Jumbo Interactive

Leadership Training
Chat to us about a bespoke program

Woven into the culture of Jumbo Interactive is a deep sense of building for the future. It makes sense that any Leadership Program initiative needed to carry this same legacy.

Through the complementary Level Up and Next Level programs, emerging and experienced leaders developed greater self-awareness, coaching capability, strategic thinking, and confidence through practical workshops, one-on-one coaching, and a deeper awareness of personal leadership styles.

The result? Better leaders with a pathway to drive their own continuous growth.

The Challenge

Creating bespoke, tailored leadership development that ‘looks and feels’ like us makes all the difference.

The opportunity to partner with ambitious organisations who truly want to drive and embed real change is what we get out of bed for. Jumbo Interactive have a remarkable focus on people and a strong internal strength around development pathways. So when they wanted to create a two-tiered approach to practical leadership development we were in. Partnering closely with the (brilliant) People & Culture team allowed us to design and develop both the ‘look and feel’ of the leadership development initiatives as well as tailoring the content to be relevant, future-focused and deeply human.

It’s this combination of work that allows Pragmatic Thinking to bring together the latest scientific research in psychology and leadership, knowing that with a strong partnership like this the learning and the application will continue after we leave the building. True change requires energy, ambition, and drive. This initiative had the perfect combination.

The Solution

A two-tier leadership experience combining practical workshops, one-on-one coaching, and a cohesive learning ecosystem.

Pragmatic Thinking designed and delivered two complementary leadership programs: Level Up for emerging leaders and Next Level for program alumni. Level Up was a five-month program covering areas of self leadership, leading high performance hybrid teams, feedback conversations and psychological safety, and coaching. In addition to this, Next Level cohorts went through a four month program which consisted of regular one-on-one coaching with our expert facilitators, as well as workshops and supporting tools covering capabilities of strategic thinking and decision making.

The Outcome

Embedding a culture of continuous leadership development across every stage of the leadership journey.

Rather than treating leadership development as a one-time event, we established a scalable framework for continuous growth. Emerging leaders gained practical tools to lead with confidence, while experienced leaders received personalised coaching and advanced development to deepen their impact – reinforcing a culture of ongoing learning across the organisation.

This program took home the winning trophy for AITD’s Best Leadership Program and Learn X’s Best Talent Development (Learning Impact), as well as becoming a finalist in AHRI’s Best Leadership Development Strategy in 2024. What’s more impressive is that 25% of the cohort progressed in their development pathways after the completion of the programs.

Great to be part of this! Huge shoutout for all the work that went into creating such an amazing leadership program and for caring so much about the experience and development of our people.
