Research:
The Human Capital Institute (HCI) and Vistage International, Inc. (Vistage) partnered to conduct this research to gain a deeper understanding about the ROI of Executive Development. In an effort to determine what business areas are most influenced by executive development and how, a survey was designed and distributed to 346 respondents, and supplemented by additional primary and secondary research methods. This research profiles the key business measures affected by Executive Development, and provides a more comprehensive perspective on what methods of development an organization can use to most effectively leverage its senior leaders. As a result, the common barriers facing Executive Development, illuminated in 2011 by a report produced by HCI and Vistage, are also addressed.
