A pre-Conference 2005 Symposium
Monday, August 8th, 2005 8:00am to 4:00pm
BMO Financial Group Institute for Learning
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
|
Organizations are one of the most powerful forces in our world today, impacting global and national economies and shaping societies.
Therefore, it’s essential that organizations are well structured, and that those running organizations are right for the roles and are able to take decisions appropriate to the size and shape of their organizations as well as for their business context.
The workshop will provide a robust, flexible and dynamic framework for ensuring organizations are able to maximize market opportunities, provide a focused and well-developed pool of talent for the long term and still contribute to society.
What Thought-Leaders say...
At times when many organisations have the power to influence global and national economies and impact societies, thought leaders are becoming increasingly concerned about the lack of attention paid to talent management and in particular to CEO succession.
Ram Charan HBR "the CEO succession process in broken in North America and is no better in many part of the world". He goes on to say that CEO tenure is down to an average of 7 years (in Europe this figure is significantly lower) and two out of five CEOs fail in the first two years.
A recent review of 400 companies across Europe showed that Corporate Boards felt they managed risk well yet managed Executive succession poorly!
