HFL is a specialist executive development firm. We assist organisations in identifying and developing their leadership and expertship culture and capability.

• Leadership - how organisations select and develop the right people leaders to help them execute their strategy;

• Expertship - how organisations select and develop their high-value individual technical contributors to help them build and retain competitive advantage.

In the leadership space, our vision is to help every leader lead better.

In the expertship space, our vision to to help every expert reach their full value-creating potential.

How does HFL seek to make a difference?

We are a results-based business. If you partner with HFL to secure increased capability and productivity from your important team members, then our starting point is to ask: what difference needs to be made, why, and how will we measure whether or not the initiative has been successful?

Secondly, we focus on delivering executive development initiatives that:

• Directly link to your organisation’s vision, values, and strategy;

• Produce measurable changes in executive execution (whether leaders or experts), that elevate organisational results;

• Successfully land back in the organisation, setting up participants to ‘walk-out-working’;

• Involve senior leadership and senior experts in championing the participants’ journeys; and

• Provide sustainable change and ongoing learning (we don’t do one off events that are quickly forgotten).

GOING GLOBAL

DO WE HAVE A POINT OF DIFFERENCE?

This is for our clients to decide, not us. Here is what they tell us we do differently:

• Our innovation - we are creatively restless and are constantly seeking better ways to deliver an effective participant learning experience; we have demonstrably done this with Fastlead (a new way of delivering front-line leadership development via small group coaching), and Expertunity (our subsidiary which delivers life-changing programs and publications for high-value technical experts).

• Our consistent quality - we spend a great deal of time ensuring that our own team, and the consultant network we leverage, are highly qualified, adhere to our values at all times, and put participants first; many of our initiatives receive outstanding net promoter scores;

• Our outstanding program management team - several clients tells us that the way in which we operate a highly experienced and efficient program management team, enabling us to do all the heavy administrative lifting, while our clients can focus on internal stakeholder engagement and quality, is a key reason they choose to work with HFL;

• We care about our clients’ investments - we recognise that our clients have many choices, and funds for learning initiatives are hard won and need to work to be sustainable; we look after your money as if it were out own.

All of these things are easy to say on a website. We would encourage you to engage with us. Come meet our biggest advocates - the clients we serve (many of whom are very happy to talk to peers about their work with us), and the participants we help grow.
