SUZANNE COONAN
HEAD OF EXECUTIVE TALENT & SUCCESSION, SALESFORCE
Developing future-ready executives
Across the industry, the call for strategic, forward-thinking leadership as AI changes the nature of work is louder than ever. Salesforce CEO, Marc Benioff recently said that today’s generation of leaders will be the last to lead only human workers. What does this mean for leadership? What does it mean for leadership development? Join us for a Global Chat with Suzanne Coonan, who has been challenged with this very question, and many more, at the heart of one of the organizations not only trying to transform how we work but also itself.
We’ll discuss:
- Evolving executive development: How Suzanne’s journey from practitioner to internal executive has shaped her approach to developing strategic leaders.
- Digital workforce transformation: Insights on how Salesforce is setting a new direction, balancing strategic imperatives with the practical needs of its leaders during rapidly deployed, company-wide initiatives.
- Stakeholder engagement strategies: Navigating the complexities of gaining buy-in from diverse groups with varied objectives and needs.
- From design to impact: A look into the Brandon Hall Group award-winning program and its alignment with business needs to achieve tangible, on-the-job results.
- The new mandate for L&D: A forward-looking discussion on how HR can move beyond training to create environments where leaders, and the business, can thrive.
