The world’s changing. Your business is changing. What do your leaders need to change? Today’s complex, dynamic, global organizations need to build a strong leadership pipeline at ALL levels. Many organizations have focused development on top levels of leadership but struggle to develop and deploy systems that deliver ready-now leaders at every level. Yet, any break in the pipeline can restrict strategy execution and operational efficiency. Different processes and tools can be used to develop pipeline talent at every level.

In this highly interactive session, we will examine best practices on leadership transition, identification of potential, accelerated development and talent deployment. Participants will assess their organization’s current pipeline efforts at every level, apply tools to develop a leadership pipeline strategy and develop an execution plan.

By attending this pre-conference session, you will learn a three-prong strategic approach to operationalize your leadership pipeline.

• Talent: Link your pipeline strategy to your overall talent strategy
• Development: Deliver high-impact development at all levels
• Execution: Deploy systems and processes across the enterprise

This hands-on seminar will feature case studies of world-class organizations, diagnostic exercises and peer networking that will enable participants to gain insights and discover best-in-class solutions for developing a high-impact leadership pipeline strategy.
