BUSINESS INSPIRED MILITARY LEADERS 

BeddownLDR's purpose is to share business insights from the most forward-thinking corporations in order to stimulate conversation, ideation and collaboration that drives greater effectiveness and impact of military leaders in their current and future roles

ABOUT

ACCELERATING CHANGE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE

Over the past 5 years, much has changed in corporate America.

To meet the demands of a highly ambigous, volatile and rapidly-evolving business landscape, high-performing organizations have innovated fast. They have changed the way people think, work, and the way they inspire, engage and motivate their teams.

For military leaders needing to “accelerate change” and adapt to new theatres, understanding the latest developments on the ‘outside’ is an opportunity to learn and evolve. An opportunity to understand how leading corporations are able to succeed in the face of highly ambiguous and uncertain situations, explore human performance through a different lens, and discover key concepts that can make them more effective in their role.

BeddownLDR’s mission is to share the latest insights from the outside that help military leaders be more successful in their roles, now and into the future.

ADAPTING TO DYNAMIC NEW THEATRES

1. The US military has evolved over the past 250 years to meet national security objectives via air, sea and land combat

2. The character of warfare is changing: the threat now comes as much from being out-thought, as out-fought
 

4. By leveraging human capital, their largest asset, corporations have learned how to rapidly adapt, innovate fast, and win.

3. The best corporations have learned how to succeed in the face of constantly-changing ‘threats’ like these.

CURRICULUM

LEADERSHIP CURRICULUM

BeddownLDR has developed a highly innovative curriculum based on modern learning principles which is designed to create a visceral, emotional connection and reaction to the key topics. By building understanding, embracing different perspectives and capturing the power of personal connection, we set a new standard for impactful military learning. We currently have two main programs:

LEADER PROGRAM

We work with senior military leaders across all branches of the military to understand how the highest performing companies think, operate and deliver outstanding business performance in highly ambiguous situations.

EMPLOYER PROGRAM

We partner with corporate HR/Talent teams to understand how to most effectively find, select and then onboard transitioning military leaders into senior corporate leadership roles within their organization.

“The service must… reward and retain those Airmen who foster the personal attributes necessary for success in the challenging future ahead”.
