Despite all that is known about the importance of developing talent, and despite the great sums of money dedicated to systems and processes that support talent management, an astonishing number of companies still struggle to fill key positions—which puts a considerable constraint on their potential to grow.  There are the rare exceptions; companies prepared to face the future with confidence because they don’t just manage talent, they build what we call “talent factories.” These companies understand what it takes to develop and retain key employees and fill positions quickly to meet evolving business needs.

Join us for this TrainingIndustry.com webinar, presented by UNC Executive Development, to learn how you can transform your organization into a talent factory. Our presenter, Doug Ready, has authored and co-authored more than 35 articles on leadership, change, and organizational effectiveness, including the Harvard Business Review articles “Are You a High Potential?” (June 2010); “Winning the Race for Talent in Emerging Markets” (November 2008); “Make Your Company a Talent Factory” (June 2007); and an upcoming HBR article in December, 2011: “Harnessing the Power of Collective Ambition”..

During this webinar, we will:

• Learn about the best practices of companies that are viewed as robust talent factories.
• Understand the key ingredients that differentiate talent factories from companies that simply try to “manage their talent.”
• Discuss the roles of the CEO, top management team, line bosses, HR and “targeted talent” in building a culture of leadership and talent.
• Understand the special circumstances surrounding winning the race for talent in emerging markets.
• Learn about metrics used to determine if your company is winning the talent race.
