The Academy seeks to create a global business world where every person can authentically engage, be valued, and be afforded equal opportunities to drive transformational business results.
The purpose of the Academy is to (1) advance and grow a global business community and workforce through leadership and institutional development where every person is authentically valued and afforded equal opportunities to thrive and (2) provide business, government, and not-for-profit leaders with strategic guidance on addressing complex workplace issues.
The Academy for Advancing Excellence was created out of an acquisition of the Center for Workforce Excellence (CWE). We are proud to continue building on CWE’s 21-year track record for developing disruptive and transformation solutions to enhance workplace culture for better business results. We recognize that leadership development, employee engagement, and workplace culture are critical pillars of growth and organizational success.
Inequities exist around the world and we take pride in our ability to address equity, equality and inclusion as a global challenge.
We walk our talk, especially when it is difficult. We model the behaviors and actions we encourage our clients to adopt.
As experts, for decades we have utilized research and data to support our experience and our approach to develop transformational leadership development programs.
The power of we is beyond what any individual can do. Our work teaches us that inclusion is the way to win. Through collaborating with our team and our other stakeholders, we make winning solutions a reality.
Someone has to go first and we are courageous enough to do it. We are bold in our thinking and in our programming.
We find joy in being real and creating the space for our team to bring their gifts and talents to solve big issues.
