Executive Development
Women's Leadership Alliance

OVERVIEW
Organizations must continually develop and retain leadership talent from new sources.

CHALLENGE
While women have increasingly entered higher levels of leadership over the past fifteen years, leading organizations have made specific efforts to recruit and retain women in key leadership positions.

ACTIONS
ChangeworksGlobal, in conjunction with the Executive Women’s Alliance, designed and staffed The Leadership Alliance, a year long, multi-organizational learning forum designed to support and accelerate the development of talented women. The Leadership Alliance focuses on the three elements that make a successful career: individual efficacy, understanding of the critical success factors within one’s own organization, and cross-organizational learning with peers and executives

RESULTS
Three levels of learning were blended into a yearlong learning environment augmented with 360° executive assessments and individual coaching. Major global organizations have been sending their top women leaders to the Leadership Alliance program and the numbers of women holding executive positions in their organizations continues to rise.
