Choosing a Talent Management Strategy
There is no doubt that talent is a key asset in most organizations and as a result, it is a (the most) important determinant of an organizations performance. Key to making it a positive driver of performance is adopting a talent management approach that fits the business strategy of an organization. How this choice should be made will be the focus of this session. Several different talent strategies will be described and evaluated. Particular, attention will be paid to the "travel light" and "commitment to talent development" approaches, how they operate, where they fit, and examples of them in action will be considered.

Global Talent Management
How can global organizations create a truly integrated talent management system, that enables leaders, managers, employees and even contractors to clearly see the current and future pockets of talent demand and supply"? This was the dilemma facing IBM. How to create a global workforce initiative to support the strategic need a globally integrated enterprise that could move talent from anywhere in the organization to work opportunities located anywhere in the world. John Boudreau will facilitate a discussion of his new case study on IBM's evolution, and its implications for the future of global talent management, and how to "retool" talent management using proven business models such as inventory and pipeline optimization.

The Anatomy of a High Potential
A company's high potential list is one of its most valuable assets. In recent research, Jay Conger has studied a variety of company initiatives for high potential leaders and to understand who are the high potentials with long "career runways." Interviews revealed that what differentiated high potentials was rarely a result of an individual's capacity to develop the skills from his or her company's competency profile more effectively than colleagues. Organizations are filled with highly valued contributors, but organizational success is often determined by a select few who deliver disproportionate value to their companies - a group who can be called the game changers. The true high potentials. In this presentation, we will examine the elements that differentiated these game changers from the value creators and what are the implications for those responsible for developing this cadre of next-generation leaders. The session will be a guide to both the tangible and intangible components of a high potential's makeup.
