Executive Journeys and Collaboration: iVentiv at KPMG

Submitted by networkadmin on

"What I find iVentiv have done, you’ve shifted the paradigm. You have learned to ask good questions, so it is not the content but it is the rich question.”

At iVentiv’s Executive Development Knowledge Exchange at the KPMG HQ in London this week, iVentiv CEO & Founder Russell Butler took some time out with a small group of attendees to discuss why collaborating with experts and leaders from similar companies and partners can be such a valuable exercise.

How does collaboration shift the focus from ‘edutainers’ to learning from one another?

What are the insights you can take from sharing experiences with other executives and with Executive Development providers?

How has Executive Development changed? How has it stayed the same?

What does the journey of an Executive look like, if it looks like anything consistent at all?

Join expert panelists:

  • Serena Gonsalves-Fersch (Global Head of Talent & Academy, SoftwareOne)
  • Mika Kioussis (Global Head of Leadership Development (Learning Services), NetApp)
  • Dr. Frederick Holscher (Adjunct Faculty, Hult International Business School, Hult EF Corporate Education)
  • Claire Semple (Global Talent, Leadership and Learning Director, Bupa)
  • Fiona Burns (Director, People Consulting, KPMG)

And watch the full discussion for a taste of the conversations that make an iVentiv event unique.

She spoke about how not all diversity is visible and how “invisible” traits such as neurodiversity can be truly impactful. Businesses, she says, should support all voices that don't get heard enough by traditional means and leaders and DEIB champions should encourage everyone to learn from their mistakes.
