Building an Internal Leadership Training Series with Former C-Suite Leaders
Challenge
An L&D team from a global professional services firm was building out an internal leadership training program for its approximately 800 partners, principals, and managing directors. The goal of the program was to help participants develop and enhance their skills for C-suite interactions.
The GLG Approach
GLG sourced dozens of former C-suite executives to join virtual workshop sessions and act as mentors, providing feedback and guidance to the participants.
These sessions were designed to give the program participants an opportunity to practice engaging with these executives who represented their client personas across several industries.
A selection of these C-suite executives also joined subsequent workshop sessions to discuss overall account planning and brainstorm market strategy.
Outcome
The L&D team expanded the program to feature dozens of workshop sessions each year. GLG continues to support the client’s efforts by providing former C-suite executives to act as “clients” to give constructive feedback and enhance the participants’ ability to pitch and win on future projects.
Why GLG?
GLG partnered with an L&D team to build an internal leadership training program with a series of workshops joined by former C-suite leaders.
