Post-Conference Workshops:

Laying the Foundation for Effective Talent Management
February 14, 2013

REGISTRATION 12:45–1:30 PM

WORKSHOP 1:30–4:30 PM

Join us for an interactive workshop with Marc Effron, co-author of the Harvard Business Press best seller, One Page Talent Management.  Marc consults to the world’s leading companies and continually develops new, innovative tools for building better talent faster. 

In this workshop, Marc will help your company create a stronger talent management foundation using two new strategic and highly practical tools. 

Before building any talent process a company must understand exactly what type of talent it’s trying to build and how it plans to build it.  These simple concepts can be notoriously difficult to execute.  Marc will discuss his Talent Production Line approach for analyzing your company’s ability to define and sustainably produce talent.  He’ll also teach you how to apply his two latest innovations that are currently being implemented worldwide:

• The Success Model: Typical competency models are failing at many organizations because the models don’t sharply differentiate great talent. Move beyond competency models to help your leaders truly understand what drives success in your organization.  A Success Model captures the outcomes that will define high potential, not the competency precursors to it.
• Talent Management Philosophy: In few companies has the senior team agreed on the “rules of the road” for building talent.  How long is it OK to be a 50th percentile performer? How important are behaviors? The answers to these and similar questions comprise your company’s talent philosophy.  Assess your organization and take the first steps to putting this foundation element in place.
