If you are concerned about what your workforce will look like after this recession or if you are struggling with developing a talent strategy and how to balance the trends in the economy with the supply of talent, you will find this an engaging and worthwhile event.

Kevin Wheeler, founder of the Future of Talent Institute, along with executive director, Susan Burns, and a selected group of your peers, will introduce you to the Institute and the kinds of research and activities that it undertakes by holding a discussion about emerging trends, their implications for organizations of all sizes, and their impact on talent and work. Over the past five years, the Future of Talent Institute has brought mid- to senior-level HR, and talent leaders from around the globe together to learn about and explore emerging trends and issues in talent management, employee development, retention and recruitment.

By focusing on these interconnected elements of Talent the Institute helps you architect a more holistic, actionable and effective talent strategy to prepare for the future and attract, develop and retain talent. Our research is conducted globally and represents the advanced thinking of academics and practitioners in a variety of sectors.

This get together will be held on Thursday, July 16th, from 8:00 am to – 1:30 pm at Best Buy Headquarters in Minneapolis. We encourage corporate practitioners from leadership development, learning and development, OD, succession planning, workforce planning, and staffing/recruiting to attend.
