A new era of women’s development is almost here

The iconic programme that transformed generations is entering its next chapter

For over 35 years, the Springboard Women’s Development Programme has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of women around the world. Its impact is so far-reaching that you probably know someone – a colleague, a friend, a friend of a friend, who still talks about their Springboard moment. Now, this iconic programme has been thoughtfully redeveloped to meet the realities, challenges and opportunities of today’s world of work. A new chapter is about to begin.

What’s Coming?

Fresh content. Real relevance. Same Springboard impact.

For decades, Springboard has been one of the most recognised and influential women’s development programmes – shaping confidence, clarity and connection for hundreds of thousands of women across the world. Its legacy is longstanding, but the next chapter is something entirely new.

Thoughtfully redeveloped and expertly crafted using research, insight and the lived experiences of women today, the refreshed programme reflects the realities of modern workplaces and home lives – while staying true to the heart of what has always made Springboard powerful.

We’re not sharing everything just yet, but here’s a glimpse of what’s ahead:

• Fresh, updated themes shaped by the world women are navigating today
• A more inclusive, intersectional design that reflects real lived experiences
• Brand-new tools and resources to support confidence, influence and wellbeing
• Modernised content with improved flow, energy and relevance
• Enhanced learning experiences that deepen reflection, insight and action
• And much, much more…

Why This Matters Now

Women’s development isn’t a nice-to-have – it’s a strategic advantage.

The business case for investing in women’s growth has never been stronger:

• Organisations with gender-diverse teams are 21% more likely to outperform financially (McKinsey – Diversity Wins Research).
• Women remain underrepresented in senior roles – despite equal ambition.
• Women are 1.5x more likely to leave an organisation that lacks inclusive culture or development pathways (Women in the Workplace study)
• The gender pay gap remains at 13.1% (UK Office for National Statistics).
• Women are 7x more likely to step out of work due to caregiving responsibilities (UK Office for National Statistics).

The redeveloped Springboard Programme responds to these realities not by “fixing” women, but by building on what has always made Springboard powerful. Informed by client feedback, participant insights and the evolving world of work, the updated programme enhances the experience with fresh themes, deeper reflection and more inclusive, relevant content.

The programme offers women the space, tools and confidence to grow authentically – while enabling organisations to strengthen their cultures, develop diverse talent and demonstrate a genuine commitment to equity. This is holistic women’s development, evolved for today and ready for tomorrow.
