“Due to its flexibility and dynamism as a company, CEB is willing to capitalize on people’s strengths and areas of interest …because I was successful as a researcher, they were willing to take that risk and move me over to the revenue side."

-Senior Director and Franchise Leader, IT Practice

“Here at CEB, everyone is willing to help anyone in the company if it adds to the overall value of the company. Everyone seems to have a ‘whatever it takes’ mentality to help each other and the members.”

-Recipient of the Spirit of Generosity Award

At CEB, we value different backgrounds and experiences because we think this diversity enhances our ability to serve our membership of over 4,700 leading organizations headquartered in more than 50 countries. In fact, we use the word “inclusion” to demonstrate our commitment to include all staff members in our mission.

Ask any of our employees what attracted them to CEB and you'll almost always get the same answer – “the people.” Our people are our most valuable resource. The dynamic combination of 2,500 professionals from a variety of backgrounds creates a unique environment that is both inviting and rewarding. Our employees come to CEB at various levels in their career, holding a variety of degrees (M.B.A., J.D., Ph.D.s). Your colleagues may include a recent college graduate, an individual transitioning from a traditional consulting firm, and a tenured staff member who has decided to switch career paths within the firm.

Staff members are not limited to linear, predetermined career tracks. While many strategic research staff choose to specialize in a practice area, there are numerous opportunities to move across practices or functions. As we launch new programs and expand existing services, we strongly prefer to staff new roles from our own ranks.

The Corporate Executive Board seeks two main attributes in its staff:

Our belief is that great ideas can carry an organization forward more surely than access to superior resources, market power, or sheer effort. Our corporate task is to discover these ideas, wherever they arise, and to teach them to the membership at large.

“We were wondering whether or not our members’ companies were recruiting in the most effective way possible, so we decided to research the recruiting process. We found out that instead of focusing on interview questions like most companies traditionally do, companies have much more success when they focus on sourcing and then making sure their new hires are fully engaged.”

-Recipient of the Firm-wide Force of Ideas Award

Our ambition is to forge relationships with both our members and ourselves that go beyond the merely commercial. This spirit is expressed in our business model of providing our services in an unlimited amount. We aim beyond commerce in our personal relations, as it is our goal is to serve both our members and each other beyond expectation and with appreciation.“One of the things that has kept me here so long is the unique company culture. I get to work with colleagues who will go out of their way to serve one another. It’s the little things that make the difference, like seeing a colleague who has his hands full and someone running in front of him to open the door.”

-HR Practice Leader, UK
