Short and Custom Programs
A series of shorter programs, each with a tailored focus to help organisations sharpen their ethical practice.
To help organisations sharpen their ethical practice we offer a series of shorter programs, each with a tailored focus – including an Executive Ethics program for senior leaders, custom programs for in-house leadership teams or for specific industry sectors, and graduate programs.
Custom-designed programs - online and in person.
Now is the time to invest in your teams' ability to lead ethically.
Overview
The ethical challenges that arise in different industries can vary dramatically. It’s vital that any given leadership team has a shared understanding of ethical frameworks when it comes to making significant decisions.
To meet this need, Cralana Centre offers a number of short programs that focus on the particular ethical challenges that arise within various industry sectors – as well as the option to create specially customised programs to fit the requirements of an individual organisation
Our short programs include Executive Ethics, an online and in person interactive masterclass in practical ethical leadership. Pragmatic, rigorous and outcome-focused, it provides practical tools for senior leaders to foster their personal and organisational ethics, and to prepare for unforeseen ethical challenges.
For organisations that face more specific ethical challenges, Cranlana Centre also creates online and in person custom courses to address the particular needs of certain sectors or industries, as well as short interactive presentations suitable for conferences or retreats. These custom programs are designed to get teams thinking and working together through the concerns they’re likely to encounter – to make sure they develop the skills to effectively tackle ethical issues.
Cranlana has delivered customised ethics programs for Graduates for more than a decade. In the course of their careers, your graduates will inevitably face challenging situations that are characterised by complexity and ambiguity. They will be required to balance different interests and weigh up reasonable but rival views about the right course of action. Ensure your graduates begin their leadership journey well-equipped to meet such leadership challenges, so they can make the right decisions at the right time, in the right way and for the right reasons. These programs are also offered online and in person.
Executive Ethics
This program is a masterclass in practical ethical leadership – covering a whole gamut of approaches to nurturing better ethical behaviour in organisations.
Featuring in-depth discussions on key philosophical frameworks and practical skill development around ethical workplace leadership, it’s designed to help you put your organisation on the right ethical track.
Pragmatic, rigorous and outcome-focused, it gives participants the tools to prepare for unforeseen ethical challenges, have challenging conversations around ethical issues, avoid workplace ‘ethical fade’, and to recognise and rework the organisational structures that can create ethical tensions.
Created for senior leaders, this program is delivered online and face-to-face.
In Person
- Two days
- Evening welcome event to help participants get acquainted
- Prestigious guest speaker discussing the practicalities of ethical corporate leadership.
Online
- 8 x 90 minute online sessions over four days, with an additional 90 minute online follow up session to consolidate and reflect on the learnings post-completion of the program.
These are immersive live conversations with two expert moderators, held under the Chatham House Rule, and a cohort of no more than 20 other experienced leaders. Sessions are scheduled in 90-minute blocks in the morning and afternoon, to give you time during the day to deal with other priorities and counter ‘Zoom-fatigue’.
This online iteration of the two-day face-to-face program retains the essence of the Cranlana approach - shared inquiry and moderated discussion – and delivers the same outcomes.
Program Outcomes
- Discover practical tools for ethical leadership

Graduate Programs
Cranlana has delivered customised ethics programs for Graduates for more than a decade. Our partners include state and federal government departments and agencies, such as the Reserve Bank of Australia, ASIC, APRA and Treasury.
Why focus on Graduates? In the course of their careers, your graduates will inevitably face challenging situations that are characterised by complexity and ambiguity. They will be required to balance different interests and weigh up reasonable but rival views about the right course of action. Ensure your graduates begin their leadership journey well-equipped to meet such leadership challenges, so they can make the right decisions at the right time, in the right way and for the right reasons.
We equip young future leaders to become ethical leaders by:
- introducing key ethical frameworks and moral principles,
- reviewing their core values and accountabilities,
- strengthening critical thinking skills
- identifying conflicts of interest and how to resolve them
- applying the learning to practical contemporary scenarios
How can we work with you?
We can work with you in person or online.
We can design a stand-alone program to suit the specific needs of your department, or we can develop an ethical leadership component that dovetails into your existing graduate development program.
Group size:
To maximise engagement and interaction we recommend a maximum group size of 20 participants. Larger cohorts can be split into separate groups.
Online sessions are capped at 2 hours per session, ideally spaced out over a number of days to avoid screen fatigue.
Face-to-face sessions are immersive and intensive. To reap the greatest benefits from working with Cranlana we encourage participants to to disengage from other work distractions as much as possible.

The Cranlana method: Cranlana uses philosophical texts as a springboard for discussion. Our approach is one of shared-inquiry and peer-learning guided by expert facilitators, with an emphasis on engagement and group interaction, rather than direct instruction. Insights gained through this process are more lasting than and have greater long-term impact. Cranlana’s method also deepens bonds and builds trust between participants.
