Building an Effective Workforce by Leveraging Technology
Panelist: It's no secret that the federal human capital landscape is changing, and as a result, many federal agencies are under extraordinary pressure to bring more talent more quickly into the organization. To do so, they must brand their agencies in ways that distinguish themselves not only from the private sector but from each other, as well as process and evaluate ever greater numbers of applicants, all under a shifting regulatory environment. Once that brand is established, they must access more highly qualified candidates by processing more applications faster and better than before. In this session, learn how government leaders are connecting their agencies with quality job seekers by leveraging innovative technology. The discussion will begin with recent responses to ongoing hiring reform initiatives and focus on the underlying core challenge facing government today: how to make the government agency employment proposition more attractive and competitive to targeted segments of the labor pool.

Workforce Planning: Field Notes from the WWF Introduction
Introduction:
Keynote: Imagine this challenge. You need to deploy experts to protect freshwater sources in distant parts of the developing world. The problem is that most of these highly trained professionals live in the United States or Europe and have no interest in living in areas such as Central Africa or China. The World Wildlife Fund faces these dilemmas every day. To make it more complicated, while the WWF is finding highly skilled talent in developing countries , it has to mobilize talent from inside the organization on a short-term basis. And on top of that, the WWF does not know its talent as well as it could and therefore short change itself when it comes to having a large enough pool to mobilize. Sound familiar? Find out how this case study is relevant to your own organization by learning from the outside looking in. Key Takeaways:

Achieving High Performance Through Innovations in Talent Management
Presenters: Talent management has emerged as a priority for senior executives as organizations respond not only to the impact of the ongoing economic downturn, but also to the challenge of transforming their workforces over the longer term to deal with anticipated shortages of critical talent. For public service organizations, collaborating and sharing practices that can help them become more productive and deliver greater value is vital at a time when much more is expected. Organizations that build superior talent management capabilities around their most important workforces not only will be able to more effectively carry out their mission, but they also will be in a better position to achieve high performance today and in the years to come. Accenture will lead a panel discussion on how federal agencies can develop their own organizational agility and talent model. Key Takeaways:
