Prospect Madison Information

Prospect Madison is a cross-sector leadership advisory firm aimed at enhancing collaboration across the business, government and non-profit sectors to address society’s most pressing issues. Our insights are based on years of primary research published by Harvard Business Review and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Leveraging proprietary self-assessment tools that explore the Six Traits of Cross-Sector Leadership, Prospect Madison designs and delivers leadership training and facilitation programs for institutions and individuals seeking to broaden their leadership capacity across sectors, functions and issues. Origins: Dominic Barton, Worldwide Managing Director of McKinsey & Company, and Joseph Nye, University Distinguished Service Professor of the Harvard Kennedy School, called for future leaders to be cross-sector leaders: able to engage and collaborate across the business, government and non-profit sectors. We wanted to learn more. So Nick Lovegrove and Matthew Thomas, also McKinsey consultants, conducted in-depth interviews with 150 leaders spanning various sectors and identified amongst them the Six Traits of Cross-Sector Leaders. These traits enable cross-sector leaders to address complex issues, drive innovation, and be happier individuals. To continue their work, Nick and Matthew founded Prospect Madison in 2013.
