About this event
Senior talent leaders in organisations of 5,000+ employees with direct responsibility for executive-level talent.
This includes Heads of Executive Talent, Heads of Talent Acquisition, and CHROs or CPOs building the case for a more strategic approach to senior hiring.
Most executive hiring still starts from scratch.
A vacancy opens, urgency kicks in and organisations re-enter the market with no organisational memory, no market intelligence, and a shrinking window to make a high-stakes decision.
In the first of a three-part series, Myles Ball (Co-founder, Luminate) is joined by Ville Karkiainen (former CHRO at Kalmar) to examine the current state of executive talent in global organisations, the structural challenges, outdated assumptions, and why so many efforts to improve miss the mark.
