THOUGHT LEADERS CONTRIBUTING TO OUR COMMUNITY
The controversy has begun! 2010 is already off to a great start with dynamic conversations and diverse perspectives among our Learning Leaders on Building Tomorrow’s Workforce.
At the core, companies today face some of the most challenging tasks for ENGAGING a changing workforce to DRIVE BUSINESS RESULTS that is radically different than previously seen. Even though different companies use different terminology, it’s clear that TALENT MAKES A DIFFERENCE and EXECUTION only happens when everyone in our organization is fully ENGAGED & FOCUSED on the same business goals.
At the last Chicagoland Learning Leaders conference, Mark Bocianski moderated our CLO/CTO Panel and announced the Fortune Magazine/Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders 2009 Study Results are published in November (click here for highlights on Hewitt’s website). Check out page 5 of Research Highlights -- North America, which provides a non-traditional insight on where top companies are looking … "The next generation of leaders isn’t only found in an organization’s high-potential pool, however. More and more, leading companies are recognizing that next-generation talent can come from anywhere; and that the ability to attract, assess, and develop leaders seamlessly across roles, functions, and geographies is a necessary and differentiating strategy". This means that learning and talent development needs to reach deeper with programs that engage more a larger, more diverse, less skilled & more virtual talent pool with greater efficiency.
