Uncovering Potential through Strategic Assessment: Talent Management that Drives Business Results March 18, 2008 8:30 amó1:30 pm Central Time Hotel Allegro, Chicago, IL
Targeted towards HR and business leaders responsible for implementing talent management programs, this half-day event will feature an overview of pressing talent management issues and strategies for driving business value from Josh Bersin. Kim Lamoureux, will discuss the importance of using assessments to identify high-potential employees and how assessments can play a critical role in talent and succession planning. Lamoureux will share results of a recently completed case study that details how Ace Hardware used assessments to facilitate a major reorganization and help drive business transformation.
ìOur research shows that filling key positions is a top challenge for 38% of companies surveyed,î said Bersin. ìCompanies are discovering that the effective use of assessments is highly valuable in determining current and future job fit, as well as uncovering the skills and attributes necessary to achieve business change and enduring success.î
Participants will see a demonstration of specific talent analysis solutions and assessment tools, and how they can be used to improve talent management effectiveness by increasing the objectivity, transparency, longevity, and impact of talent management programs.
This interactive session will allow participants to apply these concepts to their unique talent challenges. Participants will receive a detailed Bersin & Associates case study on implementing a talent assessment and development program.
ìWith escalating talent shortages, organizations must give urgent attention to talent planning that will identify tomorrowís top performers,î said Julia McClung, Vice President for Talent Management Solutions. ìUnfortunately, many organizations do not have an objective, consistent, and valid process to identify these individuals. Therefore, too often, employees leave for better, more rewarding positions ñ taking with them valuable knowledge and skills. This workshop showcases best practice strategies for reducing these risks and unlocking the potential of key talent.î
