BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - February 10, 2011) - Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
The keynote address, Competitive Advantage through Change, will be delivered by Dennis Donovan, former Executive Vice President, Human Resources, The Home Depot; former Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Raytheon Corporation; and current Senior Advisor, Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company, LLC, where he is engaged in planning and executing business turnarounds.
Aberdeen's HCM Summit -- The Engaged Talent Leader: Powering Business Execution, is built on the premise that finding, developing, retaining and motivating the talent required to execute is a job for talent leaders throughout the organization -- those who fulfill HR, talent management, OD and learning roles, as well as those talent leaders running business units, managing teams and serving on the executive team. For companies who do this well, talent becomes the competitive differentiator to attract both customers as well as other great talent. It's the job of the Engaged Talent Leader to take an active role in making talent leadership an organizational responsibility.
"Many organizations are looking to grow in 2011. Talent excellence, attained through improved acquisition, engagement, development and retention methods and technologies, will be critical to achieving this growth," said Mollie Lombardi, Senior Research Analyst, Aberdeen Human Capital Management research practice. "Our research has shown that companies with the highest-quality employees actually experience revenue growth, enhanced market position, and increased customer loyalty because they are more capable of delivering a higher quality customer experience at every level of their business. Each of our speakers and presenters has achieved quality results for their respective organizations, and want to help Summit attendees do the same."
