Join us for this joint Wisconsin ATD Chapter event! Presented in partnership with the Madison Area and Northeast Wisconsin Chapters.
Requirements to be a good leader have changed more dramatically over the past 10 years than any other time in history – in part due to COVID. Leaders need to be aware of what employees expect and what their organizations need now. In addition, we as TD Professionals must redefine how we develop leaders. As trusted advisors, our role requires us to lead the change – to know and deliver what leaders require to be successful.

A SEWI-ATD Signature Event
Designing a Future Ready Talent Development Strategy
The rapid pace of technological and societal change is reshaping how organizations are approaching their talent development strategy. A variety of factors like the evolution of AI, a growing talent shortage, a shortage of qualified leaders, and changing expectations of customers and employees have resulted in what some are calling "The Great Transformation." That is the total reconstruction of how work will get done in the (very near) future.
Michelle Reid-Powell of The CARA Group, Inc., will provide insight into the latest trends that reflect the changes that will be happening. Panelists will discuss how their organizations are changing the way they develop their employees to ensure they have the skills required for the next decade and beyond. They will also explain their strategies for recruiting and engaging employees while still focusing on their customers.
