Organizations frequently struggle with how to best develop their talent assets.  They invest in classroom training, eLearning courses and others.  Yet at the end of the day, how far has the organization moved the needle – are they really developing their people based on today’s business needs?

The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Rod Johnson, founder and President of Growing Your Leaders, to the January 13 St. Paul breakfast discussion: “Rethinking Talent Development that Meets the Needs of the 21st Century.”

Rod will facilitate a highly interactive program and will provide a quick overview of what’s working and what’s not in the learning & development space.  The knowledge of the room will then be challenged to tackle these issues utilizing the Peer Insight process.  Upon listening to the panel discussion, you will be encouraged to:

Reimagine how you develop talent assets inside an organization.

Rethink how to best develop soft skills in individuals with a hard skills mindset.

Connect content to context in every learning initiative.

Leverage the knowledge in the room in a talent development initiative.

Come experience what’s possible for talent development.  Share your ideas, your thoughts and your challenges.  But most importantly, we encourage you to believe that you can make a positive difference in developing the skills needed for the 21st Century in your organization.

The discussion is at our new St. Paul location: Metro State University in the Ecolab Room in the Library (details provided at registration).  Continental breakfast will be served from7:30 to 8:00 with the presentation from 8:00 to 9:00 am.  No cost for members; $30 for non-members.
