The question from the executive team

What is that investment actually producing?

Organizations continue to invest in leadership development. Yet many HR and talent leaders face the same question from the executive team.

What if leadership development began with the business challenge itself?

What we usually report, and what it leaves out:

Join Terry Patterson, drawing on his experience inside major corporations, as an advisor and as an executive coach, for a practical conversation about making leadership development more relevant, actionable and measurable.

Who should attend

Designed for leaders responsible for developing leaders.

For senior decision-makers who own leadership capability, talent development and organizational performance.

  • Heads of Leadership and Organizational Development
  • Senior HR Business Partners
  • CEOs and business leaders responsible for leadership performance

The agenda

What we’ll explore.

01

Start with the business challenge

Why leadership development is more effective when it addresses the situations leaders are actually navigating, rather than relying solely on generic competency frameworks.

02

Build the leadership capabilities that matter

How leaders develop their ability to inspire, innovate, drive agility and create value through practical application.

03

Ask better questions before investing

What to ask prospective coaching partners and leadership development providers about fit, structure, accountability and measurement.

04

Connect development to existing business measures

How HR and talent teams can define meaningful outcomes using measures the organization already recognizes and reports.

05

Lessons from inside major organizations

Perspectives shaped by senior HR leadership roles at IBM and Ford, and by advising organizations through Deloitte’s Human Capital practice.

06

Bring your own leadership challenge

Time to ask questions and consider how these principles might apply within your organization.

The measurement challenge

Leadership development doesn’t exist in isolation.

It should support the capabilities and performance an organization needs to execute its strategy. Yet connecting learning investment to measurable business outcomes remains difficult.

The question we usually ask

Did participants value the program?

The question that matters

What changed in how leaders operate, and how would we know?

This session explores how to approach that question more thoughtfully.
