Overview: Every Talent Management leader still has a professional obligation to keep up with the newest strategies and tools. And if the goal of your firm is to dominate the talent marketplace, you must realize that you simply can't reach that goal if you are utilizing the same tools and strategies that your talent competitors use. In order to stay ahead, you need to learn about and adapt the newest and most advanced leading-edge Talent Management tools. These advanced approaches are called "leading-leading-edge tools" because they use new strategies, new technologies, new channels and as a result of their newness, their use involves some degree of experimentation and risk. Even though these bleeding leading-edge approaches are only utilized by less than 5% of firms, their uniqueness allows them to produce amazing results.

In this interactive session, the world renowned Talent Management strategist Dr. Sullivan will highlight the bold and aggressive practices that are being used by the best firms in Silicon Valley and around the world. He will explain the strategy behind each approach, why it works and how utilizing it can give a firm a competitive advantage in the battle for top talent. If tight budgets have prevented your recruiting, retention or development functions from adopting new methods and approaches, this session will at the very minimum help you assess and show your senior executives how far your firm is from the rapidly evolving "outer limits" of Talent Management practices. One of the goals of this webinar is to have attendees leave with a degree of excitement, dozens of new ideas and a commitment to become bolder in their approach to managing talent.


Why should you attend: We all operate in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Chaos, Ambiguous) business world so it's hard to argue against the fact that the field of Talent Management is also continually changing at a blistering pace. The constantly shifting economy has dramatic impacts on recruiting and retention. We have to manage new generations that have completely different expectations about work. And finally, new technologies like social media completely change the way that we manage, learn, collaborate and share best practices.

Taken together these rapid changes can be both confusing and hard to keep up with. Unfortunately, falling behind can hurt your career but it can also mean that you are hurting your firm because you are operating with dated talent management approaches and tools. It's your professional obligation to find a way to keep up with these Talent Management best practices and to adapt as many as possible to your firm.
