PROGRAMME PURPOSE: Ask any CEO, HR Director, or Business Leader and he/she will tell you that finding and keeping key talent is one of their biggest concerns. A lack of succession planning for leaders and key experts is like coaching a soccer team with only first-string players—everything is great until you lose a key player with no one on the bench ready to play, leaving a gaping hole and an advantage for the competitor. Talent is the new engine of the present economy. So much so that Organisations with foresight focus on keeping the people who keep their company in business.
Are you responsible for planning and executing the talent management strategy, talent review meetings, succession & talent agenda, high potential leadership programs and leadership development? This practical and interactive HRCI Pre-Approved workshop is for you!
Whether you are enhancing a current talent review-succession strategy or implementing this as a new strategy, you will take away new ideas, tools, best practice advice and pitfalls to avoid. The program includes strategic issues, project plan ideas & templates and practical “ready-to-use” tools and templates. Facilitated based on years of practical application by Adebayo Akinloye, Assc.CIPD, ACIPM. The sessions will cover the details in the Talent Benchstrength® books published by Doris Sims Spies, SPHR; The Talent Review Meeting Facilitator’s Guide, and the 30-Minute Guide to Talent & Succession Management. This workshop also equips you with practical information and tools you can use on the job to plan and implement a Talent Review and Succession Management program in your organisation.
