In partnership with McKinsey & Company, The Conference Board has just completed a comprehensive research report which articulates the current state of human capital, the major challenges as expressed by human capital executives around the world, and how to address  these challenges. The State of Human Capital Report reflects the survey responses and focus group comments of more than seven hundred human capital practitioners around the world. It offers both short- and long-term strategies that address the top four opportunities identified by human capital executives: anticipating the workplace of the future, securing the pipeline of skilled workers, capitalizing on employee engagement, and ensuring an agile workforce.
 
Join Rebecca L. Ray, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Human Capital, The Conference Board, as she moderates a panel discussion with the report’s researchers who will focus on  the key findings from The State of Human Capital report. Joining Rebecca will be Amy Abel, Ph.D., Director of Human Capital Research, The Conference Board; Emily Lawson, Partner in the London Office, McKinsey & Company and Leader of McKinsey’s global Human Capital practice; and Bryan Hancock, Partner in the Atlanta office, McKinsey & Company.
 
This session will offer new insights for Human Capital professionals interested in knowing how to leverage these research findings to drive better business performance.

Webcast Tips and FAQs

Steps to a Quality Viewing Experience

  1. 1. Click here to test your system compatibility prior to the webcast. Adobe Connect will test whether you have the correctversion of Flash Player installed and whether your connection speed is sufficient to view the webcast. If prompted, simply follow the on screen instructions to complete any necessary installations.
  2. 2. Use a landline internet connection. Wireless connections will work, as do mobile devices, but a landline connection will provide the best video viewing experience.
  3. 3. Listen via your computer speakers and turn the volume up. This is the best way to experience audio/video synchronization. If you need to use the call-in number, please be sure to mute your computer speakers.
  4. 4. Close any unnecessary applications including browsers, email programs, etc. These programs can use up your bandwidth causing video to freeze or audio to cut in and out.

Why are some webcasts scheduled late at night/ early in the morning?

We broadcast live from our New York, Brussels, and Hong Kong studios. Depending on your time zone and the primary audience for the webcast, the live broadcast time could occur outside of normal business hours. If this is the case, please access the webcast On Demand at your convenience. Time zone abbreviations: ET (Eastern time - New York), CET (Central European Time), GMT (Greenwich Mean Time- London), HKT (Hong Kong Time Zone), IST (India Standard Time), CST (China Standard Time) To convert a time zone to your local time zone, please visit the time zone converter site

I can’t hear audio

Double check that your speakers are not muted. If you are using external speakers, be sure they are turned on and not muted. Also, be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.

I hear an echo

If you are listening via a telephone, please mute your computer speakers

I can’t see video (when applicable).

Do you have the bandwidth required to view the video presentation? A telltale sign of bandwidth issues would be "freezing" video during the webcast. We recommend closing any unnecessary programs on your computer to minimize buffering that can disturb your viewing experience

Why do I get a "connection failed" or "connection blocked" message?

In addition to having a properly installed Adobe Flash Player, your computer must permit rtmp (over port 1935) and / or rtmpt (over port 80) live streaming protocols. Corporate users behind proxy servers should be sure their network settings do not time out rtmpt requests or the player may freeze after a set period requiring a stream restart. Please contact your local IT Administrator if you are unsure of your settings.
