2025 Group Leadership Dev

Proposals are requested for the design and facilitation of a structured, outcome-based leadership development program centered on group, project-based learning for emerging leaders. The program should support cross-functional collaboration across departments and align with Dalton Utilities¿ goals for organizational growth, leadership readiness, and succession planning.
The program is expected to run over a period of 18 to 24 months and should be designed to complement participants¿ existing job responsibilities while encouraging teamwork across the Utility. Each cohort will include approximately 12¿15 participants identified as potential emerging leaders.
The program should include a combination of monthly group learning sessions (delivered through a mix of in-person and virtual formats). Full-day, in-person workshops focused on active, outcome-based learning and real-time group work on live projects that benefit the Utility
Over the course of the program, the provider will collaborate with participants and Utility leadership to identify and structure a minimum of four group projects. These projects should address real organizational needs and give participants the opportunity to plan, test, and present new initiatives with executive-level impact. Proposals should clearly outline the project planning process and how these projects will be integrated across the program timeline.
The selected provider will work closely with the executive team to align development activities with organizational priorities, ensure group projects are reasonable and meaningful, and provide frameworks for measuring growth, collaboration, and readiness for future leadership roles.
