Case Study: UHN develops global oncology leaders with Insights

UHN develops global oncology leaders across 47 countries with Insights

UHN, Canada's leading hospital, sought to develop transformative leadership skills within its global oncology fellows. The challenge was to empower these clinicians, many returning to low-resource settings, with the systems thinking and communication abilities needed to tackle complex cancer care challenges worldwide. To address this, UHN partnered with Insights to utilize its Discovery and Self-Aware Leader programs.

The solution was the Global Oncology Leadership Development (GOLD) programme, which integrated Insights' training into a series of lectures and interactive sessions. This provided a foundation in self-awareness and an understanding of different communication preferences. The measurable impact, as published in a 2026 study, showed that fellows reported significant improvements across 24 leadership competencies, including communication, systems thinking, team management, and self-awareness. Insights was instrumental in helping UHN build a stronger global community of cancer care leaders.
