Hack
The hack is your sprint's core — a concrete leadership challenge everyone must execute. One sprint, one hack.
Workbook
Everything you need for a sprint: recaps, step-by-step hack guides, sparring prep, and coaching frameworks.
Sparring
3–4 leaders meet to reflect on their hack progress, share real experiences, and challenge each other.
Coaching
Led by an experienced coach, these sessions deepen the sparring insights. Groups join prepared.
AI Coach
Available 24/7, your AI coach answers questions, supports sparring, gives feedback, and acts as knowledge hub.
Hack
The "hack", your challenge and the heart of the sprint loop
After the workshop (and after each virtual session), every participant receives a multi-page PDF workbook.
Inside you'll find:
-
A concise, multimedia summary of the workshop, with instructional videos that make it easy to apply what you've learned in daily practice
-
Step-by-step guidance for building your personal "hack," running peer sparring sessions, and preparing for peer group coaching
-
Support for peer collaboration and lasting transfer
Think of it as your "Swiss army knife" for bringing the new leadership culture to life — a practical, versatile tool that turns modern leadership principles into action.

OUR ROOTS
The Leadership Sprint - an ICG Venture.
The Leadership Sprint is built on the foundation of ICG — Integrated Consulting Group, one of Europe's leading change management consulting firms with over 40 years of experience in strategy, leadership, business and organizational development.
ICG's work with organizations across industries revealed a recurring gap: leaders understood what good leadership looked like but struggled to translate that understanding into daily behavior. Traditional programs weren't closing the gap.
The Leadership Sprint was created to solve exactly this — combining ICG's consulting depth with a structured, execution-focused methodology built for measurable behavior change.
And whenever it is helpful, we include our colleagues of our parent company from ICG.
Our story
From frustration to a format that works
For years, we ran traditional leadership programs...
Multi-day seminars, extensive off-sites, beautifully designed workbooks. Leaders left inspired. And within weeks, most had reverted to their old patterns.
The problem wasn't the content. It wasn't the participants. It was the format. Leadership doesn't change in a conference room. It changes in the daily moments where a leader has to act — give tough feedback, let go of control, make a decision without all the data, or stay calm when a project is falling apart.
Most leaders don't fail because they lack knowledge. They fail in moments of truth — critical instances where they must act outside their comfort zone.
So we redesigned everything. We stripped away the classroom excess and built a format that puts leaders directly into their growth zone — in their actual work, with their actual teams, on their actual challenges. We gave them one concrete hack to execute over 8 weeks, surrounded them with peer support and coaching, and measured the results.
The impact was immediate and measurable. Leaders changed their behavior, teams noticed, and organizations saw the difference in engagement scores, decision quality, and retention. The Leadership Sprint was born.

Too many topics
Most organizations know exactly where they want to be. Yet year after year, the gap between their current leadership reality and their desired state doesn't close.
Good intentions aren't a strategy.
