THE FUTURE OF TALENT
Strategies to Accelerate Upskilling and Transformation

An executive evening for talent leaders at the Financial Times
Over the past few years, the role of Learning and Development has gone through significant change. From tactical to strategic, L&D has become the catalyst for talent retention, leadership development and business transformation.
Yet, empowering teams to stay ahead of change while ensuring alignment throughout the wider organisation remains a challenge for most CLOs and L&D leaders.
Rethinking talent strategy across all levels
Join a group of talent leaders at the Financial Times on Thursday 14 March where FT senior business writer Andrew Hill and international L&D leader Nick van Dam will facilitate an intimate conversation on the topics that will define the future of our industry.
Together we will explore how the definition of 'talent' is changing, and how scalable learning solutions can nurture leadership at all levels of the organisation.
Hear from industry experts, network and connect with other senior talent leaders, from companies including Vodafone, Oracle, VISA, KPMG, Microsoft, Metlife Europe, Slaughter & May, BNY Mellon & Colliers International.
All discussion will be under Chatham House Rule.

Dive into topics that will define the future of our industry
- Why do leadership development programmes fail?
- What are the factors that lead to lasting impact?
- How to design for behaviour change and mindset shift?
- How to build trust in a virtual context?
