A clear vision for what comes next 

A compelling vision for Belgravia Leisure’s next chapter followed, with a clear focus on the organisation’s four ‘Horizon One’ priorities and the key enablers that will support excellence across all four. 

Led by our Chief Support Services Officer Matt Green, each project team was given the opportunity to present to the group on their Horizon One priority, with progress celebrated across all areas and a clear pathway for success outlined.  The Four Horizon One priorities presented and discussed with our leaders are as follows: 

CX Digital Optimisation 

This priority focuses on creating a unified simple customer experience by integrating systems, improving data quality and providing a single customer view to drive smarter decisions and revenue growth. 

Team Experience 

This priority is about strengthening the employee and leader experience through new technology, improved workforce planning, leadership development and a consistent employee lifecycle. 

Contract Partner Relationships 

This priority aims to lift partner satisfaction and consistency by establishing a clear partnership framework, improving communication and embedding structured feedback into business-as-usual processes. 

Impact  

This priority is focused on defining, measuring and communicating the impact of Belgravia Leisure’s programs and services on community wellbeing. This will be accomplished through the establishment of robust measurement frameworks and independent validation.

From alignment to action 

The afternoon session of day one – led by experienced Leadership and Talent Development Professional Paul Sedgwick – challenged our leaders to examine culture, alignment and ways of working across Belgravia Leisure.  

Leaders explored what it truly means to be on the same page, how a unified organisation shows up day-to-day and the behaviours required to sustain a high performing culture. 

As the conversation deepened, the focus shifted from words to action. Leaders confronted the common gap between intent and execution, unpacking why momentum can stall and what must change in leadership behaviour to ensure follow through and accountability. 

The day concluded with an address from our Chairman Geoff Lord who provided an insightful update on Belgravia Group and shared his vision for the future.  

Turning strategy into plans 

Day two was firmly focused on execution. Through a series of interactive workshops led by the Executive Leadership Team, our leaders worked together to translate strategy into aligned business plans. These plans were then shared across the forum, surfacing common themes, dependencies and opportunities for collaboration. 

The final workshop allowed time for teams to refine and realign their plans, sharpen priorities and lock in ownership and next steps. These plans were then presented back to the group, leaving all leaders with deep insight into all team’s clear, actionable plans, as well as a shared commitment to lead execution within their teams and across the organisation. 

The forum closed with a reflection on what the teams valued from the experience, what thinking had shifted and what this means for how we lead going forward. The result was a strong sense of shared ownership and momentum as leaders return to the business.
