TALENT MANAGEMENT FORUM 2008 - 9th October

The Business Case for Talent Management

How do you ensure you get your return on investment – sourcing, developing and retaining talent?

We live in a world where every business defines “People as their greatest asset”, in a world where all organisations are increasingly competing for talented people in an environment where demand outstrips supply.

This event provides you with a single holistic picture of the challenges faced and best practices developed by companies at the forefront of Talent Management.

The forum will look at the strategic relevance of talent management from defining the strategies, the significance of the pool of talent for your business and understanding how the skills and capabilities will need to change with the changing needs of your business.

Do you have the mechanisms and the management skills to effectively access your current and future competency and capability?

How do you effectively attract and select, to broaden and deepen the talent pool in your organisation?
