Building leaders who can carry the culture and lead the change.

iLX Studios partnered with Poarch to design the TRIBE Leadership Development Program — a tiered system spanning emerging leaders, evolving leaders and directors, and Division Directors.

The challenge

Poarch needed leadership capability at every level, without a generic program. Emerging leaders had to learn to lead through others; experienced leaders needed to influence across departments; Division Directors needed a forum for enterprise alignment — all while honoring Poarch’s culture and community.

The approach

iLX Studios built a five-stage capability framework — Discover, Define, Develop, Apply, Sustain — translating each leadership level into observable behaviors, then building them through cases, simulations, coaching, and cross-functional cohort projects tied to real organizational priorities.

The value created

The engagement produced a multi-level leadership architecture, change-leadership capability, and a coached bench of internal facilitators. TRIBE continues to evolve today — evidence the work became an ongoing organizational capability, not a one-time training initiative.
