    Talent Pool or Talent Puddle? How Deep is Your Succession PlanningAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: December 16, 2009
    The talent-pool approach to succession planning has emerged as a strategic best practice that establishes a larger number of employees for promotion -"bench strength"-who are more likely to stay loyal and whose skills are best aligned with the organization's strategic plans. Leading succession planning experts recognize that many organizations confuse replacement planning for true succession planning, which focuses on developing people to build overall bench strength. Despite the current downturn, many organizations are still faced with competency shortfalls. This means succession planning strategies and tools must effectively nurture and develop a deep pool of people to draw from, with the know-how to support the organization's strategic direction. Succession is not just about grooming executives for the C-level. It is about creating career paths at all levels and tying it to performance. This webcast will cover how to implement systematic succession planning using talent pools to gain a competitive edge in a knowledge economy.

  • Define competencies and development plans around skill groups (pools)
  • Include the right metrics to provide the needed information for succession decisions

    Realizing the ROI of Your Talent Investment: Do you meet or exceed expectations?Available to Executive Members

    Webcast: October 27, 2009
    When it comes to managing and developing talent, the full support of your company's business leaders is crucial.

Top companies align talent competencies with their overall business strategy, and reinforce expectations through performance management and 360 degree feedback. At a time when every investment is scrutinized for its return, this webcast will help you fortify your business case for investments in valuable talent assets. more »
