Target group for the leadership programme

MiL Campus Week at IKEA edition is for managers at IKEA working with their own leadership based upon the values of a good leadership within IKEA.

The Programme

MiL Campus Week consists of two distinct yet integrated parts. The first part of the week is an organisation exercise held at a rapid tempo and with a high degree of activity. The second part is a deepening process in a smaller group where your personal leadership is in focus. As a participant you formulate a learning focus for the MiL Campus Week. It takes the form of an openly stated goal that you bring with you into the process.

Step 1: The Factory

"The Factory” is an organisation exercise where participants are challenged with starting, running and developing a business. The whole thing is under pressure from competitors, suppliers, customers and owners.

The Factory is based on a complex drama where the organisations are merged, new products are developed and the market responds to what is offered. In addition to deepening your understanding of, for instance, leadership and communication you also receive direct experience of how individuals from other company cultures tackle and solve problems.

Step 2: Personal Leadership

The second and lengthier part of the week is a four-day deepening of your personal leadership. This work takes place in smaller groups (10-14) with two coaches. You have your own learning focus and together with feedback on your behaviour during the organisation exercise you build a good base for deepening your understanding and insight into your personal leadership.

Action Reflection Learning is the working method during the week. This means that theory, training, tools, experiences, coaching and reflection are woven together to form the maximum learning environment for you.

Coaching leadership
You get better at coaching your colleagues, in other words releasing energy, new solutions and leadership.

Conflict management
The ability to act constructively in conflict situations and carry tough dialogues forward is increased.

Feedback
You increase your ability to give and receive feedback. On top of this you will get feedback from both the coaches and the other participants.

Reflection
You increase your ability to stop for a moment and elevate your thoughts at the same time as benefitting through reflection from your own and others’ experience. This leadership course will give you tools for how to use reflection in your everyday life, alone and during meetings, to augment the effect of what you do.

Balance in life and values base
During the week you will also work with how you can achieve a better balance in life, which apart from anything else means reflecting on your values base.

Increased energy and degree of effectiveness in your leadership
You increase awareness of your own patterns and of the type of reactions and behaviour that hold you back from achieving what you want. You will get tools and coaching for how you can work with these constructively to have more energy and be more influential in your leadership.

Tools for constructive meetings and discussions
The entire week is a training programme where you get a chance to try out different methods and tools. Many of these methods and exercises will be directly useful to you in your leadership.

Step 3: Follow-up

After six months we hold a one-day seminar for follow-up and further coaching. For those who want to take another step forward in their leadership we can offer the additional MiL Campus Week with ”Change and Resistance” as its theme.
