Sustaining Executive Performance, or SEP, was the germinating idea for The LAB when we were established in November 2007. Inspired by the Corporate Athlete methodology and the work of Michael and Juliette McGannon at INSEAD we believed there to be a better way of working that didn’t compromise health and wellbeing. Read our blog for many of the articles that showcase SEP content or check out the book, audiobook and e-learning links below.

Key milestones were first teaching SEP at IESE Business School in 2009, where we have subsequently taught on over 150 programs, in which time the school attained number 1 ranking globally for Executive Education in the Financial Times rankings, and in-residence collaboration at Universitas Telefónica since 2012, teaching several thousand Telefónica employees. The SEP program has been delivered to over 20,000 managers face-to-face, from Perú to China, Denmark to Qatar, and over 250,000 online. It was published as a book by Financial Times Pearson in 2014 and 2015 and re-published as a significantly revised paperback in September 2019.

A large part of the SEP course looks at behaviour change and we’ve been fascinated by behavioural economics and nudge theory since first encountering it several years ago. Staying true to our design thinking heritage we continually design and produce workplace nudges in the form of posters, which can be purchased as digital downloads for unlimited printing. A sample of the current range is shown below.
