57% of CEOs tell Gartner they plan to increase their investments in people and culture development.

You need the right game plan, but also the right managers leading the charge. 

Join this boardroom to dive into: 

• Identifying often overlooked skillsets and intangibles of talent
• Providing the right environment to get the most out of your rising stars

A recent Gartner survey finds 95% of CHROs are currently restructuring their function, or plan to start soon. As broader enterprise change continues without pause, how can HR leaders maximize resources and embark on a transformation journey that evolves with their organization?

Join this case study for insights on why now is the perfect time to:

• Streamline workforce processes and a strong HR infrastructure 
• Utilize inside-out and outside-in cultural transformation 
• Incorporate proven programs for developing diverse leadership skillset

A Gartner study found most of the time when organizations fill leadership positions, they aren't hiring preidentified successors. The biggest succession plan gaps were actually found at positions with higher turnover. How do you make sure your organization is prepared to backfill its most critical roles.

 Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Identifying crucible roles and stretch assignments
• Building systems to match competencies with skills gaps
• Making the workforce part of the process

Join this session as your peers discuss ways to:

• Creating belonging at scale
• Embedding DEI in talent philosophies
• Building a business case for DEI
