AGENDA BY TIME ZONE
SEPTEMBER 21 - Eastern Time (ET)
Speakers: Rich Walker and Jeff Tarr
A brief welcome to the event and summary for what to expect throughout the day.
Speaker: Brent Colescott
Nearly two decades ago Tom Peter’s groundbreaking business book “Re-Imagine” challenged professionals to re-think everything. To not only survive, but thrive in today’s world organization’s must embrace change or face irrelevance. We’ll discuss how Talent Development now plays a critical role in the culture of an organization through attracting, engaging and retaining employees.
Moderator: Mark Fung
With a multitude of external factors challenging the globe over the last 18 months, organizations have had to think on their feet, make quick decisions, and take immediate action, especially when it comes to managing their most valuable resources: their people. Virtual work, skills gaps in their current workforces, maintaining employee engagement (and loyalty), and overall high market demand for talent versus availability are just a few of the conditions that organizations continue to face today and possibly for the foreseeable future. So what have we learned from the last 18 months? How have we adjusted? And are the changes we’ve made just minor course corrections to the same plans from before, or do they play out as a permanent fixture of a new reality for talent development?
