CNEXT’s principal offering, the CNEXT Leaders Forums support our Future 400 initiative to identify the top 400 corporate executives in order to accelerate their growth and to shape and diversify the C-suite and boards of the future. These high-potential leaders are poised to be tomorrow’s CEOs within today’s leading companies, and CNEXT Leader Forum is a members-only forum designed to propel them to the next levels in their careers.
Members are currently SVP-level and above within established organizations, and each Forum consists of 15 thoughtfully selected members led by a range of current and former CEOs of leading organizations. Additionally, we commit to having members of diverse backgrounds and experience, including more than 50% from diverse communities.
This program delivers trusted mentorship and a curated network of like-minded high performers in an intimate, time-efficient model through small group learning sessions.
We've launched the Emerging Leaders Forum as part of our Future 4000 initiative, to bring together high-potential female and diverse leaders from 100+ organizations and 100+ former CEOs to positively impact the composition of the senior ranks, at scale.
Founding Member Companies identify high-potential leaders within their ranks to join a two-year program anchored around three key development pillars:
When only timely, one-on-one mentorship will do, CNEXT offers advisory services. Our network of successful CEOs can deliver situational, action-oriented advice in the form of principles, frameworks, and approaches for effective leadership — and for creating maximum business impact.
Our innovative capability development model creates diverse, curated forums of senior leaders. The ongoing development program is designed to maximize leadership skills and expose members to new ideas, fresh perspectives, and diverse experiences.
Today's leaders have packed calendars, full plates, and very little free time. Our methodology is designed to deliver maximum development without the intensive time commitment that other models require. This gives leaders the time they need to focus on business objectives without distractions or competing priorities.
CNEXT's forums meet virtually four times a year, and we plan to incorporate in-person meetings with the broader CNEXT community soon. Each forum features a deep dive into current and enduring challenges organizations face, from leadership amid disruption to growth and innovation and beyond. In addition, members may choose to participate in optional member-led sessions, as well as forums available to all CNEXT members.
CNEXT isn't available to everyone. Members of our forums are leaders who were selected by our research teams and whose backgrounds and experience were vetted against our strict criteria. Some were nominated by their CEOs, board members, or the broader C-suite community based on their leadership potential and business acumen. Our rigorous selection process and high-impact forums give members a community designed to complement their strengths and enhance their existing skills.
Forum sessions aren't lectures. Each session is a guided discussion facilitated by a different CEO mentor and is designed to foster energetic collaboration and meaningful exchanges of ideas. Members collaborate to solve problems, learn from each other and each other’s organizations, and anticipate the challenges of the future.
