Define + Align: Culture Cohorts Are Here

It started as an idea to reach the HR pros and leaders I haven’t had the pleasure of teaching in my HR Strategy and Metrics courses over the past 15 years.

That capstone class challenged graduate students to build real HR strategy for their real workplaces. And—real strategy can be hard. HR is busy. Band-aid fixes, false promises, and off-the-shelf training are so much easier.

So I created this course to be different: practical, flexible, and grounded in what actually works.

As a former Chief People Officer, I learned how to align strategy and metrics in a fast-moving, results-driven environment. Now, I’m bringing that experience into a “do-it-with-you” format—designed to help HR leaders sharpen their strategy, elevate their expertise, and build a people foundation that’s measurable and truly business-critical.

And the research backs it up.

A recent study in the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance found that 92% of executives agree that improving culture increases firm value—and over 90% say culture is a top three driver of business success. It’s not just a “nice to have”—it’s a strategic advantage.

And the best part? Culture is the one asset competitors can’t copy. When done right, it becomes an invisible force multiplier—driving productivity, alignment, and long-term value across the organization.

And now, it’s ready to get to work—with you.
