The agile methodology allows HR the opportunity to harness the latest disruptive technology, deepen candidate relationships, and serve as trusted advisors for the business as workforce dynamics shift across the globe. The concept of "Everyday Agile" enables a talent acquisition function to operate in an entirely agile way, with prioritization and enabled by A.I. technology, to tie all work back to business value. How can your organization leverage agile to develop talent, generate revenue and become a true partner to the business?

In this session, you will:

• Explore how to prioritize all the work from your team and tie everything back to business value.
• Learn how to sustain market advantage, drive value to changing business models, and close skills gaps.
• Gain insight on how to predict your workforce’s needs.
• Determine how to get started with agile in your organization and get buy in from the business.

 This is your opportunity to pre-book private face-to-face meetings with executive peers attending the Summit, using a private online portal running up to and during the event. Gain real, practical insights into what other companies and industries are doing, to take back to your boardroom.
