“Practical Steps to De-Risk Talent Mobility

Many organizations are turning their attention to talent mobility with the strategic goal of positively impacting engagement, retention, and diversity.  While the potential gains are clear, we are still in the early stages of developing a set of agreed best practices.  In this session, we will hear from two organizations who are on this journey.  HB Fuller will share practical lessons learned as they have evolved the way they prepare talent to assume critical leader roles in the future. IBM will also share how they are taking targeted action to support what they call the “success assurance” of leaders who are assuming new step-up or lateral executive assignments – a step often overlooked by organizations.

“Amplify Growth: Revolutionizing Learning and Development with AI

With executives and high-potential leaders having privileged access, attempts to scale L&D for the broader workforce face significant challenges due to the costs associated with one-to-one coaching and in-depth development programs. This limitation hampers employee engagement, retention, and organizational agility while exacerbating disparities for underrepresented groups. This presentation delves into the essential elements of effective L&D, examining the current disparities in access across organizational levels. We explore the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a solution to this impasse, emphasizing the critical role of technical skills in addressing the evolving skills gap. Join us to explore how AI can unlock scalable L&D capabilities, fostering growth, engagement, and mobility within organizations.

“The Future of Talent Analytics”

With advancements in AI and machine learning, and a healthy dose of economics, companies can leverage real-time employee data to achieve data-driven talent optimization and fundamentally transform productivity. Join Dr. Roland G. Fryer, award-winning Harvard economist and founder of Sigma Squared, as he shares how analytics, informed by decades of proven social science, can help companies successfully navigate this transition by investing in robust data infrastructures, building a culture that embraces data-driven decision-making, and focusing on optimization (not benchmarking).

“Fueling Talent Mobility with Better Skills Data”

As many organizations consider how to get started with a skills-based talent strategy, they soon discover that the scope and required effort can be quite “immobilizing”.  As organizations look to technology to support their enterprise-wide collection of skills information, they are doubling down on scale at the expense of rigor.  This can have direct implications on the subjectivity and accuracy of the talent decisions that this skills information is fueling.  In this session, we will showcase how organizations can leverage assessments to enhance the integrity of the skills data that they use to match talent to roles and business challenges.

“The ONA Hype Cycle and Why This Time is Different”

Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) has experienced several waves of interest followed by skepticism, as use cases fail to deliver on promised value. In today's era of automated, augmented, and distributed work, its importance has resurged, proving critical for navigating workplace complexities. This talk will explore ONA's evolution and provide real-world examples of use cases that show why this time is different.

“Fair AI in Talent Optimization: Driving Innovation and Inclusion”

Artificial Intelligence offers transformative potential for optimizing talent management, enabling organizations to harness data-driven insights for recruitment, development, and retention strategies to reveal overlooked and under-appreciated talent. However, the human biases and inefficiencies that AI tools are poised to mitigate can be reinforced unwittingly if these solutions aren’t designed with fairness and objectivity in mind. Led by Dr. Tanaya Devi, Harvard labor economist specialized in education, workforce outcomes, and organizational decision making, this session will discuss how companies can apply AI to unlock the full potential of their workforce while upholding ethical standards and promoting diversity.

“What Got You to Management Won’t Get You to C-Suite: Potential Is Level-Specific”

Our study of 13,000 leaders confirmed that people show potential for a specific level of management. Leadership is not one job; it differs based on the level in organizational hierarchy. We found that a different combination of characteristics predicted success in frontline vs. midlevel vs. senior management roles. The implications for talent management are vast: rather than viewing one’s career as a linear, stepwise advancement through the corporate ladder, we should consider matching people with the level of leadership they show the most potential for. Leadership potential is like an elevator and organizations and people must know which floor to get off at. In this session, we present findings from our global study of leadership potential, offer a model to conceptualize and measure it, and discuss recommendations for implementing the concepts within talent management practices.
