Involvement - The responsibility of talent development lies at the top of the organization, and top management is also actively involved in the development of future management. The top managers themselves are frequently active as mentors, coaches or trainers, and frequently share their experiences and insights. Often the CEO plays a prominent, active role in training or action learning, i.e., using high potentials coupled with experienced leaders on essential questions. Also, CEO’s are involved in the programs by means of internal communication.

This also becomes apparent in all aspects of the organization: performance management (leaders are rewarded for the degree desired behaviors are demonstrated), promotion decisions (people are only promoted when the desired behaviors are shown), recruitment and selection (leadership behavior is an essential selection criterion) and communication from the top of the organization.
Critical Objective - High potential talent is considered as a strategic advantage and the development of this talent is and the development of a robust talent pipeline is considered a critical objective for the organization’s top management.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN
THE MIDDLE EAST/ UNLOCKING
THE VALUE OF LEARNING TO DRIVE
GROWTH
In order to propel current and future business growth, business and HR
leaders must invest effectively in the development of their employees to
drive growth and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
The MENA Labour Market Confidence Index 2014, conceptualised by
Informa and the Talent Enterprise indicates that approximately 25% of
organisations increased their training budgets compared to last year. Whilst
investment in L&D is evidently on the rise, demand for a strategic approach
to learning & development, aligned with organisational strategy is becoming
the norm, rather than the exception.
Furthermore, as executive decision makers increasingly demand evidence
of a tangible impact of learning interventions on critical business KPIs and
performance metrics, leading talent development leaders are shifting away
from the reliance on traditional, classroom based training to workplace
and outcome focused learning. Such learning, along with a blended
learning approach lends itself well to establishing the direct link required by
businesses between development initiatives and increased organisational
performance.
However, in order for HR and talent development leaders to become
true learning strategic partners, strong business cases for learning and
development initiatives are increasingly imperative.
How do talent development leaders adapt to this ROI mandate for learning
currently prevalent in corporate boardrooms? What are the latest learning
trends that can be leveraged effectively to meet organisational objectives?
All these questions and more will be explored, debated and answered at the
Learning and Talent Development Forum 2015.
