Small Prize for Big Effort.

Mapping your department’s stocks, flows and feedback loops is not easy. You need to think through your system. How it really works.

But once you visualise it, you start seeing the vicious cycles and broken balancing loops. Then you start to see your actual constraints.

That’s not enough. You need to look for the weak signals. Build scenarios. Pick your highest leverage point.

Participants are finalising their SCQA-optimised proposals.

Advanced Strategic Practices | 26-27 May 2026 | Jamaica - London Institute of Business and Technology

29/05/2026

80 Senior Managers.
12 Organisations.
2 days of intensive training.

Over two days in Jamaica, senior leaders from across the public and private sectors came together for our Advanced Strategic Practices Executive Programme.

In their words:
"Eye-opening." "Impactful and relevant." "Enriching and insightful."
"Greater clarity." "Genuinely challenging."

One participant put it best, the programme was "relevant and necessary for all Senior Managers, whether in public or the private sector."

Thank you to every organisation that invested in their leaders.

Systems mapped and vicious cycles drawn but what about the future?

Seventy years of Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce — and what a night to toast it. 🥂

On Friday evening, we joined members, business leaders, and friends from across the Isle of Man at Peel Cathedral for the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce Annual Gala Dinner — this year marking the Chamber's 70th anniversary. As a Gold member, LIBT was honoured to sponsor the welcome drinks reception that opened the evening.

It was a brilliant night — full of the kind of conversations that remind you just how much the Chamber has meant to the island's business community for seven decades, and how much there still is to build together.

Congratulations to the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce on a remarkable milestone. Here's to the next chapter.

Our CEO, Sesiri Pathirane, has opened the floor at Launchpad.

Launchpad is LIBT's co-working community and startup hub on the Isle of Man, and Sesiri is asking the community for honest feedback on everything we've built so far. The space, the membership tiers, the events programme, the member portal, the discussion forum, and how we help members connect.

If you've used Launchpad in any form, your input shapes what comes next.

Read the full post and reply on the Launchpad discussion forum: https://www.discoverlaunchpad.com/discussions/askthecommunity/we-want-your-honest-feedback-help-us-build-a-better-launchpad

We've built a lot in a short time. The space, the memberships, the events, the portal, the forum, the newsletter.

The best calls on what to build next aren't ours to make alone.

So Sesiri Pathirane, CEO of London Institute of Business & Technology / Launchpad, has opened the floor. If you've used Launchpad, tell him what we've got right and what we haven't.

He's reading every reply on the Launchpad discussion forum: https://www.discoverlaunchpad.com/discussions/askthecommunity/we-want-your-honest-feedback-help-us-build-a-better-launchpad

💛 Hearing from our students always makes our day!

Asad from Portugal completed our Cybersecurity programme and we couldn't be prouder of how far he's come. From network security to incident response and governance, he built real, practical skills while balancing work and study. That's exactly what LIBT is here for. 🙌

If you're looking to start or level up your career in IT & Cybersecurity, we'd love to be part of your journey.
