Turning experience into skill

No one is a born leader... you must learn to lead

THE FUTURE CEO PROGRAM @ ZOOM

The CEO Institute’s Future CEO program delivered via Zoom is a certification course designed for senior managers to meet the needs of companies that understand the benefits to be gained through the continuous professional development of their executives.

The Future CEO program is a unique development forum for executives on a leadership journey. The program provides a mix of facilitated and experiential learning, which enables members to enhance their existing management and leadership skills to fast track their career potential.

The 15 subject areas of the Curriculum Framework complement the topics chosen by the Future CEO Chair to meet the needs of members.

LEARN ON THE JOB

As a Future CEO member you and a select cohort of peers learn the skills of being a CEO from experts with broad business management experience.

Each Future CEO cohort has about 14 members - people just like you who are learning how to lead a business. Cohort members are carefully matched by The CEO Institute for compatible skill levels and activity in non-competing business sectors. This promotes openness and sharing within cohorts.

Future CEO activities are structured to develop leadership capabilities and management skills. The program is centred on:

• Learning best business practices from expert speakers.

• Themed workshops delivered by leading specialists.

• Critical problem solving around current business issues.

A GUIDING HAND

The twice monthly Zoom meetings are chaired by experienced Chair-facilitators who have been hand-picked for their extensive commercial background and practical business experience.

PROGRAM FORMAT

All meetings are delivered via Zoom. The first meeting of the month has an agenda set by the Chair-facilitator based on each member’s learning goals and current needs. The second meeting is a Member Check-in and provides members an opportunity to connect and share their issues & challenges in a less formal setting.

The meetings can include:

• Members’ issues. A confidential forum for members to raise challenges they are facing (problems and opportunities) and discuss them in a supportive way. Where appropriate, members may provide a formal presentation to the cohort on a project relevant to their business activities.

• Expert speakers / presentations. The members’ issues sessions often focus on the common challenges of today’s business environment. At most meetings, expert speakers are engaged to deepen knowledge in these areas and answer questions. Leading academics are also engaged to deliver cutting-edge thought leadership scenarios, to expand members’ thinking and better equip them to meet challenges in today’s dynamic and fast moving world of business. It’s like having your own private MBA tutorial.

• Open forum. Broad-ranging discussion about issues affecting members. Critical peer-to-peer problem solving is facilitated by the Chair-facilitator in addressing these issues.
