STEP is a small consortium of executives and senior practitioners in organizational development, training, and performance improvement disciplines. Members represent corporations recognized for their excellence in employee development. The group is intentionally small in order to remain collegial, and crosses industry sectors in order to minimize concerns about what can be shared (though a founding principle of the group is that we only share non-proprietary information). As one member put it, the idea is to replicate the kind of discussions that go on around a kitchen table. In other words, STEP
offers its members a chance to "cut to the chase" and discuss issues that affect their personal and business success.
