How do we ensure we have the talent we need to win? This question tops many CEO's priority lists. And yet, HR continues to struggle to meet this challenge because we are trapped in antiquated talent definitions and management processes from the past.
The future demands a radically different approach to talent. To chart a new path requires a new mindset. We must begin by understanding where we are today and how we got here.
Workplace Application:
Design more effective talent management strategies by understanding the history of talent management practice and trends affecting the future of work.
Learning Objectives:

• Explore the very definition of talent to uncover where the
  linkage between talent management and business results is
  lacking.
  Understand the history and evolution of current talent
  management practices as a foundation for understanding
  where innovation is critical.
• Discover three approaches for HR leaders to use as they
  create the future of talent management including talent
  cultivation, studying humans instead of best practices, and
  giving power to the people through approaches like internal
  crowdsourcing.

For nearly a decade, he spent his days in the belly of the beast as a corporate Human Resources leader where he had to actually "walk the talk" each day. Today, he consults with organizations to help them transform how they approach talent and leadership development. Since his first management job as a corn detasseling team leader at age 13, Jason has been studying people and why they do what they do.
