The Vimy Ridge Leadership Experience transforms your organization through the defining moment of Canadian military history—when meticulous preparation, innovative tactics, and unified execution converged to achieve what had seemed impossible. Battlefield Leadership facilitators leverage the extraordinary victory of April 9-12, 1917, to demonstrate how organizations can orchestrate breakthrough performance when conventional approaches have repeatedly failed. This immersive program examines how the Canadian Corps, fighting together for the first time, captured a heavily fortified position that had resisted French and British assaults for over two years.
Your team will discover how Generals Julian Byng and Arthur Currie revolutionized battlefield leadership by empowering every soldier with complete situational awareness—distributing 40,000 maps when such information was typically restricted to senior officers—and conducting unprecedented rehearsals using full-scale terrain models. The program reveals how synchronized artillery, infantry, and engineering operations, combined with detailed planning and continuous innovation, enabled four divisions to achieve in four days what others could not accomplish in two years. This experience will equip your leaders to orchestrate complex initiatives, synchronize cross-functional teams, and execute flawlessly under pressure while fostering the trust and preparation that distinguish high-performing organizations.
