Organizations face rapidly evolving challenges that require leaders to navigate through uncertain economic times, drive technologically-enabled workforces, and deliver results in complex, global structures. Individuals who embrace the traditional hierarchal approach to leading, with centralized decision-making, will struggle to deliver in the rapidly changing environment. Connection, through networks, communities, and technology, will enable future leaders to manage complexity, build value-added relationships, and drive innovation with a diverse, global workforce. This conference will challenge our traditional thinking and discuss:

- Role of mobile technology and social media in influencing how we connect with each other and the work that we do - Innovative approaches that empower individuals to achieve work-life balance while building their careers - Methods to interact with employees that help leaders drive the creation of strategy and delivery of results - Practical ways to leverage employee networks to increase commitment and build community among future leaders

Who should attend

The conference is a must attend for Human Resources leaders, Leadership and Early Career Development professionals, Talent Management professionals, senior business leaders interested in developing high potential talent and those responsible for talent acquisition, learning and employee development, and succession planning.

Experience Maps Accelerate Leader DevelopmentThere’s something for everyone to dislike about how companies develop talent today. Employers are frustrated that expensive learning investments yield questionable results. Managers are frustrated that complex development processes deliver little value.

A new approach called Experience Maps makes it far easier to develop employees and communicate career opportunities. In this session you’ll learn:

•How to use Experience Maps to assess capabilities and accelerate talent growth•How to realign your organization to extract the full power of experiences•How to quickly build functional Experience Maps in your company
