Day 1: 13th July, 20168:45 am - 9:30 amKeynote Session - Thriving During Disruption: The Role of People Management
Dr Ian O. Williamson - Melbourne Business SchoolSummary:
Thriving During Disruption: The Role of People Management
Over the last 2 decades we have witnessed several major technological, demographic and social-political changes that have had a dramatic impact on numerous sectors. Newspapers, postal services, mobile devices, and phone services are all examples of industries that have seen dramatic upheaval due to dramatic disruptions. In theory major disruptions can create new and often bigger opportunities for organisations. Yet, in reality not all organisations are able to take advantages of these opportunities, which can lead to low organisational performance or even failure.
In this session Dr. Williamson will discuss the barriers organisations face when attempting to respond to major external disruptions, such as how leaders frame disruptions, the need to develop new measures of performance, and the need to redefine what is a “talented employee”. Dr. Williamson will discuss how the people management decisions made by leaders help determine whether organisations thrive or fail during these times. The talk will provide practical strategies leaders can use to better prepare their organisations to deal with current and future disruptions in their environments.Speakers:

The ‘war for talent’ continues to evolve.

Aadil Abbas - CEBSummary:
Accelerating Recruiting: Achieving Quality at Speed
Compared to 2010, it now takes four additional weeks to fill the average vacancy. Recruiting leaders have responded by looking at the individuals involved in recruiting (recruiters and hiring managers) and finding ways to enable them to work faster. Unfortunately this approach does not fundamentally solve for the barriers that are inhibiting speed in the hiring process—recruiter workload complexity, process inefficiency, and sluggish decision making. Join us to hear case studies of how the best organisations shift from just enabling hiring teams to cope with complexity to streamlining the hiring workflow.

Building end to end utopia – A guide to navigating the tech solution
Automation Utopia is the end to end automation of the talent acquisition lifecycle so that the system does the heavy lifting and (theoretically) there is no requirement for human intervention.
But, the reality is you actually want to craft the process so that human time is more wisely invested in the aspects that matter in order to generate candidate advocacy, brand affiliation and enable outcomes such as quality of hire / time to productivity etc and not be absorbed by admin tasks.
