C-Suite Academy
The nature of the C-Suite is changing. Increased employee mobility; the need to innovate and remain nimble while operating in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous business environments; and the centrality of digital transformation to business success are among the factors driving these changes. And though we may not know what the C-Suite will look like beyond the near future, we are certain it must evolve from its current post-World War 2 structure which is based in command and control and specialized silos.
Future CEOs and C-Suite executives need to be ready for the new landscape. They can’t rely on the traditional path to develop the business acumen and discernment needed to navigate future C-Suite challenges. They need new maps for the new territory; and new methods to prepare for success. This is especially true for Black executives.
What they need is a new type of C-Suite training. Welcome to the 2023 C-Suite Academy.
