What makes leadership development programs truly transformational—and scalable—in today’s dynamic world? Join this interactive Solutions Session with a panel of experts who design and deliver complex, high-impact leadership development programs across diverse industries. Through the lens of the "4 Cs"—Convening, Connectedness, Content, and Choreography—we’ll explore how to purposefully combine these deeply interwoven and catalytic design practices to engage leaders, shift mindsets, drive change, and generate lasting results.

Expect a candid, behind-the-curtain look at what works, what doesn’t, and what’s emerging in the field. Whether you're building leadership development programs in-house and/or partnering with external providers, this session will offer insights you can apply immediately—and provoke new thinking about the future of leadership development.

In this session, you will::

  • Discover how intentional convening elevates the experience and outcomes.
  • Explore real-world strategies for creating meaningful connection and belonging.
  • Examine how content must evolve to match the pace of change and support deep learning and transformation.
  • Appreciate the intentional choreography required to enable meaningful engagement and interaction.
  • Discuss the combination of these deeply interwoven and catalytic design practices.
