We work with executives who want practical skills, not motivational slogans. Our programmes are built around real decisions you face every quarter, every board meeting, every restructuring.

A small, focused team of former C-suite leaders and organisational psychologists based in Scotland.
Elite Exec Insight was founded in 2019 by two former chief operating officers who grew tired of watching talented leaders attend expensive seminars and return with nothing actionable. We built something different: training that starts with your actual organisational challenges and works backward to the skills you need.
Our facilitators have held VP, COO, and managing director roles across financial services, energy, healthcare, and technology. They bring direct experience of leading through mergers, regulatory crises, and rapid-scale growth. That first-hand knowledge shapes every exercise, case study, and feedback session we deliver.
We cap cohort sizes at twelve participants. Smaller groups mean each person receives direct coaching time, and discussions stay grounded in specific scenarios rather than abstract theory.
Programmes designed for senior leaders, delivered in formats that fit demanding schedules.
A two-day intensive where you work through five real business scenarios drawn from recent corporate events. You practise structured decision frameworks, stress-test assumptions with peers, and receive scored feedback on your reasoning quality. Participants leave with a personal decision audit they can apply to their next board paper.
Eight sessions over four months, each 90 minutes. We pair you with a coach who has led at your level in your sector. Sessions cover communication under pressure, stakeholder management, and personal leadership style. Between sessions, you complete structured reflection exercises tied to live projects in your role.
For executive teams of four to ten. Over three days, we diagnose friction points in how your team communicates, delegates, and resolves disagreement. We use recorded role-play, 360-degree input from direct reports, and facilitated conflict resolution. The output is a written team charter with specific commitments each member signs.
Designed for senior leaders preparing for their first non-executive or board appointment. Covers governance obligations, financial literacy for directors, and the shift from operational to oversight thinking. Runs as four half-day modules over six weeks, with mock board meetings facilitated by experienced chairs.
A one-day immersive exercise. We simulate a multi-stakeholder crisis, complete with media pressure, regulatory calls, and internal leaks. You lead a response team under time constraints while our facilitators introduce escalating complications. Debriefs focus on your communication clarity, delegation speed, and emotional regulation.
Monthly 90-minute virtual masterclasses on topics chosen by members, plus access to our case study library of 200+ leadership scenarios. Members also receive quarterly peer-matching for structured accountability partnerships. Annual membership costs less than a single day of most consulting firm workshops.
Four steps from first conversation to measurable leadership growth.
A 45-minute conversation where we learn about your organisation, the challenges your leaders face, and what success looks like for you. We ask pointed questions about recent decisions that went well and ones that didn't. No sales pitch during this call.
We interview key stakeholders, review existing leadership feedback data, and map the gaps between current capability and the demands of your strategy. This takes about two weeks and produces a written diagnostic report.
Using the diagnostic, we build a programme with content, exercises, and coaching arcs tailored to your team. Delivery happens at your offices, at our facility in Scotland, or in a hybrid format. Each session includes pre-work so time together is spent practising, not listening to lectures.
Three months after programme completion, we conduct follow-up interviews with participants and their direct reports. We measure behavioural change against the baseline diagnostic. You receive a detailed impact report with recommendations for continued development.
Feedback from leaders who completed our programmes.
"The crisis simulation day was uncomfortable in the best way. I discovered blind spots in how I communicate under pressure that no amount of self-reflection would have revealed. My team noticed the difference within weeks."
"We brought in Elite Exec Insight for our leadership team alignment programme. The facilitators called out dynamics we had been tiptoeing around for years. Six months later, our executive meetings run 40 minutes shorter and produce clearer outcomes."
"The one-to-one coaching gave me a structured way to think about stakeholder management that I still use daily. My coach had been a managing director in my industry, so the advice was specific, not generic. Worth every penny."
