[ACTIVITY-BASED SESSION]
TALENT ACCERLERATION
Accelerating HR Leadership with Strategic Talent Management in 2024

You need to take a holistic view of your talent pipeline, from your C-level executives down deep into your organization’s talent pool.

This Lecture-discussion on talent acceleration will shed some light on the following questions:

• Does your organization lack a sufficient pool of leadership talent to address its needs?
• Does your organization possess a strategic framework for the transition and continuity of leadership roles?
• Is succession planning integrated into your strategic framework?
• Can your organization effectively manage the loss of key leaders without a strategic succession plan in place?
