Managing Talent in the Era of AI
Changes to the workforce, demographic pressures, new business strategies, emerging technologies and the shift towards ‘skills-based’ talent strategies among other factors are leading many organisations to rethink their approaches to talent management. Our latest research and this invitation-only event will take stock of the major developments in this field and consider how organisations can update their talent strategies to achieve better business outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Take stock of the major trends affecting the supply and development of talent and the implications for talent management practices.
- Consider what ‘skills-based’ means in reality and explore the benefits and pitfalls.
- Explore how organisations can take a longer-term and joined-up view of talent management to better support execution of the business strategy.
- Identify the major technology trends, what they mean for the workforce and how they can be used to improve talent practices.
