This Council is exclusively for executive-level leaders of talent development, organizational development and learning for their member companies or firms.

These roles typically interact with the CEO and other senior executives of their respective organizations. Titles of members are usually VP or Directors of Talent Development, Organizational Development (Effectiveness) and/or Learning. Their core responsibilities will include at least several of the following areas all of which we have discussed during our meetings:

Corporate Learning strategy and architecture
Succession planning/talent reviews
Organizational capability and effectiveness
High potential and emerging leader development programs
Executive assessments/development/coaching
Employee engagement
Talent metrics/analytics
Innovation
Corporate Cultures/Employer Brand

The Council operates as a confidential forum that addresses the current talent development, organizational development/effectiveness and learning challenges, opportunities and trends facing members’ companies/firms and the profession as a whole. The Council is characterized by regular benchmarking and trust-based peer relationships that enable confidential discussions to occur that result in short and long-term value to its members.
