Unlock Systematic &
High-Impact Solutions: Transform Talent, Organizations & Strategy with the
Enterprise Effectiveness Network (EEN)
A network advancing expert and science-led systematic and high impact solutions
The Enterprise Effectiveness Network (EEN) is a dynamic peer-to-peer community of senior HR, OD, and business leaders where we discuss and address talent, organizational, and strategy execution challenges. Led by USCMarshall’s Center for Effective Organizations (CEO) experts Alec Levenson, Jennifer Deal, and Sharna Wiblen, EEN sessions are 90-minute virtual sessions founded on research-backed insights. By joining us for our EEN sessions, you’ll gain access to expert and research-led discussions and practical tools and be part of a network of like-minded professionals committed to advancing enterprise effectiveness. Together, we tackle issues at a depth that drives meaningful, lasting impact.
The Benefits of EEN
We see many HR business partners and COE heads take a too-narrow, inward-focused approach that does not sufficiently address underlying business issues. Organizational challenges typically are divided up and addressed separately by HR business partners, OD and analytics groups, and the bigger picture issues are either ignored or improperly diagnosed.
Benefit from 45+ years of research and insights
CEO’s research scientists are world-class experts and thought leaders in their respective domains. Their pioneering research shapes knowledge, industry best practices, influences executive decision-making, and drives transformative change across global enterprises.
Access to Leading Research and Expertise
Benefit from cutting-edge research and insights from CEO’s world-renowned researchers and affiliates, ensuring your strategies are grounded in science and proven methodologies.
Peer-to-Peer Collaboration
Engage with a community of leaders through EEN sessions that foster a collaborative environment for shared learning and problem-solving.
Establish enduring partnerships
EEN members become part of a long term network with CEO’s Research Scientists having worked with organizations for decades.
Resource-Rich Environment
Gain access to a wealth of resources, including research publications, case studies, and best practice guides, and previous EEN sessions, equipping your team with the tools needed for success.
Go beyond the rhetoric and hype
We don’t just explore emerging trends—we go beyond the talk to illuminate what really drives organizational effectiveness and business outcomes.
Elevate your impact
EEN helps you elevate your impact and position yourself as a strategic leader. By focusing on business outcomes rather than just HR or OD functions, we equip you with the insights, frameworks, and language to confidently engage with senior executives and make talent and organization decisions that directly contribute to business outcomes.
Real-time dynamic dialogues
EEN provides real-time access to experts, affiliates, and invited speakers, enabling dynamic, interactive dialogues that facilitate deeper learning and engagement.

Testimonials
“EEN is a valuable offering of PepsiCo’s partnership with the Center. EEN meetings strike a good balance between sharing the latest research on organization/workforce topics by researchers and practical application from peer organization HR/OD practitioners. The subject areas are timely, and span topics such as future-proofing our workforce, designing the employee experience, and extracting value from data sources to focus on the most important people analytics.” – SVP HR, Frito-Lay U.S. Commercial
“The return to PepsiCo is extraordinary. Not only do we benefit from the latest organizational effectiveness research, we’re also able to look outside our organization at peer practices and trends, while supporting the development of our best HR talent.” – Senior HR Director, PepsiCo., Benelux, Dach, France
“For UPS, the EEN has created a valuable community in which we not only benefit from the latest research, but also learn and share best practices from other organizations struggling with many of the same issues.” – Performance Consulting Director, UPS Global Talent Management, UK and US
“EEN meetings bring credible research and practice of the most relevant topics to HR and OD leaders today. The research shared provides a good science-based background and useful insights about the subject while the network with HR/OD leaders from other companies creates a great atmosphere to learn from each other about how to practically apply some of the theory. It’s critical to get an external perspective on the most important topics in the HR field, and EEN has provided a great platform to do just that.” – Senior HR Director, Avery Dennison
