To navigate our highly uncertain world, we need a new kind of conversation.
Boma offers transformational learning experiences for leaders and changemakers, so that, in a world of dramatic and continuous change, we can be more intentional, intelligent and courageous about the future.
We offer global online cohort-based courses and world-class professional development programmes for current and emerging executives and leaders. We also run the Crusaders Leadership Programme™ for coaches and leaders of teams.
“The future isn’t some static thing out there, waiting to happen to us. The future is created by us, by the aggregation of the choices we make every day. It’s time to stop watching the movie and start starring in it. Forget preparing for the future. We need to create it.”
— Kaila Colbin; Founder and CEO, Boma
Our vision is a world of intentional, intelligent and courageous leaders.
Imagine a world in which bold leaders build bold cultures, with teams that live and breathe their values, have the courage of their convictions, and are unafraid to pivot, adapt and grow. In which difficult and courageous conversations are the norm and we don’t carry around the unsaid. In which we can bring our full selves to the workplace.
Imagine a world in which the magic of exponential technology is harnessed in the service of humanity.
Where we combine the wisdom of the past with the possibility of the future.
Imagine a world in which business is a driver of equity and wellbeing. Of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. In which we are truly prepared to tackle wicked problems, and overcome the great challenges we face.
At Boma, we've imagined it. And we're ready to build it.

LEAD THE WAY.
We carefully curate topics and programs to support courageous leadership.
At Boma, we operate at the nexus of “what you need to know” — the external trends and disruptions shaping our future — and “who you need to be” — how we need to show up as leaders to effectively confront the challenges ahead.

LEAD THE WAY.
Boma's way of working is built on three pillars:
Our core principles
Our theory of change
Our behavioural aspirations
Our Core Principles
The Boma Principles define our brand promise: the standard to which we hold ourselves accountable for every product we deliver.
1. Embrace complexity
Today’s leaders must be skilled at navigating a complex world with no simple answers.
2. Be robust and credible
We don’t offer empty, feel-good slogans. Our work is evidence-based and defensible.
3. Question dogma
We embrace new evidence and are willing to challenge our own status quo.
4. Be inclusive
We actively challenge our own blind spots to expand our world view.
5. Think big picture
We work at the level of strategy, principles, philosophy: how to create the world we want.
6. Embrace global and local
We honour global expertise as well as deep local wisdom and autonomy.
7. Work towards outcomes
Our events and programs are designed to generate tangible results.
LEAD THE WAY.
Our Theory of Change
The Boma Theory of Change defines our process: the journey our customers go on with us.
Curiosity
Curiosity is our starting point.
Curiosity is what allows us to learn and grow. It is what allows us to challenge our preconceptions and overcome our limitations. It is what allows us to expand our perspective and contemplate disruption with excitement rather than fear.
At Boma, our first and forever job is to awaken curiosity in our community.
Conversation
Once we’ve awakened curiosity, it’s time to dig in.
We engage with our community and clients not only through expert presenters but also through dialogue, embracing questions like:
How has what I’ve heard shifted my perspective?
How does this apply to my organisation? To me as a leader?
What’s the practical application?
What assumptions have I been making that need to be revisited?
At Boma, we create the space for the kind of robust and courageous conversation that is all too rare and yet abundantly necessary to tackle the challenges we face.
Convictions
Through curiosity and conversation, we guide our customers to identify and articulate their convictions.
What are they wanting to accomplish and why? How are they measuring success? What are they willing to do to get there? What are they willing to let go of?
Ultimately, our aim is to get to the heart of the matter: What is truly important to them?
Courage
Convictions are nothing without the courage to act on them.
We equip our customers with the tools to build cultures of courage. To dream big, to lead, and to hold themselves to account against their purpose.
To foster brave, innovative teams aligned to a common vision.
To tackle tough conversations and rise from setbacks.
And to create thriving cultures fit for a future that looks nothing like the past.
Tihei mauri ora koutou mā. I wholeheartedly support Boma's efforts to help us be more forward-thinking and dynamic.”
