The Federal Executive Institute’s (FEI) new Senior Executive Development Portfolio, SES Leading EDGE, strengthens the Senior Executive* through all phases of the Senior Executive Service (SES) life cycle, starting with entry into the SES. Government-wide programs in the portfolio: Advance the enterprise leadership capacity of continuing networks of Senior Executives to deliver government excellence through constant and accelerating change Promote cross-agency collaboration and innovation Produce stronger performance across government Deliver increased value to taxpayers Elevate esprit de corps and ideals of Federal service SES Leading EDGE programs are part of OPM's enhanced executive onboarding model and government-wide executive onboarding framework. The programs also help agencies fulfill requirements for Senior Executive continuing development (5 CFR 412.401) and support the Senior Executive role integrating the government-wide Human Capital framework (5 CFR 250) with other Federal management systems. Programs are delivered in the Washington DC area.
To support SES onboarding
The Government-Wide SES Onboarding Program accelerates the success of new senior executives in their first two years of executive service. The program is designed to help new SES “hit the ground running” in completing the transition to the SES enterprise leadership role. It includes: SES Orientation Briefings (two-day programs offered twice a calendar year) SES Onboarding Forums (one-day programs offered quarterly) The program is purposely designed to complement agency-level onboarding programs and to add a unique, enterprise perspective to the onboarding discipline.
To support SES continuing development
SES Enterprise Leadership Labs are immersive, interactive one-day programs offered in a wide range of formats. Senior Executives generate new perspectives, and test and experiment with tools and methods to address 21st century challenges. SES Enterprise Leadership Fellows will be a year-long quarterly program offered in 2018 for SES and SES-equivalents with at least seven years of service. Departments/ Agencies will nominate a fellow at the beginning of each cohort year.
* Senior Executives refer to career SES (Title 5), SES-equivalent (e.g. Title 10, Title 38, Title 42, etc.), Senior Level (SL) and Senior Scientific or Professional (ST) members as outlined in the December 15, 2015 Executive Order, Strengthening the Senior Executive Service.
