The Institute of Leadership is investing in a major digital transformation, with a clear goal: to better support our members and provide leadership learning and development experiences that genuinely improve performance.
As part of this transformation, we began working with digital learning experts Embed and Netex in May 2025. Together, we are reviewing and enhancing all our leadership content to ensure it meets the real needs of today’s leaders and supports practical, lasting development.
Our ambition is to curate the very best content for our leadership community – content that is high quality, engaging, accessible and supports a range of learning styles. Most importantly, it’s designed to help leaders apply what they learn, build confidence and deliver real impact in their roles.
To bring learning to life, we’re incorporating real-world case studies and first-hand experiences from leaders across sectors. Video content, podcasts and practical scenarios will complement written materials, giving members flexible, relatable ways to engage with key concepts and ideas. This blended approach ensures learning is not only accessible but deeply embedded, supporting long-term behavioural change
Both Embed and Netex bring extensive experience in digital learning platforms and content design. Their expertise is helping us develop a learning offer that’s clear, purposeful and focused on what matters most: helping leaders grow and succeed.
Rod Jones, IoL learning quality manager, said: “We’re building a learning architecture that really works for leaders – something that feels relevant, flexible, and genuinely helps people grow. We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on.”
We aim to unveil the enhanced learning content by the end of 2025. A special launch event is planned, so keep an eye out for details.
