In 2005, along with the new name came a new focus on Strategic Capability for the entire organization. The Toronto Region of SCNetwork launched a brand new, far-reaching type of subscription for organizations. It is designed to create a strong future for capability strategies and human resource management.

The Corporate Subscription is designed truly as a training program and may be budgeted as a training expense, which can make it easier to accommodate for some organizations.

The strategic purpose of the Toronto multi-participant Corporate Subscription is, over time, to encourage more organizations to help fully educate senior line executives to appreciate the powerful contributions to organization strength and bottom-line results available through effective, strategic management of the individual and organizational capabilities of its people.

Corporate Subscription includes the following essential privileges

For the single inclusive fee of $1000, the senior Vice President of Human Resources or equivalent becomes a full individual member called the "Key Member" with the usual access to library and other privileges of individual members. In addition, the Key Member can invite or send up to three additional individuals from their organization to all regular meetings at no additional cost. If four people attend every regular meeting the cost for the exceptional line-up of presenters each year is in the range of $20 to $25 per person per meeting, an amazing value.

For organizations that require personal development or want to ensure line executives remain up to date and aware of the latest knowledge about the impact of people on results, this is a particularly attractive offer.

Over time, the goal is to increase appreciation of the professional contribution of human resources/people capability within individual organizations and throughout society. Organizations and senior HR executives who take advantage of this opportunity today stand to be in the forefront of contributions to the profession long term.

There is no doubt this far-sighted strategy will be seen in future as a key step in the ever-improving vision of organization capacity and outcomes for both individuals in the organization as well as overall results for all stakeholders.

Other Features of Corporate Subscription

Additional attendees are at the discretion of the Key Member each meeting, provided they are senior (the most senior in any major function). Senior status ensures the value of networking remains high.
