Seminars
- How can a 20,000‑employee decentralized organization build a clearer, more consistent and modern employee experience to address career‑development‑driven attrition?
- Learn how Charles River Laboratories is piloting an AI based talent intelligence platform with 3,000 employees to bring transparency and clarity to career paths, surface internal opportunities that are personalized, and align skills across the business using them initially in ways to drive better connection, development and upskilling
- With the pilot explicitly aiming to boost employee engagement, retention, belonging and internal mobility discover how this early phase is designed to also lay the groundwork for modernizing the employee experience and building an enterprise‑wide skills ecosystem.
This interactive Q&A examines the challenge of building leadership capability that genuinely changes how people lead, rather than producing well-attended programs with limited behavioral transfer.
Drawing on both the tiered development pathway and the enterprise transformation approach explored in the Discover sessions, participants will examine how to design development investments that deliver durable, measurable change.
- What design principles most reliably translate leadership development investment into genuine behavior change?
- How do you build a succession bench through development rather than just identification?
- What role does external methodology and partnership play versus internal capability in large-scale transformation?
- How do you sustain leadership development momentum through a CEO transition or major strategic shift?
