ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, November 7, 2017 – IMD International Search Group Partners gathered on October, 12-14 in Chicago for their autumn meeting, hosted by Daubenspeck & Associates.

The topic of technology and innovation was at the center stage of the conference, which hosted several speakers on sourcing tools, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. The present delegates brainstormed together on the disruptions that we are facing in our business, what we need to learn, how to keep our operations up to date with technology, whether for identifying highly specialized profiles or more generally on various aspects of our deliverables, notably candidate assessment.

Also in terms of learning and sharing ideas, besides helping each other through workshops on “what keeps you up at night”, attendees went back on a selection of the 70 best practices worldwide that have been presented so far to review what ideas were picked up and adapted to other markets. Certificates of Excellence for best practices were delivered to the members whose ideas were particularly inspiring over the past 5 years.

Being in the USA allowed to convene a second regional meeting of the North America members to consolidate the cooperation between our members in Canada, the USA and Mexico.

Lastly, IMD International Search will be able in the short term to make an announcement about the creation of new line of service in parallel with our core business of executive search at the top level – Stay tuned!
