Increasing TA’s value by aligning Talent with Business Goals

By Simone Donovan, Talent Manager, PetSure and Simon Townsend, Co-Founder TCS Insights

Organisations and C-Suite want closer alignment of TA activity and actions to business goals and drivers; this is key to helping your company win in its market.

But static plans can be dangerous, and we must anticipate and respond to the changing environment. This can be complicated to design for and navigate, but Simone and Simon have a simple and effective game-based session using a deck of cards designed specifically for Talent Teams.

In this session, you will:

  • Create an actionable scenario plan to connect your Business Goals to TA Planning and Actions;
  • Anticipate a variety of future scenarios and plan your actions accordingly; and
  • Walk away with an actionable plan for the next 12 months.

You’ll enhance your ability to connect TA with the rest of the business and respond to various situations in the real world, enabling you to become a trusted advisor to your C-Suite.
