Challenges

We study the toughest problems facing the world’s smartest organizations.

"Being an innovative and creative person, The Corporate Executive Board has given me the opportunity to work on a variety of projects in ‘unchartered territory.’ I’ve been able to mold these challenges into something beneficial for the entire company. For instance, I rethought how we deliver value to members and designed tools to maximize the value that we offer as a company."

Senior Director, Sales, Marketing, and Communications Practice

"I was quite excited about the opportunity to transition to the London office after several years in D.C., as my career opportunities expanded even further in an environment so focused on rapid growth. I am involved in many key decisions and responsible for communicating European interests back to Washington. I visibly contribute to meeting corporate objectives and have a tangible impact on our revenue."

Constant Growth

We are always expanding our fields of study, providing new and unique career opportunities.

"Being a part of The Corporate Executive Board is rewarding in two areas. First, every day is a little bit different—there is always something new to do. There are ample chances to get involved in activities outside of your core responsibilities, where you can gain new skills and expand your career opportunities.

Second, it’s very satisfying to get positive feedback from members who have experienced our work—how it had an impact on their organization; how it changed their thinking and helped them avoid reinventing the wheel. That positive reinforcement makes even the most challenging day at The Corporate Executive Board satisfying."

Chief Information Officer

"It’s a true meritocracy here, and we are given the opportunity to advance within the organization at a relatively young age. The Corporate Executive Board provides me with great exposure to our senior staff and will be invaluable to my future."

Culture

We employ highly motivated, curious, and intelligent people who create a vibrant and unique work environment.

"We have an amazing work culture here; most of us have the ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality. With this comes a lot of devotion to the growth of the company and a strong collaborative culture. It is a very unique environment in that everyone is supportive of everyone else’s successes."

Director, Human Capital Practice

“The striking thing to me about CEB is the energy—there’s a ton of energy here. It’s a fast-paced environment where a lot gets done quickly. And the potential for personal growth and advancement is virtually unlimited. It’s really a great place to work.”

Director, Human Capital Practice

"It’s the people that really make the company stand apart. Everyone genuinely cares about his or her colleagues, and it truly is a team environment. This makes a huge impact—no matter what your job is, it’s the people you see and interact with every day who make a difference."

Underlying Purpose

We have a mission beyond commerce.

"The Corporate Executive Board continues to help me reach my personal and professional goals. I participated in the CEB Scholars Program, where CEB sponsored me to get my MBA. Unlike other companies, The Corporate Executive Board sponsored me as a full-time MBA student. I focused all of my efforts on my studies and got the full experience instead of worrying about working during the day and studying at night.”

Senior Director and Franchise Leader, IT Practice

"The constant interchange of ideas across the research team and with executives in the network has provided an incredibly rich and stimulating intellectual experience. It’s even more gratifying to see senior executives at participating companies practice those ideas and the impact that has. The Corporate Executive Board continues to provide a novel yet practical means for me to bridge my academic and consulting experiences."
