Corporate Vision Improved Leadership for a Complex World Agile Plus Leadership International Ltd is the delivery firm for Complex Adaptive Leadership (Research) Ltd, or CAL, an ISO-certified global organisation famed for blending the complexity science of the modern West with the ancient wisdom of China. In doing so, the company, which has been recognised here as the Best Leadership Development Consultancy 2025, helps leaders to get better results and enhance the agility of their organisation. Nick Obolensky, the founder told us more. “Real learning, real results.” The cutting-edge, multi-award-winning services delivered by CAL in the areas of leadership development, consulting, and strategy are underpinned by a measurable ROI and a drive to deliver customised services that appeal to every business’ unique situation. With executives and organisations throughout the world today finding themselves in increasingly VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous ) times, these solutions help cut through the uncertainty and achieve real results through simple actions. Whether through organisation-wide initiatives, team or group leadership development, or even one-on-one coaching, the interactive workshops delivered by CAL have a track record of changing the mindsets of leaders. This stems from the company’s integrated and logistically easy 70-2010 approach, with 10% being workshops, 20% being peercoaching and mindful reflective practice and 70% application to the day job. . This results in clients widely reporting better, faster, and increased outcomes – all with less effort, cost, and resources than many other development programmes. And uniquely the on-line programmes get even better results than the international award-winning face-to-face programs! On the back of this, Nick told us: “Our mission is to change the world, one person and team at a time, by taking them through amazing programmes that get real, measurable, and – for some – life-changing results.” This aim is reflected through the core values at the heart of this operation: innovation, disruption, openness, and reciprocity. These not only form the basis for the programmes themselves, they also underpin the outcomes they deliver. For instance, CAL is so confident in the effectiveness of these CALAgility System® programmes that it offers a money-back guarantee in the event a 100% ROI is not achieved. Such assurance causes people to take notice, but this is just the beginning, and reinforcing the company’s standout nature is the fact that it disrupts traditional beliefs across these services. The online version of its flagship EFMD Gold Award face-to-face executive development programme reflects this, altering leadership paradigms from static to participatory. CAL’s effectiveness in delivering this EFMD Gold Award programme is best seen through its work with Nokia, where it turned the curriculum into a three-month online journey where participants would spend a few hours in groups of 24, before being split further into sub-action learning groups of six. Nokia is just one of the global brands to benefit from this approach, alongside others including Rolls-Royce, IBM, and AstraZeneca. In the cases of many of these clients, CAL scales its intervention by having company alumni interested in its approach deliver the online workshops of the programme themselves. The reasons behind this are two-fold, as this helps to reduce expenditure and increase effectiveness, given the person knows the company inside out and can therefore tailor these teachings to best suit its culture. Companies across the world have benefited from this, and the outcomes they have received demonstrates that it really does works. “The following results and testimonies speak for themselves: 90% report more empowerment; 85% better personal productivity with more time gained; 65% a better work-life balance; and 60% better team productivity and engagement.” As for how CAL ensures such results, its culture of innovation does much of the heavy lifting, whilst the sustained scientific foundation the company rests on sees it break new ground and receive acclaim for its efforts. Commenting on this, Nick explained: “We nurture this culture by always looking for new research within our speciality of complexity science as well as working with clients to ensure measurable real results with a high ROI.” ROI may be a common theme throughout this piece, but in a world where economic downturn is causing businesses to cut back – leadership coaching is often one of the first things to go, despite its array of benefits – CAL’s ability to guarantee that its clients will, at the very least, earn back everything they put into this endeavour demonstrates a capacity to help businesses of all shapes and size flourish. Ultimately, the high-impact leadership development Complex Adaptive Leadership (Research) Ltd delivers in this space can be attributed to the application of complexity science and its contrasting yet beneficial use of Chinese wisdom. The result is a combination quite unlike anything else, making the company a fitting recipient of the title of Best Leadership Development Consultancy 2025.
