Centre for Innovation Leadership - CIL

Activities:
Building robust organisations for the future economy
The Centre for Innovative Leadership (CIL)
was founded in 1989 by Louis van der Merwe.
CIL principals and associates currently work world-wide
within the CIL base in Europe, with many Fortune 500
companies, and NGOs in the areas of scenario based strategy, leadership & executive development and organisation renewal.
CIL's offices in Europe
(Dublin, Ireland and Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and South Africa
enable us to provide a high level of service to our clients
through our associates and alliances. Our extensive experience in
organisations in North America, Europe, The Far East and South
Africa enable us to contribute effectively across a wide range of
cultures. CIL regularly works with large organisations in the 6000
- 60,000 person range.
Engage and Empower the people in the system
CIL supports organisations in engaging and empowering their
people, through its series of integrated offerings. In these
processes clients are guided to initiate strategic change and
build sustainable infrastructure for continued renewal, creating
the environment that enhances results from teams and individuals
as well as the organisation as a whole, without reducing the
freedom, accountability for results and creativity of the
employees.
Changing behaviour requires a transformation in the way people
think and in the "structure" of the organisation and the
leadership. CIL has developed a number of specific processes
designed for large-scale organisational restructuring and
leadership development. These processes focus on the following
high leverage areas:
Scenario-based Strategy
Anticipate different likely futures to build competitive advantage.
Strategic Alignment
Integration of strategy and performance management to enable the
organisation to respond as a whole.
Systems Thinking
Uncover underlying structures behind 'events' in order to design
more effective change processes.
Leadership Development
Transform strategy, vision and knowledge into positive operational
results and return on investment
