Join us for this exclusive, invite-only retreat for staffing leadership, The Future of Talent III
For the third year, we are convening an elite group of talent leaders from around the world on October 28-30. These 25 leaders along with an eclectic faculty of academics, practitioners, researchers and writers will jointly explore the edges of the talent universe.Using a structured brainstorming technique that Elieen Clegg, one of our faculty, and Kevin Wheeler have been perfecting over the past decade, we will develop a “map” of the future of talent. Each participant will have the opportunity to contribute and after the event the map will be available online for further input and discussion.We will dig into Web 2.0 and see what it means for talent -- from acquisition to development to succession planning to retention. Is there anything really different in Web 2.0? Is there a Web 3.0 emerging as well?
Do global cultural preferences influence our attitudes toward technology and the way we use it for both recruiting and development? Chris Schoch will lead us in some storytelling and discussions to explore the dimensions of culture and talent.Jay Cross will take the point in leading a provocative panel in discussion of the Web 2.0 technologies as well as a panel of young folks who will tell us how they really feel about work, life and their careers.We will also immerse ourselves in SecondLife and other emergent worlds as Eilif Trondson of SRI Consulting take us on a journey into whether their hype is real and what promises they hold for recruitment and for employee development. After all, several large global organizations have invested millions in developing virtual career fairs and virtual leadership development experiences using these tools.
And, of course, Kevin Wheeler will kick the retreat off by recapping the emerging trends and issues that will either cause us great pain or great joy over the next five years. This should fuel our brainstorming and energize our thinking throughout the retreat. And, as usual, we will take a few hours to enjoy the coast of California and hike, explore and do something fun and unusual that will be revealed after we arrive.
