Top leaders. Better future.
DDI UK is an international leadership consulting firm that for 50 years has helped companies hire, promote and develop exceptional leaders. Our commitment: support you so that you can benefit from every level of leadership, from new managers to senior executives.
Our passion is to help decision-makers surpass themselves and achieve results that will have a positive impact on their future, but also on the future of the company, their family and their community. We intervene at all levels of the organisation: we can help you detect the emergence of new leadership talents or set up your future CEO.

As your company competes in a fast-changing economy, leaders who rapidly develop new skills are in the best position to help your company win. But you can’t leave developing your leaders to chance.
That’s why we created a leadership development subscription. With our subscription, you’ll have proven content at your fingertips to help your leaders quickly solve their toughest leadership development challenges. And it’s all for one price.
Leadership 480
We failed to create a 25th hour in the day. Instead, we created Leadership 480.
Based on our work with millions of leaders for five decades, we came to one simple conclusion: Time is one of the greatest barriers to great leadership.
We can change that. Leadership 480 is DDI’s strategic framework to help you hire, promote, and develop exceptional leaders who maximize their effectiveness in every minute, every day, and every month of their careers. And it all revolves around one powerful number: 480.
