Leadership gets harder exactly when the stakes increase.
Co/Lab is a confidential peer forum where senior leaders work through real organizational decisions with peers operating at comparable scope.
Program Snapshot
6–8 leaders per cohort
One leader per organization
Monthly facilitated sessions
Leaders bring live business situations
Cross-company, confidential forum
At enterprise scale, a single decision made sooner — or executed with greater clarity — can influence millions in revenue, cost, or talent outcomes.
THE LEADERSHIP MOMENT
When leadership scope expands, expectations increase immediately. Leadership judgment develops more slowly.
In the meantime, leaders often find themselves navigating situations where:
Decisions carry wider consequences
Stakeholder dynamics become more complex
The margin for error narrows
Yet most leaders have few places to think candidly about what is really happening.
Co/Lab exists to support leaders in this moment.
WHAT CO/LAB IS
A confidential peer forum where senior leaders examine real issues while the work is happening.
Leaders bring live situations into structured, facilitated dialogue with peers operating at comparable scope.
This is not:
training
networking
classroom leadership development
It is a forum designed to help leaders see complex situations clearly and move forward with stronger decisions.
HOW CO/LAB WORKS
Cohorts meet monthly to examine real leadership situations brought into the room.
Each session follows a simple structure:
Surface the situation
A leader brings a current leadership challenge with real organizational stakes.Examine the dynamics
Peers explore the underlying drivers shaping the situation.Clarify decisions
Leaders identify the decisions or actions required to move forward.
Leaders apply insights between sessions and return with new experience.
Over time this strengthens leadership judgment.
WHO PARTICIPATES
Participants are selected based on scope of responsibility — not title.
Typical participants:
Lead leaders within multi-layered organizations
Own material business or organizational outcomes
Are within ~24 months of expanded leadership scope
Are identified as high-potential or succession candidates
Demonstrate candor and commitment to leadership growth
Each cohort includes leaders from non-competing organizations to enable candid discussion of real situations.
BUSINESS IMPACT
Organizations sponsor leaders in Co/Lab when decision quality and execution speed matter.
Impact shows up as:
Faster Resolution
High-stakes decisions move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Talent Navigation
Complex people decisions are handled with greater skill and judgment.
Stronger Execution
Strategic initiatives and organizational change efforts land more effectively.
Succession Depth
High-potential leaders develop enterprise perspective faster.
COHORT COMPOSITION
Cohorts are intentionally small and carefully curated for comparable leadership scope and meaningful contribution.
Two cohorts are forming:
Enterprise Leaders Cohort
Senior leaders operating at enterprise scope and shaping cross-organizational strategy.
Senior Leaders Cohort
Leaders responsible for major functions or business units preparing for enterprise-level roles.
Now forming the 2026 Co/Lab Cohorts.
Organizations may nominate leaders currently navigating expanded leadership scope.
