21 Day Sprint EMPOWER 21 – The Information Leadership Journey
The information leadership journey can be challenging — but it doesn’t have to be.
From working with thousands of information leaders, privacy professionals, and records managers globally, we’ve gained practical insight into organisations of different sizes, sectors, and maturity levels. We’re excited to share that insight with you — so you can bypass years of trial and error and move forward with clarity and confidence.
You’re on the information leadership journey.
EMPOWER 21 helps you understand why now is the most important time to lead information well — and how regulation, AI, Microsoft 365, and organisational expectations are reshaping what it means to be an information leader today.
In EMPOWER 21, you’ll gain clarity on:
- The trends and pressures shaping modern information leadership
- The tools, resources, and capabilities available to you right now
- How these trends affect your organisation — and what that means for your role, influence, and next move
Get supported with EMPOWER
Prove Value. Increase Influence.
Information leaders don’t struggle because they lack knowledge — they struggle because their value isn’t always visible or understood.
EMPOWER 21 helps you reposition information management from a compliance function to a strategic enabler — so you can influence decisions, secure buy in, and lead with confidence.
During the 21 days, you’ll learn:
- How to clearly articulate the value you bring through your role, remit, and expertise
- How to connect information work to organisational priorities and outcomes
- How to increase your influence so change happens faster — and sticks
Environment Dictates Performance.
Ideas are worthless without implementation.
As an information leader, you’re often expected to drive change without the right environment, authority, or support. EMPOWER 21 helps you step back, reset, and create the conditions that make progress possible.
In this part of the 21‑day sprint, you’ll learn:
- Why information leaders often struggle to turn best practice into action
- What gets in the way of consistent delivery — and how to remove those barriers
- How to create an environment that normalises accountability, momentum, and high performance
What You’ll Walk Away With After 21 Days
By the end of EMPOWER 21, you won’t just have more knowledge — you’ll have:
- Greater clarity about your role and where to focus first
- Stronger confidence in communicating the value of information management
- Practical tools and language you can immediately use at work
- A clearer view of whether the full EMPOWER Programme is the right next step for you
EMPOWER 21 isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things, in the right order, with the right support.
Past. Present. Future.
Information leadership doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
Where you’ve come from, where you are now, and where you’re trying to get to all matter.
EMPOWER 21 helps you pause long enough to make sense of that journey — so you can stop reacting and start leading with intent.

Talk it through — pressure‑free
If you’d like to explore your situation in more detail, you can book a confidential, no‑pressure conversation with one of our EMPOWER coaches.
This isn’t a sales call. It’s a focused, practical discussion designed to help information leaders make sense of where they are — and what might help next.
In this conversation, we’ll look at:
Where you’ve come from
Your information leadership journey so far, the experience you already bring, and what’s often underestimated or overlooked.
Where you are now
The challenges, responsibilities, and risks you’re carrying today — and what’s currently feeling unclear or exposed.
Where support could help
Your priorities over the coming months, what “safe and defensible” could look like in practice, and whether structured support would be useful.
You’ll leave with greater clarity, practical next steps, and space to decide what — if anything — you want to do next.

What customers said
“Through the EMPOWER Accelerator, I gained the confidence and practical tools I needed to strengthen information governance across the organisation.
Responsible for data protection across multiple sites and service areas, I was working with Information Asset Owners who cared deeply about data but often lacked consistent support and clarity. EMPOWER helped me shift conversations from compliance alone to shared responsibility.
As a result, engagement from IAOs increased, ownership became more proactive, and annual data risk reviews and DPIAs were clearer and more confident. I also gained stronger credibility when influencing others.
EMPOWER has enabled me to clearly articulate the value of information governance, empower colleagues at all levels, and embed ownership at the point data is used — supporting safer services and stronger organisational trust.”
