COSM has experienced leadership development through real-world challenges in diverse arenas, different terrains, cross-functional domains and across levels. Our core insight about leadership development is rooted in three 3Es – Experiences, Experiments and Expectations . We ensure the leverage of 3Es in every element of the learning architecture that we create for our clients. What it means is, how are the leaders learning from their experiences to experiment more and meaningfully, with their perspectives, outlook and skills to deliver expectations for the future. Have these experiences been codified into ‘Rules of Thumb’.
Are these rules of thumb based on a narrow set of exposure or a broad range of experiences? Have these experiences been periodically tested for their relevance through a ‘Shelf-life Filter’? Are we reframing these experiences in the light of new knowledge and situational awareness? Are we seeking experiences that test our past knowledge?

Development of a competency is a journey of ‘Macro Skill’ manifested through a series of structurally designed ‘Micro Skills’. Let us understand this concept through how swimming is learnt. How a swimming instructor on day one, initiates a non-swimmer into swimming, by first making him/her walk around the swimming pool, feel the water near the edge, move the feet by holding the edge of the swimming pool, followed by swimming with the help of a float, then the movement of hand; breathing exercise and so on and so forth.
Similarly, the complex leadership competencies can be instilled in an incremental manner, one after the other. By adopting such an approach, the learner is insulated from the overwhelming impact of a bigger goal and is kept enthused in progressing one immediate learning milestone at a time. It is this duo of art and science that COSM has learnt, mastered and successfully delivered to the organizations. This is what sets us apart in the competitive aspect of leadership development.

We facilitate leadership development through various modalities:

Every intervention is customized as per the needs of the client. The case studies, simulations and content is carefully researched and curated as per the client’s context.
