“Practical Steps to De-Risk Talent Mobility”
Many organizations are turning their attention to talent mobility with the strategic goal of positively impacting engagement, retention, and diversity. While the potential gains are clear, we are still in the early stages of developing a set of agreed best practices. In this session, we will hear from two organizations who are on this journey. HB Fuller will share practical lessons learned as they have evolved the way they prepare talent to assume critical leader roles in the future. IBM will also share how they are taking targeted action to support what they call the “success assurance” of leaders who are assuming new step-up or lateral executive assignments – a step often overlooked by organizations.

“Amplify Growth: Revolutionizing Learning and Development with AI”
With executives and high-potential leaders having privileged access, attempts to scale L&D for the broader workforce face significant challenges due to the costs associated with one-to-one coaching and in-depth development programs. This limitation hampers employee engagement, retention, and organizational agility while exacerbating disparities for underrepresented groups. This presentation delves into the essential elements of effective L&D, examining the current disparities in access across organizational levels. We explore the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a solution to this impasse, emphasizing the critical role of technical skills in addressing the evolving skills gap. Join us to explore how AI can unlock scalable L&D capabilities, fostering growth, engagement, and mobility within organizations.

Join Dr. Roland G. Fryer, award-winning Harvard economist and founder of Sigma Squared, as he shares how analytics, informed by decades of proven social science, can help companies successfully navigate this transition by investing in robust data infrastructures, building a culture that embraces data-driven decision-making, and focusing on optimization (not benchmarking).

“Fueling Talent Mobility with Better Skills Data”
As many organizations consider how to get started with a skills-based talent strategy, they soon discover that the scope and required effort can be quite “immobilizing”. As organizations look to technology to support their enterprise-wide collection of skills information, they are doubling down on scale at the expense of rigor. This can have direct implications on the subjectivity and accuracy of the talent decisions that this skills information is fueling. In this session, we will showcase how organizations can leverage assessments to enhance the integrity of the skills data that they use to match talent to roles and business challenges.
