Ireland – Education and training services – Establishment of a single-party framework for the Design and Delivery of Enterprise Ireland’s Dynamic Leadership – Roadmap to Growth Journey, and Management of Associated Leadership Supports

Enterprise Ireland uses a Competency Framework for SMEs based on on-going research of Enterprise Ireland clients learning requirements. The SME Competency Framework sets out the key capability areas required of SMEs to achieve their growth objectives for successful scaling and internationalisation and is anchored in six (6) key business areas (internally referred to as the 6 Pillars of Business Growth): - Leadership/People - Strategy - Strategic Finance - Sales/Marketing - Operations - Innovation A recent evolution to Enterprise Ireland’s Client Engagement and Experience Model has prioritised Leadership/Readiness and Strategy as key drivers for international growth, especially in our scaling clients. Based on the success/impact of the (2017-2023) Go Global 4 Growth programmes and the continued client need regarding Senior leadership team ambition and strategic growth, Enterprise Ireland is looking to continue the programme and expand support through the establishment of a new framework. A Single Party Framework will enable close partnering with a provider for both the educational services and intensive coaching required on the teams leadership journey to provide an immersive and impactful learning experience for participants. Modification of design is expected, with the biggest change to the current specification being the addition of current relevant content to the growth journey of SME’s, and the focus on Dynamic leadership, and the Emotional intelligence of the leader being a key feature. Dynamic Leadership – Roadmap to Growth programme to a leadership journey (previously referred to as Go Global 4 Growth Journey), will be co-managed by the provider, now involving: • The Dynamic Leadership – Roadmap to Growth programme, and • The Alumni Leaders post-programme network. This programme journey is expected to incorporate, for example, opportunities for: • blended or asynchronous learning, • focus on sustainability and digitalisation/AI as modern considerations for senior leaders, • further heightened focus on the emotional intelligence of the leaders, and • maximising peer to peer learning and bonding, with consideration to the post-programme alumni journey, translation of learnings into Enterprise Ireland and potential cross over points with other C-suite programmes. Ex-ante evaluation to ensure business impact and the achievement of associated learning outcomes can be better managed through a single provider.
