The Imperial Institute of Leadership and Strategy (IILS), the executive education and strategic consulting arm of the Imperial Group, proudly announces a strategic partnership with Nalaka Hewamadduma, one of Sri Lanka’s most respected and globally acclaimed leadership trainers, to launch a Transformational Leadership Program designed to empower Sri Lankan corporates for exponential growth. With over two decades of international experience spanning Sri Lanka, Canada, the United States, and Africa, Nalaka brings a wealth of global insight, practical wisdom, and proven expertise in leadership development. His collaboration with IILS marks a new era for leadership education in Sri Lanka, one rooted in research, innovation, and measurable impact. The newly developed Transformational Leadership Program is benchmarked against Ivy League university models and underpinned by cutting-edge global leadership research. The program introduces a world-class, proprietary learning framework uniquely adapted for the Sri Lankan corporate context, ensuring that leaders not only learn but transform to deliver results and drive long-term organisational success. Impact and measurable results are what set this program apart from any other leadership offering in the market. IILS, as the leadership and strategy arm of the Imperial Group, builds upon the Group’s four-decade legacy of excellence, having empowered over 75,000 professionals and established itself as the nation’s most trusted name in business and CIMA education. With a mission to advance leadership excellence and strategic capability, IILS stands as the only dedicated institute for leadership development in Sri Lanka, a critical missing piece in the nation’s growth journey. Speaking on the partnership, Nalaka Hewamadduma said: “This collaboration with IILS is about creating a movement, not just another leadership program. Together, we aim to equip leaders to rise above disruption, inspire transformation, and create exponential value for their organisations and the country.” IILS Director Seroshi Nandasiri said: “Sri Lanka’s next phase of growth depends on bold, visionary, and agile leadership. Partnering with a global thought leader like Nalaka enables us to deliver world-class programs that are locally relevant and globally benchmarked.” Through this partnership, IILS reinforces its position as Sri Lanka’s leadership authority, bringing world-class knowledge, global best practices, and transformative learning experiences to the nation’s corporate landscape alongside complementary executive development, advisory, and research programs.
