Talent and Management Development Summit 2008

Nurturing Functional and Leadership Skills, Aligning Performance and Potential and Lowering Recruitment Costs

Thursday 9th October 2008, The Hatton, London EC1N

Summary

Since the arrival of McKinsey’s notion of the ‘war for talent’ in the mid nineties, talent and management development have been steadily making their way up the business agenda. Today it is widely accepted that the implementation of talent and management development strategies is critical to ensure that companies attract and retain the right people for their organisation. Yet according to research carried out by the Cranfield School of Management, 51% of UK employers are still failing to implement an effective talent management strategy across their organisation.

Symposium Events’ 3rd Annual Talent and Management Development Summit 2008 will help you develop strategies to uncover and maximise talent across your organisation and give you the tools to develop the management potential of your employees. You will have the opportunity to hear from leading case studies such as Goldman Sachs, Amey, Tesco and Aviva, providing you with the necessary tools to create a truly productive workforce.
