ROI reporting for all Talent Management Lifecycle activities will become the norm in 12 to 18 months from now. Here's a 12 month preparation plan. What to assemble, in what order and by when. Where to get insights, case studies and best practices to inspire your own approach and why this is becoming a very real thing for L&D, HR and Talent Leaders. This session will include: - A look at the Business Impact and Meaningful Metrics Talent Management leaders are reporting to the board. - The obvious (and unexpected) Business Challenges they are solving for their organization today. - The approach they took to go from metrics that don’t matter as much, to metrics that result in tangible ROI. - A 12-month roadmap you can take and apply tomorrow, to prepare you for the day your board wants ROI reporting from the Talent Management leaders.
