A defining characteristic of our service offering is a commitment to maintaining global best practice through partnering with international leaders in the coaching and leadership development arena.

SMG maintains a substantial library of evidence-based leadership materials and models, sourced from thought leaders such as The Center for Creative Leadership, with whom we have a strong affiliation.

CCL has been ranked by the 'Financial Times' as among the world's Top 10 overall providers of executive education. Established in 1970, CCL helps clients worldwide cultivate creative leadership through an array of programs, products and services.

CCL has three campuses in the US, a European campus based in Brussels and an Asia-Pacific campus based in Singapore.

Currently, a number of our coach facilitators are accredited in CCL’s suite of 360 products. Along with this relationship, we have associations with other global thought leaders in executive development, including:

Symmetra Diversity Consulting, the Centre for Coaching - Graduate School of Business (University of Cape Town, South Africa) and US-based Guttman Development Strategies.

These partnerships enable SMG to offer clients state-of-the art programs and interventions to meet specific leadership and organisational development needs.
