LEADERSHIP SOLUTIONS

CHALLENGINGDYNAMICS

NON-STOP CHALLENGES, NON-STOP CHANGEToday’s organizations face a dramatically transformed economic and business landscape. Rapid advances in information technology combined with intense global competition require a new form of leadership.

WHAT’S NEEDED FOR SUCCESSIn the face of these challenges, leadership development has never been more critical. What worked in prior years will not necessarily work in today’s demanding environment. More is expected, and managers must become leaders capable of thinking in new ways, acting decisively, and engaging employees on a global scale. The organizations that will succeed are those with leaders at all levels who can rapidly and effectively respond to non-stop challenges, non-stop change.

DEVELOPING YOUR LEADERS STARTS HERE For more than 20 years, Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning has provided leadership development solutions that have helped create such leaders. Our offerings enable global enterprises and governments to achieve success by creating and strengthening leaders at all levels in their organizations. Our solutions leverage the business insight and thought leadership of Harvard Business School faculty, Harvard Business Review authors, and other management experts. And they’re delivered using the latest technology and learning practices to enable anytime, anywhere access to content that’s in the context of real work. The result: flexible solutions that address our clients’ most pressing strategic challenges and drive meaningful business results.

THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IMPERATIVE

1

Leadership Development That Works Traditional approaches to leader development aren’t delivering on their promise. They’re too detached from business operations and strategy, and focus on knowledge and skills to the neglect of values and mindsets.

The conventional approach to leader development offers a variety of programs and developmental events, but they’re often delivered in isolation. Individual managers may improve their skills, but the impact on business results is often minimal.

To develop the leadership capabilities across their organizations that will drive business results, learning leaders and their partners in the C-suite must take a more holistic view of how they develop leaders and how learning opportunities (both formal and informal) integrate with the organization’s strategic imperatives.

EXPERT THINKING Harvard Business Publishing’s solutions draw on the latest in business thinking, research, and frameworks from world-class experts. Our experts come from the academic and business spheres—professors from Harvard Business School, contributors to Harvard Business Review, and world-renowned business leaders and management authorities. What these thought leaders have in common is a commitment to the practical, real-world application of their ideas and research findings.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP IN ACTIONWhen we implement leadership development solutions, we focus on three critical elements designed to get results. Our solutions:

n Tie leadership development initiatives directly and explicitly to an organization’s business strategy, setting clear and realistic goals, and measuring impact.

n Move beyond skills development and knowledge acquisition to a shift in thinking that encompasses the values, beliefs, and attitudes today’s leaders require.

n Fuse learning with work processes, balancing formal learning, learning from others, and learning by doing.

By combining expert thinking with a real-world approach, our leadership development solutions help our clients meet their most pressing challenges.

FOCUSED APPROACH

A NEW APPROACH Today’s organizations are too globally dispersed, their employees too time-pressed, to make some traditional learning methods practical or scalable. Further, these methods often focus on skills development disconnected from organizational strategy and day-to-day job realities. What’s needed is an approach to leadership development that takes advantage of technology and makes learning a more integral part of work.

YOUR STRATEGY, YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS We work closely with our clients to ensure that the focus is on their goals, objectives, and culture. We then map our offerings to their needs, building a solution that’s uniquely tailored to their organization. Results matter, so we design in ways to assess program impact and learner progress consistently and objectively.

DELIVERING THE RIGHT LEARNING BLEND Harvard Business Publishing’s leadership development solutions are at the forefront of learning-centered technology. Our offerings are blended. They combine live learning—sometimes face-to-face, often virtual, in structured and informal settings—with self-paced, online resources. This makes learning readily available, wherever a learner is located. Live virtual learning happens through lectures (delivered by Harvard Business School professors and other experts), case studies, and moderated group discussions. With all our engagements, our goal is to put learning into action.

FLEXIBILITY BUILT INOur solutions have “built-in” flexibility. They can be embedded within existing programs or run on a stand-alone basis; delivered by Harvard Business Publishing or client experts. Our offerings can be managed by Harvard Business Publishing, freeing our clients from having to devote resources to in-house management. They scale globally, enabling clients to deliver consistent learning across their entire organization. And our solutions are always tailored to an organization’s unique strategies and needs.
