About Assessing & Developing High Potentials

The Management of Top Talent at All Levels

April 16th – 18th, 2012, Venable Conference Center, Washington, DC

Research confirms that talent management is a top issue for HR as 40% to 70% of all senior executives in most major corporations will become eligible for retirement in the next 5 years (Gandossy & Kao, 2004). In our increasingly knowledge-driven economy, organizations are right to fear this “brain drain,” suspecting that when senior executives leave the firm, the business may follow (Bannister, 2005). Yet high potentials – those most likely to rise to fill those highest positions – account for less than 8-10% of the talent pool. So finding and retaining such rare talent is a mission-critical challenge for organizations and their HR directors.
