Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) October 24, 2006 -- The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global professional association and educator in talent management strategies, today announced unprecedented interest in its webcast, "Accelerating the Performance of High Potential Leaders," scheduled for October 26 from 12:00 PM -1:30 PM Eastern time. The online event is part of HCI's Talent and Career Transition Management learning and research track. The track, which is part of HCI's Talent Development community of interest, is sponsored by DBM, a global human capital and transitions management firm.
Interest in the topic can be attributed to a number of factors, according to webcast presenter Duncan Mathison, Managing Director of Executive Coaching for DBM's Western Region. "A perfect storm is forming, making urgency kick up," said Mathison.
As the labor market tightens and organizations experience the dramatic shift in workplace demographics as baby boomers start to retire, the issue of hiring the very best leaders becomes critical. "Quality of hire makes a huge difference. The top 10 percent of leaders drive twice the performance of the middle 80 percent," Mathison said.
Further, organizations are taking a hard look at their bench strength, leading to a growing concern about the overall shortage of strong management, and the potential for not having the right employees in place to meet future business challenges. And since flatter organizational structures are providing fewer rungs in the career ladder, suddenly the need to develop and retain high potential leaders becomes a key success factor. "Companies with really strong high-potential development programs outperform those without them." Mathison said.
All these factors are driving interest in the webcast, which looks at the best ways to identify and develop leaders within an organization. To date, over 1,900 people have registered for the free Internet presentation.
Interest also has to do with the way the webcast is structured, according to Christi Karvasek, Marketing Manager for DBM. The presentation is supported by a panel of HR leaders and practitioners who provide context for the research Mathison shares.
Moreover, this is only one in a series of webcasts HCI has held on this topic. People who have experienced the quality of previous webcasts have signed themselves up for the whole series, as well as shared that information with their colleagues who in turn sign up. According to Karvasek, "This level of word-of-mouth advertising is a great testimonial to the quality of the webcasts, white papers, education, and other resources offered through HCI's Talent and Career Transition Management learning and research track. Mathison agreed stating, "I think today people are in need of nuggets of learning."
"HCI's webcasts have met with tremendous success because they address critical concerns related to talent management. We look forward to continuing to provide human capital professionals with the resources they need to meet the challenges of developing talent," said Joy Kosta, Director of HCI's Talent Development community.
