About Us

Forum helps senior leaders execute innovative, people-driven solutions that accelerate business growth, corporate change and overall performance

Since Forum’s inception in 1971, we have focused on one of the most critical elements behind any corporate strategic initiative’s success: The people factor. Forum’s five founders – three of whom had been classmates together at Harvard Business School – set out to assess and analyze the important role learning plays within organizations and the impact individual and group behavior has on effectively achieving time-critical business results.
