You may need this when:
appointing or promoting managers to bigger roles
assigning managers to business critical projects or secondments
moving high potentials through a ’fast track’ programme
driving through major change
Xancam’s approach
xcelerate™ is a series of intensive sessions that can be conducted either:
individually between the consultant and the transitioning person in a series of five one-to-one meetings
with groups of individuals who are experiencing a particular change (for instance in company ownership or strategy) in a series of workshops
Stage 1 - Getting Ready
Understanding the person’s readiness for transition
arrow
Stage 2 - Understanding the Territory
Developing understanding of the new role and how
to operate effectively in it
arrow
Stage 3 - Uncovering Sticking Points
Identifying the edge of the individual's comfort zone
& developing more productive ways of thinking
arrow
Stage 4 - Leading through Ambiguity
Developing the ability to provide leadership in
highly ambiguous situations
arrow
Stage 5 - Building the Know-How
Consolidating the learning and applying
results with confidence

At each stage, we use highly targeted techniques of accelerated learning to help people adjust more quickly to the challenges and demands of bigger and more ambiguous roles, or different and more ambiguous situations.
The approach is not to be confused with ‘executive coaching’. xcelerate™ uses very specific and well-researched techniques to identify the edge of the individual’s comfort zone and to develop their capabilities to that edge.

spacer Top Tips
If you’re in a hole, stop digging!
what worked well before can work against you in a new role. xcelerate™ helps managers to let go of unhelpful approaches and develop more useful ones
Higher level roles need higher order thinking
when roles become bigger and/or more ambiguous, very different ways of thinking are required – xcelerate™ helps managers develop their thinking along these lines
What is expected of me?
it’s a very simple question, but one that many managers omit to ask when their role or situation changes
Push your comfort zone
people who adapt most quickly are naturally inquisitive and comfortable handling uncertainty – they push themselves beyond their comfort zone and learn from the experience
Be organised
people who adapt successfully are good at organising themselves so that they get the most out of their new experiences
You cannot reduce complexity!
ambiguity and complexity are the stuff of leadership and come increasingly to the fore as your responsibilities expand. The trick is to manage, not reduce complexity
