Its estimated that as many as 70% of new executives leave their positions within the first 2 years. How do companies protect their investment and accelerate time-to-full-productivity of new leaders? This workshop will explore the elements of onboarding including preboarding, potential early derailers, and the roles and responsibilities of partners in the process. It will also describe the key activities, specific performance milestones, and associated metrics that can be used to determine if the expected outcomes were achieved. The workshop will include a real world case study to illustrate the executive on-boarding process, its components, supporting tools, and lessons learned in implementation. This workshop will identify and support an integrated and systematic approach to accelerating a new leaders transition and increasing the probability of success.
As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Assess the on-boarding process in their own organizations
- Address potential early derailers to success
- Identify the activities, success factors, and milestones that need to occur in the critical preboarding process and first 90 days
