Transform your leadership by bridging the gap between global theory and direct experience.
Whilst our books inspire through story, our expeditions allow you to walk the terrain and experience these wise systems first-hand.
We invite leaders of organisations, of government, of countries, as well as academics, to join us on expeditions to where some of these processes began.

There’s nothing quite like experiencing Ubuntu for yourself and exploring the roots of our Kgotla® Intervention process direct from the tribespeople of Botswana.
Our Leadership Expeditions will take you on an inspirational and awakening journey with other leaders, where you’ll actively participate in your own authentic leKgotla, experience different types of leadership, and even meet leaders who were involved in the peaceful transformation of South-Africa.
By journeying to the cradle of humankind, you will come to a deeper level of understanding of humanity, organisation, society and therefore leadership. You’ll be inspired by the natural organisation and power of nature, the history and importance of storytelling and the tribal rituals that are catalysts for commitment and change.
Executives who want to step outside their own organisation and reflect with peers facing similar challenges.
Leaders who value exchanging ideas with people from different industries and organisational contexts.
Participants exploring questions about leadership, culture, transformation, or long-term direction.

KLM has been a Kgotla client since 2003. In 2014, they introduced the Kgotla Workplace at Schiphol — bringing scattered departments into one hub built on openness, where leaders decide in dialogue with their people.
Rabobank Utrecht's 550 employees faced a decade of radical change in pensions and financial responsibility. Kgotla reached every board member, director, manager and employee in 7 days, driving decisions ahead of a restructuring affecting 110 local banks.
RESULTS
Workers at a Rio Tinto mine in South Africa had grown unsettled by rumours of closure and safety concerns. Kgotla ran a 10-day, operations-wide dialogue reaching more than 3,800 employees — surfacing 520 ideas and turning them into 36 concrete decisions.
RESULTS
SUCCESS STORIES
“The Kgotla® process gave us clarity about the future, better understanding about our company and a calmness about the destiny of everyone involved.”
“Kgotla interventions prepared the employees for large scale change and changing the banking game. At the same time many decisions were taken based on the wisdom of the 550 employees.”
“The Kgotla is a perfect way to bridge large differences of opinion and listen to everyone’s ideas.”
“A working environment which represents who we are and where we are.”
Let’s set up a call to discuss where you’d like to take your company and how we can help you get there.
