For almost every company, no asset is more valuable or more difficult to manage than people.

In his keynote address, Ed will share a very personal account of what he has learned, including key truths about human behavior and interaction that can make or break a business. Additionally, he will delve into the subject of how to practically approach the challenges of building an integrated Talent Management function that is aligned with the strategy of the business.

This is a great chance to experience the unique perspective of a business leader who started in the Personnel office and has played an active role in evolving the way companies approach many aspects of Human Resources and Talent Management today.

Don't miss: Integrated Talent Management: The Drivers, the Challenges, and Keys to Making it Work

Ed Newman
Leader, Futurestep U.S.
President, The Newman Group, a Futurestep Company

There are many pieces to today’s talent management puzzle, from sourcing and talent acquisition to performance management and succession planning. When it comes to driving the company’s vision and strategy, the key to success for talent planners is to bring those components together to create an effective, integrated talent management capability. 

In this session, talent strategy expert Ed Newman will provide a business-first perspective on integrated talent management. He will cover the needs driving the integrated approach, key talent management processes, and innovative approaches to understanding, planning and developing an integrated talent management strategy. He will share insight on the ingredients to success, including:

Strategy and the Importance of Workforce Planning: What is the role of Workforce Planning in driving the talent management strategy? How sophisticated does your workforce planning capability need to be?

Integration of Processes: Organization design, talent acquisition, performance management, succession planning and more—what does it take to integrate key processes? We will explore the answers, and introduce a practical “Black Box” planning approach to mapping the give and take of data and activity between these processes.

The Common Language of Competencies: Competency modeling capability and the ability to assess people against competencies is essential. Why is competency management important, and how does it provide the common language or “DNA” for integrated talent management?

Scalability and the Role of Technology: Today’s tools and technology solutions provide the means to achieve scalability in talent management function. We’ll look at today’s solutions and how they are driving the evolution of integrated talent management.

Andy Rice
Principal Consultant, The Newman Group

Lower turnover. Higher productivity. Improved business agility. The promises of integrated talent management are great, but the devil is truly in the details. In 2009, Dow Corning, a global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation set out to tackle those details prior to embarking on a new talent technology implementation effort. In the process, the company faced critical questions of practicality in the integrated talent management conversation. What does it take to connect the silos of learning and development, recruiting, performance management, leadership development, succession planning and compensation? What information has to flow? What does each area contribute from each of the others? What does each area receive?  How do you develop a strategy that makes sense of it all and bring the promise to reality? 

In this session, Ed Colbert, Global Director of Talent Management for Dow Corning and Global Talent Management Strategy experts Ed Newman and Andy Rice of The Newman Group provide the answer as they  unveil a proprietary framework for developing a practical, actionable integrated talent management strategy. The framework is based on the classic “black box” analysis method—an approach that has roots in large engineering projects and draws from key elements in Six Sigma “SIPOC” analysis (Suppliers, Inputs, Processes, Outputs, Consumers).  By applying the black box approach, you can map the precise needs of each function in talent management, create a precise flow for connecting those functions, and at the same time, allow the specialists in each of those proverbial silos to continue focusing on what they do best. 

Attendees will learn about key facets to the black box  Integrated Talent Management approach, including:

-  A Look at the Black Box Analysis Process (Analyzing Objectives, Activities, Inputs, Outputs, and Assumptions)
-  Mapping the Processes of Integrated Talent Management
-  Defining the Goal/”Future-State”
-  Creating a Strategy

This is an important session for anyone involved in HR or talent strategy decision-making, and provides insight that can take your strategic planning to a new level of impact.
