In the new knowledge economy, companies that know how to develop and manage human capital will hold a competitive advantage. To succeed, companies need to deploy a smart talent strategy. This program examines the question of how to organize, manage, and motivate talent in a way that supports the underlying business strategy. It will expose you to superior practices in recruiting, selecting, developing, rewarding, and retaining your organization’s talent.

Talent management experts will facilitate and incorporate perspectives from talent management consultants specializing in strategic business implications, academicians with specialization in the areas of talent management and strategic staffing, and individuals representing organizations with innovative and successful talent strategies.

 
This program will assist you in considering the following talent management questions and implementing integrated talent solutions in your organization:

• Do you have the talent you need to achieve your vision, strategy, and business objectives?
• Do your talent practices enable you to attract, develop, and retain the talent you need to achieve your business objectives?
• Do the talent pipelines in your organization reflect your strategy and the challenges your organization is facing?
• Is your organization effectively utilizing talent management processes like leadership development, performance management, talent reviews, succession planning, etc.?
• How can you improve your existing talent management processes and practices so that they are integrated and aligned with business objectives?

Participants’ current practices will be explored during the course of the program, with guided reflection on and suggestions for these practices. Participants will benchmark their practices against those of other organizations and come away from the program with an organizational action plan.
