Who Is Right for the Program
Driving Performance Through Talent Management is designed for general managers, human resource executives, and others at large established companies who contribute significantly to the organization's strategy for talent acquisition, management, and development. Individuals who are about to take on one of these roles also are welcomed to attend. Typical participant titles include, but are not limited to:
- Chief executive officer or chief operating officer
- General manager (deputy, assistant, or divisional)
- Senior vice president or vice president (divisional, regional, or corporate)
- Director (executive, managing, or divisional)
- Head (business unit or division)
- Chief human resources executive
- Vice president, human resources
- Talent and performance management executives
This program is well suited to individuals or teams. A team of executives might include one or more general managers and their counterparts in HR, or any other group of senior executives who work together to address talent development challenges. When a number of executives from one company attend, they return with shared insights and frameworks that enable them to begin working together immediately to better align the organization's talent with its strategic needs.

"Our organization has gone through a major transition. Formerly a department within a telecom firm, we are now an independent provider of IT services to multiple industries—a change that places new demands on our people and creates significant talent management challenges. Coming to HBS gave me the tools and perspective to face these issues with confidence and to align our recruiting and retention strategies with the firm's new direction."
