A Framework for Leveraging Your High Potential Leadership Talent: Identify, Engage, Develop, Retain, and Deploy Your High Potential Leaders

With all the focus on “HiPo’s” why are only 15% of organizations satisfied with their high potential practices? Why do up to 40% of high potential promotions fail and 25% of high potentials intend to leave their organizations within the next year? This seminar offers practical guidelines for choosing the best identification, management, and development strategies, considering the dual perspectives of the organization and the high potential leaders themselves.

•How are high potentials different? What makes them tick?

•How can you target limited resources to have the biggest impact?

•Where are you most likely to lose your top talent and what can you do to keep them?

•How do you identify and develop high-potentials across transition points?

•What outcomes can be expected from a well-managed high potential talent strategy?

•Take the guesswork out of managing your high potential talent resources and benefit from the latest research conducted by PDI Ninth House and Bersin & Associates.

Unconscious Bias in Talent DecisionsIf you ask talent management professionals what some of their major challenges are, one of the top concerns is how to increase diversity in the pipeline and reduce bias in talent management decision making. Although corporate hiring has improved on the front end, retention and underutilization of diverse talent threatens the ability of our organizations to reflect and serve our diverse customer base. Organizations that have invested in diversity are finding that the new frontier in making a difference in filling our pipelines with diverse talent is trying to manage unconscious bias. This session will look at innovative ways on how to mitigate unconscious bias in talent decisions by providing targeted intervention to talent management decision makers.
