the elm summit is the spark
the elm accelerator is the fire

If the Summit showed you what’s possible, the Accelerator gives you 12 months to make it real, for your career, and for your company. It’s a leadership program built for exactly where you sit: inside a multinational, operating in Australia, navigating the space between global direction and local delivery.

This isn’t a general leadership program. It isn’t your company’s internal curriculum. It’s built for the distinct challenge of leading in a subsidiary and designed to accelerate you in six ways that compound over time.

six ways to move you forward

The ELM accelerator is an annual hybrid program, beginning with the ELM Summit and running through to April 2027, structured around six interconnected pillars.

knowledge

Monthly live experiences, in person and virtually, keep your thinking sharp and your practice current across the full year.

 

confidence

On-demand access to over 50 world-class thought leaders, so you can go deep on what matters most to you, on your schedule.

 

connection

Build relationships with true peers and C-suite leaders outside your company, the network that internal programs can't give you.

 

readiness

Develop the capability, credibility, and confidence to be ready for your next role, not just performing well in your current one.

 

profile

Raise your visibility, and your company's, with decision-makers from organisations beyond your own. The right room changes careers.

 

awareness

Sharpen your understanding of how the world is changing — and build the foresight to lead into what comes next, not just what's in front of you now.

 

this program is for

ambitious leaders stepping into the next generation of leadership 

Structured for working leaders. Designed to build depth, not just fill a schedule.
