36 Developing the Global Executive Hidden Gems Less frequently seen, yet having the potential to add new insights into global executive programs, are the Hidden Gems. Here content that is originally designed and delivered to address a specific population of leaders in a given region or business unit may be relevant to broader audiences. Once uncovered, it can be re-used and migrated to other regions or incorporated into a global program, extending the life cycle of material already developed. This presents an opportunity to use what already exists in the organization as well as to acknowledge work done by field operations and build relationships among headquarters and regions. Organizations in the Hidden Gems quadrant should think about: What can we do to uncover and leverage the best of each region? How can technology be used to help manage and distribute content? Truly Global In the Truly Global scenario, the organization values consistency in both content and delivery, often driven by a centralized team responsible for executive development. Well-designed programs drive business strategies and address the most pressing global issues of the day. At the same time, diverse cultures and regional markets are also considered. Programs in this category may take the shape of an annual leadership summit for the senior leaders, or a kick-off workshop for cross-organization high potential managers. These types of programs may be delivered at headquarters or rotated to different locations, adding even more global flair. Organizations in the Truly Global quadrant should think about: How can we scale programs to include even more executives? How can line leaders and internal partners in different locations participate in the global content design?
