Pair timeless ethical principles with your leadership practice today, for tomorrow.

The Cranlana Colloquium is our flagship ethical leadership program. Now with specific programs designed for the unique needs of executive-level, public sector and emerging leaders, the Cranlana Colloquium is more relevant than ever to the demands of the Australian workplace.

Program overview

Pair timeless ethical principles with your leadership practice today, for tomorrow.

The Executive Colloquium is Cranlana’s flagship program for senior leaders across the private, public and community sectors. It has evolved over 30 years of dialogue and reflection between senior Australian leaders coming together to develop their capacity to lead organisations through volatility and complexity with courage and authenticity.

The Executive Colloquium is unlike any other form of leadership development.

The program is not taught but proceeds as a moderated conversation between leaders. As it unfolds, the collective wisdom of the group emerges, prompting insights about personal values and the principles which drive Australian culture, business and civic life, underpinning its legal, financial and democratic systems.

How it works

Course Structure

Each Colloquium is capped at just 20 participants, allowing participants to rigorously explore issues in a close-knit environment.

Participants are given a reading pack ahead of the course, spanning over two millennia of philosophy from both ancient and contemporary thinkers – material that is used to fuel discussion and debate during the program.

As well as special guest speakers, each Colloquium consists of discussion sessions, where an open dialogue is encouraged, curated by two expert moderators who guide and challenge the participants.

“It was, quite simply, the best professional development experience of my working life.
The beauty of the Colloquium is that it didn’t prescribe what we should think or adapt into our lives and leadership practices. Rather, it challenged us to think critically and ground our future decisions and behaviours in our own judgement of what is right, ethical and just. A life’s work.”

Simon Holloway, Director of Environment and Infrastructure, City of Stonnington
