Workshop

Accelerating Business Performance through Leadership Development
Laci Loew, Vice President and Principal Analyst of Talent Management Practice
Rachel Cooke, Chief Operating Officer, Brandon Hall Group

Friday, Jan. 30, 2015, 9:00-10:30am (Part 1) and 11:00am-12:30pm (Part 2)

The leadership development approach that most organizations are taking is simply not developing leaders who deliver results. Brandon Hall Group research shows that more than 75% of organizations rated their LD as moderately effective or worse. Designed for executives and other business leaders as well as for HR and talent professionals, this two part, 3-hour interactive experience offers leading practice insights and knowledge for those who demand a deepening of their key leader pool and are investing in leadership development (LD) as the lever for long-term growth. The session introduces you to Brandon Hall Group’s LD framework, offers leading practices from high-performing organizations, and provides you with a tool for self-diagnosing your current state of LD. In this fashion, you will leave with:

  • The leading practices of high-performance leadership development.
  • A framework tool for diagnosing current state of organizational LD maturity.
  • An impact model for assessing the current level of LD impact on the business.
  • A shortlist of near-term action items to accelerate the impact of leadership development on business results.
