Design
Flipped Classroom
During Quarter 4, the cohort meets every other week for 5 sessions. For each session, we focus on one trait of great innovators. We adhere to the following cadence for each session.
Prior to each session...
Cohort members complete an eLearning microlesson that delivers instruction through a fictional case study.
For each session...
Cohort members bring ideas that will guide our session. The facilitator directs them with specific instructions.
During each session...
We recap the case study and discuss the takeaways. Then, we utilize the ideas they brought so we can workshop the teachings for that microlesson.
After each session...
Cohort members upload an artifact that reflects their learning on our shared platform.
These artifacts will be added to their portfolios to be displayed during our culminating "ceremony" when they graduate the program.

Online Instruction
Curriculum of 5 eLearning modules, each 10 minutes or less.
Each module presents a fictional case study that demontrates a leader faced with a challenge. At first, we see that leader fail to innovate and the negative consequences of their actions. Then, we rewind time to explore an innovative approach they could have used instead. The consequences of innovation are rewarding and fruitful.
Each fictional leader ultimately exhibits one of the 5 traits of great innovators: Curious, Customer Obsessed, Collaborative, Adept in Ambiguity, and Empowered.

Evaluation
Artifacts from each session are showcased in the cohort members' portfolios during our Gallery Walk at the end of their program.
The event is open to coworkers, supervisors, directors, and executive leaders. Visitors circulate among "exhibits" where each cohort member displays their projects and reflections, all of which are aligned with the organization's core competencies. Cohort members are the stars of the show, sharing their LDP experiences and their resulting growth as a leader, one-on-one with people from across the organization.
Evidence of Impact
58% of the most recent cohort were promoted within 1 year of starting the program.
Performance Review Cycle
Campaign Impact
Overview of the cycle published on intranet
Our achievements: established governance of the Performance Review Cycle, created trust in the process, and increased engagement. The solution includes resources that address role-specific needs for individual contributors and people leaders. The library of assets includes job aids that are personalized for each role and phase of the cycle. They are hosted on the organization's intranet, along with the timeline you see here which is updated to reflect the phase we are currently in.
