Virtual Meetings
Facilitated Dialogue Around Mission-Critical Issues
Each month, between three and four 60 to 90-minute Cornerstone Meetings take place with a goal of connecting, inspiring, and energizing different content cohorts within the Searchlight community, covering your strategic HR, TA, BP, and TR team members.
Meeting subjects are influenced by the membership and designed and facilitated by the network strategic advisory board, with key takeaways being shared on the community hub afterwards.
How the Meetings Work
The Situation - 15 Minutes: Members listen to an introductory case study from a life sciences HR thought leader/mentor which addresses a key business problem HR leaders routinely face, and which we’ll aim to provide answers to.
The Discussion - 45 Minutes:Â Participants break out into working groups containing the most relevant members (grouped by company size) to challenge each other and develop their ideas whilst coaching each other to think differently.
The Action - 30 Minutes: Members return to the main plenary to share their groups’ key takeaways as the mentor isolates the most actionable strategies and provides a Q&A opportunity for further tactical and strategic questions.
