Future London Leaders

Sponsored by Lovell, the Future London Leaders programme is exclusive to Future of London members. It has been designed to identify and nurture the career development of London’s most promising regeneration, housing and economic development practitioners.

Since its inception in April 2010, over 40 candidates have progressed through the programme in three rounds. The fourth round began in October 2012, and the fifth round will begin on 29 January 2013.

The programme aims to:

Develop candidates’ network within the London regeneration context and their exposure to senior professionals
Engender a good understanding of the multidisciplinary aspects of regeneration
Develop candidates’ skills, experience and confidence
Encourage awareness of strengths and areas for development
Encourage active career development planning

Key elements of the programme include:

Mentoring sessions: Each candidate is supported by a senior mentor for the duration of the programme, ensuring an ongoing focus on their development.

Leadership skills training: The programme will consist of a number of development sessions through the year focused on building leadership skills and acquiring sector knowledge. This portion of the programme is run in partnership with Miffa Salter and Andrena Cumella of Urbancanda.

Site visits: Participants will engage in site visits to significant development sites in London including presentations by the project team from both the private and public sector perspectives.

Policy seminars: Participants will attend a series of round table workshops led by experts, and get involved in Future of London’s wider policy programmes
