About the Event
Organizations across the world are experiencing a ‘Great Generational Shift’ in the workforce. This is the post-Baby Boomer shift that demographers and workforce planners have been anticipating for decades. It is not only a shift in the numbers, but a critical turning point in
the norms and values of the workforce. The challenge of developing the next generation of leadership is not just at the CEO level, but in the various functions of the organization and the current predicament in organizations is that the majority of next generation leaders are not ready and do not have the skills necessary to lead. Thus, a proactive approach to developing the next generation of leaders should exude insight about the great generational shift, foresight about the future workforce needs and trends, future global trends in business and leaders hip, and then talent development. Join us as we explore how leaders can be proactive in building competent next-gen leaders. The summit will cover the following:
On a micro level, leaders need to focus on three key strategies:
- Anticipating the next transition and prepare for it
- Staffing and succession planning at every level
- High -potential identification
- Employee retention, development and support for emerging leaders.
