THE CONSORTIUM APPROACH TO GROOMING FUTURE LEADERS
Leadership development can be costly. In a consortium program, an
education provider such as a university organizes a small group of
noncompeting companies to share in not only the cost, but also the
experience of developing their potential senior managers.
Consortium programs are a hybrid of public programs (in which any
company can send anyone to learn new skills) and custom programs
(designed to create organizational learning by educating a large
group of a company's executives together). Consortia have the
benefits of both, and add the broadening influence of perspectives
from multiple, noncompeting firms. High-potential people from the
same company (and who might work together one day) can network;
candidates from different companies can compare "war stories" and
share what they know. Consortia help leader candidates build skills
and foster the cross-fertilization of ideas. The article tells how
to put together a consortium program, how many members is ideal,
what goes on inside a consortium, and such logistics as how often
to meet. No bricks and mortar needed. Lawler poses specific
scenarios that can help an organization decide whether a consortium
program would work for its leadership development system. The
optimum conditions are
when the number of attendees is two to 10 per year when you need
outside viewpoints when the topics require thought and discussion,
not just listening and learning.
