The Forum: Business Results Through People, affiliated with Northwestern University, is an organizational trust for thought leadership advocating that the most effective way business leaders can create and sustain organizational value is through their partnership with people. The Forum promotes a people-centered leadership approach by: providing relevant, provocative, and actionable academic research; creating a platform for leaders to dialog, network and benchmark practices; delivering ideas for practical action and experimentation; and, building and supporting a community of champions for people-centered leadership.
The Forum: Business Results Through People produced the above video under its former name, Forum for People Performance Management and Measurement. The video content remains the foundation of the organization.
