Programme Name: Managing Internal Talent and Leadership Pipeline
In today’s competitive and fast-changing environment, both Business & HR
leaders consider talent management to be one among their topmost priorities.
It’s well-recognised that a robust talent strategy is required for organisations to
achieve peak performance, be it for current or future. Hence, ensuring a
continuous flow of high-quality talent has become part of the larger business
agenda. Perhaps, more important than meeting current requirements, decision-
makers have realized that building systems and processes for developing talent
internally is an opportunity as well as a challenge. While all organisations work
to manage the balance between make and buy decisions, successful
organisations build robust internal programs to develop the workforce and
business leaders. They consider the process as a planned people investment
initiative and also integrate it with other HRM systems (performance, career,
succession, L&D etc.) for different levels. Alongside, organisations develop
required competencies of managers and supervisors to support the initiatives.
Programme Highlights
• Building culture of high performance
• Skill Development for readying the work force
• Make vs Buy decisions on Talent management
• Identifying development need and long-term capability requirements
Leadership development and high potential employee management
• Career and succession planning
Who Should Attend
This programme is targeted at decision-makers and line managers who are involved in
designing internal talent development and leadership grooming schemes, as well as those
who support talent development as internal trainers, coaches, and mentors. Senior and
middle-level HR/Talent managers, L&D professionals, business leaders, and line managers
would benefit from this programme.

Programme Name: Enhancing Organizational and Individual Performance
Management System
Overview:
If there is one thing of significant value to all employees irrespective of their function or level,
it would be the need to manage self as well as subordinate’s performance. This Programme
would deal with the design and implementation of successful performance management
systems.
Though performance management is an ongoing and cyclical process, for instructive purposes,
the Programme has a linear structure.
A performance management system (PMS), designed by factoring the business need, cultural
aspects, and organizational context implemented effectively can drive organization
performance by aligning different units and linking the individual goals to organizational
objectives. Also, the key to having an effective PMS is not only the design of the system but
effective implementation. The Programme is intended to address both the design and
implementation issues from both an HR and senior line manager’s perspective.

Objectives:
This workshop will focus on what we, as key stakeholders in the process, can do to create a
value proposition for PMS in the organization.
This will give insights on how we can make Performance Management a shared process in the
organization that enables business and excites people.
Specifically, the Programme will help participants to:
• Determine how Performance Management is integral to organizational effectiveness
• Understand the steps and key features of an effective performance management
process

Coverage: Topics covered include:

• Process of linking Performance Management Systems (PMS) with an organization’s
strategic plan
• Defining performance and choosing a measurement approach
• Gathering Performance information and deciding on assessment system including
alternatives to Bell curve
• Performance Execution including diagnosing performance gaps and performance
coaching
