Ochre House Annual HR Directors' Symposium 2010
Sponsored by MrTed, KnowledgePool and Talent2

Making your people your Competitive Advantage

Global events over the past few years have fundamentally changed the business landscape. Organisations now need to be more agile than ever, reacting quickly to changing market drivers and new business strategies.

In this new world order the ultimate competitive advantage for any business will be its people and the ability to rapidly change, bringing the talent agenda to the centre of business strategy execution.

All of which gives rise to the question: what exactly is a truly talent centric organisation?

Date: 13th May 2010
Venue: Wentworth Club, Surrey

This event for Senior HR professionals and other business leaders aims to give you an insight into the latest strategic thinking on what a talent centric organisation could look like and its importance to the future health and success of businesses.

It will also challenge accepted theories of talent management and examine what needs to change to turn it from aspiration into reality. You will have an opportunity to learn what other organisations are doing to align their talent practices through presentations, case studies by guest speakers and roundtable discussions.
