T4LEADER
Your Transformation Has a Leadership Problem. We Fix It.
70% of digital transformations fail. The failure is almost never the technology. It’s the leaders who weren’t equipped for what the transformation actually demanded. T4L develops the specific human capabilities your team needs — from a 6-week sprint to a 9-month transformation programme.
Built on the LIFT Framework
Every T4L programme develops four specific capabilities that determine whether a transformation succeeds or collapses: how leaders manage themselves under pressure (Leading Self), how they make smart decisions about technology (Innovation & Technology), how they hold their teams together through change (Fostering Teams), and how they move an entire organisation without losing the people or the culture (Transforming Business).
Four domains. Twelve competencies. Four maturity levels. Pre and post 360-degree assessment. Phillips ROI methodology. Designed to give you evidence your board can act on — not just participant satisfaction scores.

The LIFT Skills Framework white paper: 35 pages of research, competency definitions, maturity models, implementation guidance, and case study evidence including a $10 million verified ROI from 200 participants
A copper mining operation in Zambia. 200 participants. $10 million in verified bottom-line savings. 14% promoted within 12 months. 100% would recommend the programme.
What This Looks Like in Practice
A copper mining operation in Zambia needed to build leadership capability across 200 managers to drive operational transformation. Six cohorts completed the LIFT-based programme. Within 12 months: $10 million in verified bottom-line savings from waste reduction and operational improvements. 14% of participants received promotions. 28 internal promotions and 11 external career moves. 100% of participants would recommend the programme to others.
6-Week Team LIFT
Journey
The fastest way to build transformation leadership capability in your team. Choose the LIFT theme that matches your biggest gap. Six weeks, one hour per week, up to 12 participants per cohort.
Performance reporting, workshops, and extended coaching — scoped in the discovery call.
3-Month Custom Journey
For organisations that need more than a sprint. Two LIFT-themed journeys run back to back, with workshops and team performance reporting between them. Up to 24 participants across two cohorts.
Best for: Organisations beginning a digital transformation who need their leadership team ready. Development finance institutions funding digital capability. HR/L&D departments building structured programmes.
6-Month Custom Journey
A sustained capability-building programme covering three to four LIFT pillars. Includes coaching for senior leaders, quarterly workshops, comprehensive capability reporting, and a dedicated T4L programme lead. Up to 48 participants across multiple cohorts.
Best for: Organisations mid-transformation where leadership capability is the bottleneck. Multi-country or multi-team transformations. Government and public sector digital mandates.
9-Month Transformation Programme
The full transformation leadership programme. All four LIFT pillars in depth. Multiple cohorts running in parallel. Executive coaching for C-suite and transformation leads. Monthly workshops. Full capability assessment framework designed with you. Dedicated programme lead. Post-programme sustainability plan.
Best for: Enterprise-scale digital transformation programmes. Organisations where the transformation is too important to fail and the leadership gap is the risk. DFIs investing in national or regional digital capability.
T4L does not promise ROI because transformation outcomes depend on too many variables outside our control. What we provide is evidence of capability development: pre and post LIFT assessments, engagement data, facilitator observations, participant self-reporting, and a measurement framework designed with you before the programme begins.
The full measurement methodology, including Phillips ROI integration, is detailed in the LIFT Framework white paper.
This is a conversation, not a pitch.
Before we propose anything, we need to understand four things: What transformation are you undertaking or preparing for? Where specifically is the leadership challenge showing up? What has your team already tried? What would success look like for you?
The next step is a genuine conversation about your transformation challenge. If T4L is the right fit, the next step will be obvious.
The technology was never the hard part. The leader was. That’s what we fix.
