  Managing Talent in a Bear Market
7 October 2008
From 8:00am Registration & Breakfast
   
9:00am to 10.30am Session 1: How do you manage in a Bear market?

Boards will adopt new business plans to cope with a bear market. The HR team needs to be involved in this decision-making, as the people in the business are likely to bear the heaviest burden. Who stays, who goes? How to negotiate the practical constraints to "rightsizing" the business and what real options are available. And once the plan has been agreed, who leads the change programme?
   
10:30am to 11.00am Coffee Break
   
11:00am to 12.30pm

Session 2: Will your Management Model Survive?

Examining the strategies of failing businesses and looking at how they have been transformed by turnaround specialists, can highlight obvious pitfalls, and solutions that are more widely applicable. Through case studies and a practical insight this session will look at what lessons can be used to make the necessary changes to the people agenda.

2:00pm to 3.30pm

Session 3: How does your talent model need to change?

When business survival is the goal, does Talent management have to become Performance management? The notion of whether Talent management should be transformed to Performance management will be examined. This session will consider whether the two are mutually exclusive or whether they can comfortably co-exist.

How does an organisation change the talent agenda from growth to contraction, from investment for the future to living for today? How to prevent the need for short-term profit and cash flow from destroying a hard earned culture of respect for the employee?
