The Talent Management Summit 2012

The Talent Management Summit 2012
June 14th 2012
  • Hotel Russell, London

Having the right executive talent in place—ready to move to the top when needed—is critical for future business success. But how do you ensure a smooth shift to the next generation of leaders?

Robert Guest, Business Editor at The Economist chairs the Sixth Annual Talent Management Summit on June 14th 2012. The summit looks at human capital management at a strategic level and gathers over 150 HR directors, human resource and talent leaders. Key decision-makers and influential thinkers from a range of industries and academia will meet to discuss top talent and leadership challenges and opportunities.

  • How do you attract and retain enough employees at all levels to meet the needs of organic and inorganic growth?
  • How do you create a value proposition that appeals to multiple generations?
  • How do you develop a robust leadership pipeline and transfer key knowledge and relationships?
  • How do you achieve top-level buy-in and what is required by a CEO to get his team onside?
  • How do you unlock women’s leadership potential and release the next generation’s brightest talent?
