Keynote: Marc Effron, The Talent Strategy Group
One Page Talent Management: Secrets for Building Better Talent Faster
Learn a powerful, simple approach to accelerate the development of talent in your organization

Measuring Your Talent Management in One View
There are many ways to approach the various elements of Talent Management, but ultimately you need results. Are your initiatives, processes and new tools giving you the desired effect of developing, retaining and organizing your talent? To really understand the dynamics of your talent pipeline, you need to be able to visualize the areas where people are moving in, out and up. Discover how you can measure the success of your talent management programs in one concise view. Many of you may now be spending days pulling this data together manually for your C-Suite and your board. Stop wasting valuable resources. We’ll demonstrate how you can now do it automatically.

Identifying Talent You May Not Know You Have
While succession planning certainly involves the knowledge that managers have about their direct reports, it’s critical that you search your organization’s entire talent pool to find the best possible successor choices. There are always stand-out candidates working in other departments, states or even countries. Would you be able to find them?

Modeling — The Reorg After the Reorg
The last 24 months have included some major reorganizations through mergers, downsizing or the shifting of talent. Now it’s time to restructure your organization again, not only to refine those big moves of the past, but also to better position the company for new waves of growth. This time plan your reorg quickly and efficiently using an automated solution. We have a tool that makes planning easy and repeatable—because as you know, change is inevitable!

Fixing Bad Data and the ROI for the Effort
Bad data impacts too many areas of operation to simply overlook it. Learn how companies are cleaning up their data quickly and the amazing places where they are finding a return on their investment.

Generating the Right Reports for the Right People
All the workforce software in the world can’t help you if you don’t have a way to deliver that information to the right people. Sometimes the entire reason for an implementation can be shown by looking at the end result data. But are the right people seeing that data? Learn how you can: measure and compare before-and-after data from a reorganization; analyze the demographics of your workforce; compare individual profiles to assess succession and leadership potential; and learn how to distribute this information to the right people at any time.

Shouldn’t Your Succession Plan Go Further Down the Organization? Building the Case
Succession planning was traditionally for the executive suite only. These days, though, no company can afford to risk not having a succession plan in place for all critical roles within the company. Learn how to build the case for implementing a comprehensive succession planning process that includes all of your human capital assets.

Use Your Org Charts More Strategically
Org charts may seem like simple business diagrams, but some of the best companies in the world are using their organizational charts as strategic tools. We’ll show you how to benefit from these best practices used by top organizations. By leveraging your org charts for strategic initiatives you’ll collect an even greater return on the software investment you’ve already made.

Breakfast

Al Adamsen — People Centered Strategies, LLC
The Decision Science of HR: Workforce Planning & Analytics Like Marketing is for Sales and Finance is for Accounting, Workforce Planning and Analytics is the “decision science” for Human Resources. And although it’s a science, it’s not as difficult as it may seem. You’ll learn that it can be relatively simple when you’re equipped with the right people, processes, and technologies. This presentation will also provide key distinctions between planning and analytics which, in turn, will show credible ways in which appropriate data can be integrated into the process of formulating and executing talent management strategies.

Structured for Success — Too Flat or Too Tall?
If your organization is too flat, you have bandwidth problems; if it’s too tall, you may have bureaucracy problems. This session will help you find the problem structures in your organization. We’ll discuss how the organizational design may be causing you problems as well as how to address them.

TBD

Lunch

TBD

Decentralized vs. Centralized Succession Planning Pros and Cons
Does HR control your succession planning process or is it left to each individual manager or division head? Discover the pros and cons of both methods and learn about their very different rules of engagement.

You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See
Workforce data is too often broken, inaccurate and missing critical elements. Typically no single person or team can identify and fix all the problems. Instead, you have to make the data visible to the people in the know — often the employees themselves or, occasionally, the engaged manager. Let them help you clean it up quickly and correctly. We’ll show you how.

Do Your Org Charts Look Like the Ones You Saw in the Sales Demo?
Would your bland org charts look the same on a black-and-white TV as they would on a new high-def flat screen? Do your charts contain only names and job titles? If you answer yes to either of these questions you’re not getting the full value of our product. Those amazing org charts you saw during Aquire’s sales demonstration can be yours. Let us show you how to implement the helpful and powerful tools that will make the most of your investment. This is a must-see session!
