Leadership development has a packaging problem. Most solutions on the market tie great content to rigid delivery platforms and per‑user contracts that balloon as your business grows.
Lead‑Ology turns that model on its head.
We’ve taken 20 years of evidence‑based leadership practice, distilled it into concise, video‑rich learning modules, wrapped each module in a beautifully interactive SCORM shell, and made the entire library available under a single, fixed‑fee licence. No user caps, no hidden extras, just content you can drop straight into your own learning management system (LMS) and brand as your own.
Why We Built Lead‑Ology
In growing organisations, managers sit at the fulcrum of performance and culture, yet they’re often the last group to get development. Traditional classroom programmes are slow to roll out, pricey to maintain and impossible to update at the speed of change. Meanwhile, generic “off‑the‑shelf” virtual delivery rarely hits the mark, with low attendance rates. We created lead‑ology to give L&D teams a modern alternative: impact-focussed, modular leadership content that comes ready to deploy.
Three Tiers, One Clear Pathway
Lead‑ology is organised into three curated tracks that mirror the arc of a manager’s career:
First‑Line Manager (18 modules) – Foundational modules that help new managers and supervisors lead themselves and small teams. Topics include delegation, giving feedback, one‑to‑ones, communication and time management.
Mid‑Manager (14 modules) – For experienced leaders who must translate strategy into execution. Modules cover strategic problem‑solving, data‑driven decision‑making, cross‑functional collaboration, coaching for performance and change readiness.
Senior Manager (10 modules) – Tailored to leaders shaping direction and culture at scale. Expect deep dives into organisational design, commercial storytelling, stakeholder alignment, resilience under pressure and leading innovation.
Learners can follow the track sequentially or pick the topics that solve an immediate challenge—total flexibility for you and them.
What’s Inside a Lead‑Ology Module?
Every module has been engineered for maximum engagement and zero LMS friction:
Asset | How it’s delivered | Why it matters |
Avatar‑led video lessons | High‑definition AI avatar built with latest technology presents key concepts. | Human‑feel video grabs attention while avatars let us refresh scripts overnight and localise into 175 languages. |
Interactive activities | Drag‑and‑drops, scenario branching, knowledge checks and reflection prompts built in our SCORM engine. | Turns passive viewing into active practice, boosting knowledge retention. |
Facilitated workbook (PDF & fillable) | Exercises mirror on‑screen scenarios so learners can apply ideas to their real team. | Supports blended learning or manager‑as‑coach conversations. |
Module description doc | Plain‑language summary with learning outcomes, run time and tips to position the module internally. | Saves you hours of curating course catalogues. |
High‑resolution thumbnail | Ready‑to‑upload image file in 16:9 and 1:1 ratios. | Looks polished in any LMS or intranet search result. |
All assets come in both SCORM 1.2 and 2004 versions. Import, assign, launch - done.
Design Choices That Set Us Apart
Real‑world relevance – Content is built from thousands of manager pain points collected through interviews, poll data and social‑listening over 20 years, so scenarios feel recognisable on day one.
Minimal cognitive load – We chunk lessons into bite‑size segments, apply dual‑coding theory (text + visuals) and use retrieval practice to cement recall.
Fully brandable – Swap thumbnails, rename modules and embed your material in your own platforms; lead‑ology becomes part of your organisation, not yet another vendor experience.
The Economics of Unlimited Learning
Budgets shouldn’t determine who gets to grow. Instead of charging per learner, we license the entire library to your organisation for a fixed annual fee. Whether you have 120 managers or 12,000, your cost stays exactly the same. Scale up onboarding, run global cohorts, or launch a company‑wide leadership reboot - no incremental invoices, ever.
Built for Busy L&D Teams
We know your to‑do list is vast, so we made onboarding friction‑free:
Download your SCORM files – You’ll receive a secure portal with all modules plus future updates.
Upload to your LMS – Drag, drop and assign. Lead‑ology plays nicely with every major platform (Cornerstone, SuccessFactors, LearnUpon, Docebo, 360Learning, Moodle and more).
Promote internally – Use our ready‑made comms kit: email copy, poster templates and intranet banners.
Measure with your tools – Track completions and time‑on‑task in your existing analytics stack. Keep data exactly where you need it.
Total set‑up time? Clients tell us it’s less than an afternoon.
What About Coaching, Data & the Future?
We believe in product roadmaps you can trust. Here’s what’s next:
Lead‑Ology Pro – An optional upgrade coming in 2026 that layers conversational AI coaching onto every module. The coach will prompt reflection, simulate stakeholder conversations and nudge learners to apply skills over 30‑day sprints.
Language Localisation – Every video script and interaction can be auto‑translated into 175 languages.
The Insight Exchange – A community forum (beta) where clients share custom workbook tweaks and success stories, accelerating peer‑to‑peer learning across industries.
Other '-ologies' – Keep an eye out for more content libraries including compliance and skills based categories, as well as coach-ology...
