Maestro-level leaders

The Third Turn of a Leader.

Learning to lead toward future, sustained organizational value, and legacy.

After many years of serving leaders, teams, and organizations, DGI will conclude operations effective June 30, 2026. We are deeply grateful for the relationships, learning, and impact we have shared together.

Many of the consultants who served through DGI continue to provide consulting, coaching, facilitation, and advisory services through their independent practices. If you are looking for a specific consultant, please contact them directly or visit Maestro Suite Advisors for an updated suite of services.

Much of the IP and Process Consulting approach developed within Design Group International shifts to Maestro Suite Advisors (formerly Teall Vincent Enterprises)

With gratitude for the journey.

What is Maestro-level leaders?

A four-year peer-based leadership journey to explore, map, and implement what succession, sustained organizational success, and legacy look like in each leader’s unique life and organizational context.

Who is Maestro-level leaders for?

Organizational leaders/founders who know it’s time to not only think about but actually plan for succession, and who want to approach What’s Next with a broader lens--planning for a new season of growth, value, impact, and significance for themselves, their successor, and the organization as a whole. Leaders who believe that fostering the success of their successors and building (versus eroding) value are non-negotiables for their transition and leadership legacy.

What is involved?

A cohort of 6-12 for-profit/non-profit leaders journey together and commit to:

  • Convening virtually one morning each month to talk through opportunities and challenges
  • Meeting 1-on-1 monthly with an Executive Advisor for action and accountability
  • Gathering quarterly for a 1.5-day retreat to learn, explore, map, and model.
