Executive Development Programs

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Our Executive Development Programs assess leadership readiness for new responsibilities and prepare leaders for succession. Services include successor readiness assessment, and one-to-one, small-group and large-cohort executive programs.

UNPREPARED SUCCESSORS

Failure to prepare successors creates serious risks for business continuity and competitive edge. Common signs are delays to role handovers, weak crisis response, risk aversion and declining innovation, high burnout in top management roles, and heavy reliance on a few key leaders.

UNCERTAINTY ABOUT SUCCESSOR READINESS

Blindspots about successor readiness drives unstable leadership transitions, and creates exposure to operational and financial risk. Common signs are rushed leadership transitions, over-reliance on allegiance over track record, high dependence on current CEO and key executives for critical decisions, vague/uncomfortable leadership appraisal discussions, and lack of clarity about the role of leadership evaluation in succession decisions.

featured case study

Multi-year global leadership program for fortune500

The Fortune500 consumer packaged goods company wanted to launch its own women's leadership program. The company was dedicated to equality of opportunity but had a comparatively low number of women in senior leadership positions. Management faced increasing scrutiny about its commitment to gender equality. Seeing a potential crisis on the horizon, management made investment in women leadership a key priority.

"I was inspired by the deep self-awareness, the coaching and networking, and most of all by the supportive community of women this program established."
