Hunt Scanlon Media’sThe Impact of Data & Deglobalization on Executive Search

October 19th - 12pm EST

Join Kennon Kincaid, COO of Odgers Berndtson US, and Melissa Swift, US Transformation Leader at Mercer, on October 19th for an interactive webinar supported by Hunt Scanlon Media. The session will focus on changing attitudes towards data and how organizations have been responding to an increasingly deglobalized world with the help of data. 

This a great opportunity to hear firsthand from some of the key players in our industry. They will share valuable insights into global trends, how these trends impact the operations and talent management strategies of executive search firms, and how data can help respond to quick shifts in our current economic environment. 

We will be joined by Cameron Ireland, former CEO of global data company BoardEx.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Deglobalization: concerns, considerations, and opportunities—How are clients mitigating risk, leveraging their unique strengths, and restructuring in an increasingly deglobalized world?
  • Size of the search firm database—Is it an advantage or a disadvantage to have a larger database? 
  • Impact of public databases such as LinkedIn—What is the role of social media in searches? 
  • Using data to ask the right questions—How can we use data insights to create the opportunity to lead more accurately than ever before?
  • Data ownership—Who stores and captures data during the search process and who owns that data?
  • Data sharing and security—What data is impacted by data privacy regulation? 
  • Opportunities⁠—How can data, analytics, and insights address the organizational challenges of deglobalization?
 

There will be an opportunity for audience members to put their questions to panel members and join the conversation.
