Building High-Performing HR Leaders™

THE PROCESS

UNIQUE FEATURES
This is a transformational leadership development process that takes place over a 3-month period and focuses on the participant's growth as an effective leader as well as the participant's ability to achieve on-target business results. It involves a powerful combination of learning approaches, including:

A Business Problem - making the experience real
As part of this development experience, participants must own an initiative that involves solving a significant business problem or seizing a significant business opportunity in their organization.

Workshops - providing the learning framework
Participants will engage in three days of intense interactive classroom learning that provide an opportunity for self-discovery, enhanced business knowledge, and skill development to help ensure the success of the participant's project and individual development goals.

Panel of HR Executives - sharing "lessons learned"
A panel of successful HR executives from Fortune 500 companies will be on hand to dialogue with participants on topics such as how the human resource profession is transforming, how to earn and keep a place at the table, and how to maintain credibility as a leader.

A Facilitated Small Group - taking peer relationships to the next level
Participants will participate several times in a facilitated small group of human resource peers and will be prompted by the facilitator to challenge each other's thought process and exchange feedback, advice and support.

One-on-One coaching - moving participants towards achieving learning outcomes
Participants will be assigned an executive coach and receive 5-6 hours of one-on-one coaching throughout the development process. The coach will work with participants on their individual learning goals and will challenge participants to help them consider alternatives in solving their business problem.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Participants must have a solid base of HR expertise and be viewed as a leader who is capable of the next level of HR value creation. They must have consistently demonstrated strong results with at least 5-8 years of HR experience. They should also desire to sit at the table as a strategic partner with other leaders, and be both a willing learner and willing teacher.
