The CNEXT Executive Leaders Forum aims to accelerate impact and advance development for senior executive corporate leaders and shape the future global executive, CEO, and board communities.
The Executive Leaders Forum combines the most effective and proven elements of peer collaboration and actionable learnings from former Fortune-ranked CEOs to increase the leader’s impact on the organization’s performance in a time and cost-efficient way.
The Emerging Leaders Forum, CNEXT’s DEI initiative, brings together high-potential women and People of Color, leading organizations, and 100+ former Fortune-ranked CEOs to positively impact the composition of the senior ranks at scale.
CNEXT provides a platform to accelerate the development and advancement of women and POC by focusing on Leadership Development, Personal Impact, Functional Excellence, and Direct Manager/Supervisor Engagement - all facilitated by former CEOs, functional SMEs, and best-in-class practitioners.
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 forums meet virtually throughout the year, with multiple in-person opportunities with the broader CNEXT community. Each interaction features a deep dive into today’s most critical, real-time leadership and business challenges, from leadership amid disruption to growth and innovation and beyond. Members may choose to participate in any of the engagements that align to their business challenges and accommodate their schedule.
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 engagement is a guided discussion facilitated by a different CEO or SME, 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.
