Cirencester, UKLearning NewsKallidus

e2train, a leading provider of learning and talent management solutions, has announced that the second in its series of thought-provoking webinars on talent management and leadership development is to focus on the issue of leadership succession and how technologies can support succession planning.

The series is taking place in partnership with premier research and consulting firm, Bersin & Associates, with Director & Principal Analyst at Bersin, Katherine Jones, leading the session entitled: 'Future-Proof Your Talent: Making Succession Technology Work for You.'

"Succession planning today goes to the very core of the future health and longevity of organisations", said e2train CEO, Rob Caul. "Do you have an internal pipeline of leaders ready to assume management positions? And how do you know if they will be up to the job? In a highly practical session, Katherine will examine the issues facing HR professionals as they plan for leadership succession and the crucial role of technologies in expediting their efforts."

Participants in the webinar will gain insight into some of the key issues in planning for intelligent succession, such as: the dangers of multiple divisions in a company targeting the same person for a high-level position; how companies can ensure that the heir-apparents have the right skills sets for the jobs they need to fill; the importance of making sure businesses retain the top talent and steps that can be taken to achieve this, including the identifying of flight risks; and, how to identify who and where critical talent is within a global enterprise.

As Director of HCM (Human Capital Management) Technology at Bersin & Associates, Dr. Katherine Jones focuses on technology that supports all HR and talent management programmes and processes.  Prior to joining Bersin, Dr. Jones was a research director at Aberdeen Group for eight years, focusing on research and consulting services in HR, talent acquisition, workforce management, ERP, and mid-market companies. Dr. Jones has published over 300 works on talent management, technology and business practices. She has a Master and Doctorate degree from Cornell University.

'Future-Proof Your Talent: Making Succession Technology Work for You' is the second of a series of four webinars that e2train is hosting with Bersin & Associates. The webinar will take place on Wednesday 22nd February at 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm GMT. Further information and registration is available at: http://www.e2train.com/bersin-webinar-february
