Course overview
The Executive Colloquium is Cranlana’s flagship program for senior leaders across the private, public and community sectors. Evolved over 30 years of dialogue and reflection among senior Australian leaders, it develops their capacity to lead organisations through volatility and complexity with courage and authenticity.
The program is not taught but proceeds as a moderated conversation in which the group’s collective wisdom emerges. Using the Cranlana Model of peer-based learning and shared enquiry, participants reflect on and challenge one another and themselves. Big ideas are offered as provocations and participants are supported to think critically about their relevance to personal and organisational ethical codes, values, priorities and challenges. Themes include values and purpose, fairness in work and society, moral agency and courage, integrity and stewardship and the meaning and practice of ethical leadership.
Learning tools include guided readings, digital materials, practical tools, thought experiments, role plays, case studies and guest presenters. Participants re-evaluate their leadership practice within an ethical context and take away frameworks for decision-making in the face of ethical complexity, alongside tools to normalise ethical issues and role-model integrity.
Testimonials:
The Colloquium is a rare opportunity to genuinely consider different ways of understanding our roles as moral agents. Time to reflect deeply on why and how we participate in making the world around us, and find opportunities to do more to align our lives to our values. As leaders, we are uniquely obliged to be aware and thoughtful of our impact and strive to be better. I feel better equipped to take this challenge on - Suzie Fry
An ethical leader is at pains to question how they live with the contradictions and tensions of leading in a modern organisation and how to do that in an ethically rigorous way. It’s about building a better society - Jerome Reid
The beauty for me of the Colloquium is that it didn’t prescribe what we should think or believe or adapt into our lives and leadership practices. Rather, it challenged us to think deeply and critically and ground our future decisions and behaviours in our own judgement of what is right, ethical and just in today’s world. A life’s work - Simon Holloway
