Designing for Networked Leadership: Shifting from “What?” to “How?”
In early 2022, the Jim Joseph Foundation, in partnership with Maven Leadership Consulting, launched the Cohort-based Experiences (CBE) Initiative to test new models of learning and leadership development in cohort settings within the Jewish community. Since then, multiple new cohorts have launched, bringing together professionals in the non-profit Jewish sector who serve in a variety of roles.
As the name suggests, the CBE tests cohort models and provides insights about what makes cohort experiences so powerful, which elements most contribute to their success, and how we might greatly expand and democratize the cohort-based learning experiences available in the Jewish communal ecosystem to support and nourish our Jewish educators and mid-career professionals.

This guide is the third report in the Center for Creative Leadership’s ongoing Cross-Portfolio Research Study on leadership development in the Jewish social sector, which was commissioned by the Jim Joseph Foundation and began in 2018. Sources of data for our research include leadership development research and best practices, interviews with more than 80 successful Jewish leaders, surveys, program observation, evaluations, and emerging thought in Jewish leadership discourse, philanthropy, and other topics.
