Thursday, 26th June 2025, 9:00 AM

The Johnstown Estate, The Johnstown Estate, Johnstown, Enfield, Co. Meath, A83 V070, Ireland

Masterclass 

This interactive masterclass will focus on empowering leaders to align organizational culture, leadership, and talent development with their business strategy. By identifying key strategic roles and fostering core competencies, participants will gain actionable insights to drive sustainable growth and competitive advantage.

The sessions will highlight the importance of identifying strategic jobs—those pivotal roles where exceptional leadership and talent drive organizational performance and competitive differentiation. They will also explore how core competencies are influenced not only by strategy but also by the unique context in which the company operates and its business model.

Participants will have the option to stay overnight at Johnstown Estate and attend the company visit to Breedon Cement in nearby Kinnegad the following morning.
