Who it is for
Ministries, agencies, state-owned enterprises, universities and Bhutanese companies with a mandate that requires the same people to lead differently for years, not weeks.
Institutions willing to be measured, and to let the measurement be published in aggregate.
Work is designed with the institution's own leadership, not sold from a catalogue.
The arc
Scoping
Six to eight weeks. Interviews, a written diagnosis, and an agreed statement of what would count as success.
Foundation
A residential module for the senior group, mirrored later for the layer beneath them.
Embedding
Practice groups inside the institution, led by staff BGLI trains for the purpose.
Review
Measurement at six and twelve months, reported to the institution and, in aggregate, publicly.
What is measured
Institution-specific indicators
Agreed at scoping. Typically decision cycle time, staff retention, and one service quality measure.
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10)
Whole-cohort, at each review point.
Retention
Twelve-month retention against the institution's own prior baseline — the brain-drain question, stated plainly.

“The diagnosis was uncomfortable and correct. We would not have paid for a comfortable one.”
Ugyen Wangdi — Secretary, A Bhutanese ministry
“Our first-year retention moved. That is the number we watch.”
Deki Zangmo — Head of Human Resources, Bhutan Power Corporation

Questions
What is the smallest sensible engagement?
Six months and one senior group. Below that nothing embeds and the measurement says nothing.
Who owns the data?
The institution. BGLI publishes aggregate findings only, with the institution's agreement.
