Managing Cyber Risk(is your business)
If your Board of Directors asked you to articulate the organization’s cyber risk posture, could you?
Do you incorporate cyber risk considerations in both strategic planning and daily decision-making?
Do you understand the investments your organization needs to minimize cyber risk?
Coming Soon
Say It Skillfully® for Leaders
Do some days feel like all you do is run interference among your team members?
Tired of re-work because someone didn’t fully grasp the job to be done in the first place?
Wish you could do a better job delivering tough feedback — maybe even inspire by doing so?
Coming Soon
Getting Work Done When Trust Isn’t Where it Used to Be
How clear is it where power and influence reside in your organization?
Are you seeing tech-enabled social networks eroding the power of traditional institutions and brands?
Do you wonder how to navigate an ever-changing landscape, build trust with all your stakeholders and get the work done that matters most (and done well)?
Say It Skillfully® for Leaders
If you’re like most leaders, you’ve observed, if not experienced all of these. And like most, you haven’t had an abundance of support to help you navigate challenging conversations.
Now you can equip yourself to be in more control of your destiny, and less frustrated by the very folks you rely on to get work done—your people!
Say It Skillfully® for Leaders is an experiential communications workshop to enable you to empower your team to be their best selves and do their best work, together.
How you as a leader interact models for your entire organization how everyone else should interact. Your ability to say what needs to be said in a skillful manner sets a culture from the top for your people to be seen and heard, one where everyone says what needs to be said.
Only then can your group operate with an accurate shared reality—essential to make the best decisions, execute with speed and achieve great outcomes.
Get a sneak peek here and here.
Sign-up now and don’t miss the 2021 program schedule. When you excel at saying it skillfully, those you have the privilege to lead stand to benefit, perhaps even more than you.
Getting Work Done When Trust Isn’t Where it Used to Be
The rise of technology-enabled social media and sharing economy firms (e.g., Uber and Airbnb) have upended traditional thinking about trust and reputation—key to any organization’s success. Trust and reputation are now grounded not in traditional institutions and brands, but in our social networks. We live in a world of distributed trust.
Make sense of a world in which people trust in new ways.
In this workshop you’ll delve into the concept of social capital—a critical framework for understanding distributed trust—and make it actionable. We distinguish social capital from more tangible forms of capital, then explore what is lost when social capital is eroded and gained when social capital is formed. You’ll see how social network analysis (SNA) can be used to diagnose and remedy organizational deficiencies.
Understanding the implications of living in a world of distributed trust is essential for you as a leader to craft actionable strategies to engender trust among your people and manage a complex organization. This session will equip you with the social network concepts and tools, so that you better navigate this world of distributed trust.
Sign up now and don’t miss the 2021 program schedule. When you’ve learned to gain and wield social capital, you, your team and organization benefit.

The Experience
Live online learning—to be successful—must be done right, and when so, is every bit as successful as traditional classroom. Online learning can be more inclusive and more intimate, enhancing peer-to-leader and peer-to-peer education. And in no area is this truer than executive education, where you and your fellow learners are located across the world and face the demands of full-time jobs. Dialing in to a dreary webinar is a thing of the past. At e2 collaborative, we’ve brought our efforts into the digital era in three ways.
Community
Our experiences are capped at 24 participants, which we’ve learned is the sweet spot of peer-to-peer learning—large enough to offer the benefits of diverse experiences, while small enough to facilitate valuable dialogue. This gives our experiences the feel of a graduate seminar, with smart and impassioned faculty and students embarking on a shared journey. You’ll feel like you’re having a meaningful dinner-table conversation with close friends.
Pedagogy
All of our offerings are experiential learning. Our leaders minimize lecturing. Instead, we blend theory, cases, and exercises. Research-based theory is critical to helping you understand the general principles that can be applied to your business settings. Cases, meanwhile, provide a common set of examples, helping you understand how others have implemented theory. Simulations show you how to apply the lessons learned.
Technology
Digital education requires digital tools: high-quality webcams, microphones, and studio lighting. This baseline technology helps our leaders to pick up on and respond quickly to your reactions. A knowing smile may indicate that one of you has a relevant example to share; a glance away may indicate skepticism about a claim being made. With the right technology, we address these responses in real time.
The Mission
We exist to help you learn and successfully apply the learning.
We want you to acquire new knowledge and effectively put it into action at work (and perhaps at home), so that you not only create greater impact, but also are recognized for it.
We’re committed to your growth — as a professional and as a human being.
We want your experience to be memorable, meaningful and enjoyable, even fun.
We look forward to engaging with you in your life-long learning.
Please join us!
The e2 Collaborative
The e2 Collaborative—both on its own and in partnership with major universities—curates, designs and delivers transformative workshops that enable organizations to cultivate the next generation of leaders and maximize their return on people. Our workshops combine advanced diagnostic instruments, proven social science research and customized experiential content specific to our participants’ industry, objectives and environment.
The e2 Collaborative is reinventing executive education with an unwavering purpose: helping leaders to foster and drive exponential engagement across their organizations, market ecosystems and society at large in order to deliver sustainable performance.
We fill the gap between the canned and dated curricula of executive education dependent on "sage on a stage" pedagogy and the serving-the-masses content of a leadership development industry whose focus on attitudes, habits and behaviors neglects critical context—the role engaged leaders and their teams play in complex corporate cultures, organizational structures, supply chains, and economies.
We take our name from the mathematical symbol for Euler's number. It symbolizes the potential for exponential change when leaders approach engagement as an enterprise opportunity rather than an employee attribute.
