An Integrated Approach to HR
Workplace Application: If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. In this session, you will learn how to do both.
500 CEOs in a recent survey indicated their disappointment in their HR departments because in their opinion, HR rarely brings a strategic initiative to the “C-level.” In case you haven’t noticed, the “C-evel” has a persnickety need for objective analysis. So what’s the big deal--give them what they want--an objective integrated approach to the people side of business. Give them the analysis from the tools that make a difference. This session is filled with the latest information in dynamic vs. static testing, employee engagement surveys and the critical elements that 90% of survey companies miss, planning from succession to selection, competency evaluation, and how to blend 360s with behavioral test results.
Presenter: Bill F. Wagner, CEO, Accord Management Systems, Thousand Oaks, Calif.

The Global Leadership Pipeline- Organizational Obstacles and Solutions
Workplace Application: The session will center on the cross-border challenges associated with attracting, developing, and retaining talent in key growth markets.
Rapid globalization, uncertain economic times, and the increased demand for global leaders make talent management in the 21st century an ever more challenging for multinationals. The "permanent whitewater" of our work environment of the past 10 years has made formal reporting structures, job descriptions, and "one-size-fits-all" policies obsolete. For many organizations, recruitment and retention strategies, succession planning, and talent development practices are inadequate to meet the needs of a global workforce. Key topics for this session include:
• Centralized versus decentralized policies and programs;
• Recruitment and retention in growth economies;
• Truly global leadership competency; and
• Culturally informed evaluation and developing global leaders.
Presenter: Terry Hogan, Global Talent Management, Aperian Global, Southbury, Conn.
