Grow your Future Fit capability with Future Exchange

A capability ecosystem for boards and executives.

Future Exchange is a capability ecosystem for board and executive talent wanting to build community, grow capability, and reimagine future career pathways. Unlike other professional networks, we look beyond past experience, and as a community of practice, set our sights on future potential.

Like the challenges we face, the executive journey is no longer linear. When we began working with leaders 20 years ago, the average tenure was 8–10 years for an executive. Today, this is down to 2 – 4 across sectors. Leaders are realising they are in charge of their own career journey, and that includes owning our learning, owning our network, and owning our right to choose ways of working that suit our stage in the leadership lifecycle. Sound like you? Sounds like you need to sign up to the Future X community.

We are living through a fundamental transformation in the way we work. Once upon a time, organisations relied on a fixed set of capabilities. Today, leaders adapt to new challenges almost constantly.

“The Board and the selection committee were very pleased with the outcome and the transition from a long standing Principal to a new one occurred almost seamlessly. Since the appointment of a new Principal the School has had the need to appoint two new Deputy Principals/ Campus Heads. Based on our experience with the first assignment the School engaged Fisher Leadership to undertake both of these assignments. The School now has two excellent Deputy Principals who have the full support of the Principal and the Board.”
