Kaplan DeVries team leads workshop on Managing Executive Talent

Kaplan DeVries team leads workshop on Managing Executive Talent, sponsored by the Human Resources Planning Society.

Bob Kaplan and Rob Kaiser kicked off a workshop sponsored by the Human Resources Planning Society in San Francisco September 13-14. They were invited to “turn conventional wisdom on it’s head” by leading off the two-day workshop for senior HR leaders with their innovative model of leadership versatility and their next-generation approach to assessment. Their interactive session, “Rethinking Executive Assessment,” included several case studies and an interactive experiential learning process to help HR leaders take a fresh perspective on the tired “Competency Model & 360” approach to assessment. As one senior HR person commented, “We are preparing for our annual organizational talent review - this material was perfect for upgrading our approach.”

Bob and Rob led-off the session, but several other speakers were present to discuss Executive Talent Management, including speakers from Starbucks, MTV Networks, Genentech, and American Express.
