“A chaotic cloud of sound hangs over the stage, while the instrumentalists of the orchestra practice their different roles in anticipation of the beginning of the rehearsal. As the Maestro raises his  hand there is a moment of silence. The magic then commences - from the hundred instruments comes one clear, unified and powerful sound. Led by the silent Maestro, each individual musician plays in perfect harmony working towards the shared goal - a magnificent performance”.   

The “Maestro programs” were founded on the belief that, in the orchestra as in the work place, music has the power to create community and reinforce shared values. Music embodies knowledge and innovation, individual effort and collective achievement, and offers a work-environment that is full of opportunities for excellence and self-actualization – same as any successful business.

These programs offer a unique learning experience that explores the magical relationship between conductor, musician and audience to achieve inspiring new insights into leadership, management, and teamwork.

Internationally renowned conductor Itay Talgam turned to developing these exciting programs when he observed how the elements essential in achieving excellent orchestral performances could be transformed into powerful metaphors for the corporate world. Using a range of innovative techniques, these energetic and thought-provoking programmes challenge standard thinking and offer participants a fresh perspective on a range of organisational issues and work styles.

Since 1996, the ‘Maestro’ programs have been successfully employed across a wide spectrum of leading local, International and Multi-national companies, including Intel, Motorola, Philips, Marconi, 3Com, Credit Suisse, Lehrman Brothers, Hilton Group, Fujitsu and Digital, as well as in leading universities and business schools, government ministries,  and health and education systems.
