Rapid change and contextual shifts are causing senior leaders to take a hard look at the leadership talent they will need to carry them to 2020 and beyond. This conference is a “must attend” for any organization re-examining how they need to assess and develop their leaders for the complex challenges ahead.

• Learn from a recent Conference Board Council Perspectives report, what the Leadership Essentials are for 2020 and Beyond
• Discover how successful organizations differentiate talent critical for future growth; accelerate development through embedded learning, coaching and mentoring; and make development relevant and sticky
• Learn how to develop a culture and leaders who can foster innovation, span boundaries and intentionally manage networks to maximize collaboration
• Understand how the convergence of social media, cloud computing and the Millennial workforce changes everything about how leaders can leverage speed and complexity for competitive advantage.

Who should attend

This conference is intended for executives charged with leadership development, talent management, human resources, organizational effectiveness, learning and development, succession management and engagement. Line leaders and C-suit executives will also benefit from learning how to identify, develop and coach their future leaders.
