenda Series platform. Insight from the owner-led Core Series provides regional context and senior perspective, while each programme remains institution-specific and governed accordingly. This allows organisations to move with confidence, without importing generic frameworks or off-the-shelf solutions.
