8th Annual Talent Management Strategies Conference: Maximizing Your People Assets for Business Impact

Marriott Marquis, New York, NY, February 28-29, 2008

CEOs are finding that limitations for top-line growth are not coming from tight capital or technology but from the inability to attract, engage and retain enough top talent to execute against their growth strategy. This dilemma puts Strategic Talent Management front and center stage.

At the 8th Annual Talent Management Strategies Conference you can learn how to maximize your people assets for business impact. Focus points include how to embed a talent mindset in your organization to mitigate risk, gain competitive advantage, and leverage your people assets for business results. Key talent issues to be discussed include:

  • Executing business strategy: looking at talent management through the CEO lens.

  • A “change management” approach to talent management.

  • Human capital planning: the bridge that translates business strategy into talent strategy.

  • Sourcing, attracting and acquiring the right employee.

  • Differentiating talent: identifying and assessing high potentials earlier.

  • Leveraging organizational networks to drive performance.

  • Emerging growth countries: develop leaders; fill the pipeline.

  • Emerging growth markets: develop leaders; fill the pipeline.
