Technological, demographic, and socioeconomic forces are disruptingbusiness models and driving changes in the nature of work and organizations.  These changeshave potentially important and widespread implications for talent, which is causing manyorganizations to take a step back and reexamine their talent management strategies and practices.Some of the issues currently being explored include creating a more integrated talent managementstrategy, better aligning talent management with business strategy, leveraging emerging technologiesin talent acquisition and development, and addressing current or anticipated gaps in the talentpipeline.

At this meeting we will discuss the topics below but also leave plenty of time forother topics to emerge over the course of theday:

  • How do you tie yourtalent strategy to your business strategy? How do you make the connections visible tobusiness leaders?
  • Do you have a regional,functional, or global model?  What do you see as the strengths and challenges of yourcurrent model? Do you have an integrated talent management approach that covers differenttypes (e.g., technical, managerial) and levels (e.g., early career, senior) of talent?
