Why you must attend

Having the right people in the right position at the right time is crucial to the
success of any organisation!

Organisations today are finding themselves in a talent crisis with serious gaps in
executive capacity to formulate and execute winning business strategies. They
are also realising that they do not have the sufficient tools, resources and processes
to attract, develop and retain talent. They are experiencing barriers to producing
and developing leaders. In short they do not have skilled and knowledgeable
leaders ready to execute business strategies now and in the future.
IMPORTANT - Please do not remove or obscure the above label. It contains vital information
Code: B F X GM004 Despite widespread recognition of this crisis, most organisations have not invested
or managed executive talent in a manner that fuels business performance.
