Change hits, sometimes suddenly and without warning. Value shifts. Money moves quickly to keep up. Talent gets redeployed slowly, lagging behind both money and value. In an era of slow, incremental change, this chain of events might not be a problem. Not so in today’s world of rapid and almost constant disruption.

To keep up with these value shifts, senior leaders move financial capital at lightning speed from points of lower return to points of higher return. Obviously, they also need to assemble the right talent at these “value hotspots” if their companies are to win. The problem? The traditional tools of HR are fixated on the talent side of the equation to the exclusion of the value. They can’t connect talent to value fast enough or dynamically enough.

Join Hein Knaapen, CEO.works’ managing partner in Europe and Shefali Salwan on May 5th for an interactive webinar supported by Hunt Scanlon Media. The session will focus on ‘Connecting Talent to Value’, a process designed to rapidly deliver business value by mobilizing the roles and talent that have the greatest impact on returns. Hein and Shefali will share real-world examples of the Talent to Value process applied in a PE context and in this webinar Hein will explore the impact of talent to value in Europe.

Topics in the 5-step process include:

• Illuminate the Value Agenda – What value is the company creating? What work has to be done to deliver all that value?
• Identify the Critical Roles – Which roles will enable value? Which roles will execute the work?
• Begin Connecting Roles & Talent – What are the Jobs to be Done™ for the role? What evidence is required to assess the Role•Talent match?
• Sequence the Transformation – What risks are inherent in the design of the role and the talent match? What is the value-at-risk for the whole company?
• Mobilize the Returns – Which talent interventions have the greatest positive impact on the value agenda? What will be the ripple effects of the role interventions we are considering?
