Planned to run over four years and being delivered by Cappfinity’s talent practice to more than 400 managers, the Altitude leadership development programme forms part of a long-term initiative designed to transform the airline.
According to Cappfinity, course participants will experience an immersive digital assessment with an expert-led follow-up interview and debrief. Each leader will also receive detailed feedback providing insight into their leadership style and an analysis of how they demonstrate BA’s leadership behaviours.
As part of the programme leaders will participate in a masterclass on how to coach their teams, as well as following a bespoke development journey comprising executive coaching, interactive workshops, action learning, innovative digital content and 360 degree feedback.

Celine Floyd, talent practice director, leadership assessment at Cappfinity, said: “The flexibility of our strengths-based Altitude solution means we are able to provide a scalable, data-driven approach
