FAQs
What types of leaders are part of bluSPARC-Elite?
bluSPARC-Elite ensures true peer-to-peer engagement by carefully curating cohorts of accomplished leaders, including C-suite or the senior most functional officers within organizations. We believe in harnessing the collective wisdom of men and women from diverse backgrounds and industries for powerful career advancement.
Is there flexibility with the 12-month commitment?
While we understand the need for flexibility, we believe that a 12-month commitment is essential to fully reap the benefits of the bluSPARC-Elite experience. The program renews annually, with the option to remain in the same core cohort or discover others.
Is participation in bluSPARC-Elite confidential?
Yes, absolutely. We prioritize creating a safe and confidential space for executives to freely share and engage. Confidentiality is maintained throughout every aspect of the experience.
What if I already have an executive coach?
The bluSPARC-Elite coaching component is uniquely tailored to meet your leadership development objectives particularly in the context of your executive assessments. Therefore, committing to a minimum of three months with a bluSPARC coach is essential; however, this doesn’t necessitate discontinuing other coaching relationships.
How does the admittance process work since it is by invitation?
Executives can either directly reach out to our admissions team, or be nominated by a Board director, CEO, or CHRO of their company. Applicants are evaluated based on function, level, and organization size. After preliminary acceptance, an interview is conducted to assess compatibility and confirm time commitments.
Fall 2023 and Winter 2024 nominations and applications are currently being reviewed.
