What happens

Each VP, or VP-in-waiting, names the enterprise result the role exists to move, in front of peers who hold the same title.

Sessions install the shift from running a function to owning a slice of the company: the peer relationships, the board-level conversation, the trade-offs nobody below them could make.

They report the number to the executive team, which is the first time most have done it in that room.

What changes
  • VPs who act like owners of the company, not heads of a department
  • A cross-functional peer group that keeps holding the line
  • Succession evidence for the executive team
  • Impact measured at the enterprise level
Business outcome
  • Alignment
  • Execution
  • Talent insight

Bell Leadership Foundations participants versus the Bell average (6% vs 4%), with a third the attrition. A system-level result; no VP-only cut is on file

How we measure

Each leader runs a High Impact Project against a real business number. Results roll up to the sponsor in dollars, with the Participant's own attribution of how much the experience contributed.

Evidence you receive: Impact project results, ROI commitment.

How it fits what you have

Maps to the competency model you already use. Runs as a module inside an existing leadership curriculum or as the immersive anchor a curriculum is missing. Reinforcement assets load into your LMS.
