Cranlana Colloquium
Pair timeless ethical principles with your leadership practice today, for tomorrow.
The Colloquium is Cranlana’s flagship program for senior leaders across the private, public and community sectors, inspiring transformational leadership by situating contemporary challenges within foundational principles and values. We currently offer the Colloquium in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra.
Program overview
With streams dedicated to executive-level, public sector and emerging leaders, the Colloquium is unlike any other form of leadership development. The program is not taught but evolves as a guided conversation between peers, Cranlana moderators and our curriculum.
The Colloquium is deliberately challenging.
Ideas are offered as provocations, and participants are supported to think critically about their relevance, validity and intersection with personal and organisational ethical codes, priorities and challenges.
But it is also enriching and energising.
We support the capacity of leaders to endure and persevere in the arena by situating their leadership in the context of timeless wisdom and inspirational courage across generations and diverse settings.
Cranlana’s Colloquiums are delivered in person, throughout Australia
Each Colloquium takes place over 5 days
2 Moderators

How it works
Colloquium format
The Colloquium is an immersive five-day program run by two Cranlana Moderators and featuring an expert guest speaker.
Each Colloquium is capped and run under Chatham House Rule to allow participants to rigorously explore issues within a trusted environment.
Participants will be provided with a learning pack which includes written, multimedia and audio content, used to spark dialogue and debate during the Colloquium.

“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.”
