THE CHRO TABLE
Candid conversations about the decisions CHROs are making now.
An online Executive Forum, held every two months, for the senior-most executives responsible for their organization's people strategy. Small by design. Peer-level by invitation.

A room gives you access.
A table gives you a voice.
Anyone can walk into a room and observe. A seat at the table means you belong in the conversation, and you're expected to contribute.
The CHRO Table brings CHROs together every two months for a focused, candid conversation about one consequential people decision. Each Executive Forum starts with timely insight and moves quickly into peer perspective.
This isn't another HR webinar. You won't sit through slides and wait for Q&A. You'll sit with peers who are working through the same decisions you are.
Insight worth discussing.
Each forum opens with real evidence: research, field data, or client observations that frame the decision.
Peers who get it.
The people around the table carry the same responsibility you do.
A decision, not a lecture.
Every conversation centers on a choice CHROs are facing right now.
NEXT AT THE CHRO TABLE
Your 2027 leadership development plans are taking shape right now. At the same time, the new-year promotion cycle is about to move another group of individual contributors into their first manager roles.
So here's the question on the table:
Are we designing manager development around what managers actually need, or around what we've always provided?
Christopher R Jones opens with what 100+ front-line managers reported in participant surveys from his 2026 client workshops. From there, the conversation continues at the table.
What we'll discuss:
-
What front-line managers say they need more of
-
Where those needs match current manager development investments, and where they don't
-
How your peers are approaching 2027 manager development decisions
-
What to prioritize before the next group of new managers is promoted
