The leadership development industry is thriving. It is estimated that organizations spent nearly $31 billion on leadership development programs in 2016 alone. Despite continued industry growth and a strong cultural emphasis on leadership, there are still doubts that the industry is delivering. Executives across industries are expressing concerns about the future and their ability to find leaders who can handle the complex environment their businesses now operate in. Many practitioners have responded with new ideas about how to create the true development required for effective modern leadership. Unfortunately, many of these interventions face significant challenges of relevance and sustainability. This session will introduce the concept of vertical development as a tool for meaningful leadership development, and explore methods organizations can use to create and sustain vertical development interventions. Participants will learn key characteristics of successful vertical development interventions, and specific recommendations to design these interventions in their organization or practice.

The physical workplace has typically been viewed as a sunk cost managed by real estate, disconnected from the business and from OD. However, what if the workplace could be a catalyst to ignite a new way of working and enable a company's vision and strategy? Leveraging the workplace as a strategic enabler, Activity Based Working (ABW) was born in Europe 26 years ago to disrupt our existing work paradigms and provide employees with the freedom to work anywhere, anyhow and anytime. With the changing nature of work and enabling IT tools, our current work paradigms no longer serve us. In rethinking the way we work, ABW leverages the workplace as one of the most tangible and powerful levers for change. This session challenges OD practitioners to innovate beyond the traditional scope of OD by exploring change through the intersection of workplace design and culture.
