8:05 AM Building a Talent Management Program That Powers Business Strategy

L&D doesn’t have to be a walled-off experience. It could and should align with the CEO’s overall business strategy. In most cases, that strategy involves cultivating strong, agile and knowledgeable leaders and managers who are well-acquainted with the business’ core functions. In this unique panel, we will hear from two companies on how they accelerate talent through early-intervention learning programs that offer deep training for new and existing employees on a company’s business model, structure and culture.

  • How Sidley Austin LLP onboards new, non-legal talent hires into the legal industry and the firm’s historic values using a mix of coaching and vibrant, multimedia e-learning. The approach has been so successful that it is now in global use and is even used to train new legal hires as well.

  • How energy company Exelon uses learning to drive its corporate strategy through Talent Accelerated — a program for executives that focuses on flipping performance management through an enhanced business talent review process, a new leadership coaching model and an integrated technology solution.
