The A.P. Møller – Mærsk MPACT Journey

Re-imagining how talent drives success: Align evolving talent strategies with business impact in a rapidly changing world

As the world is changing, so too must the way we approach talent. To stay competitive and future-ready, organizations need to move beyond traditional talent management and succession planning – and embrace more agile, human-centered strategies.  In this presentation, Marco Mingolla, former EMEA Practice Lead of People Strategy and Performance Solutions at Korn Ferry, will share key findings from Korn Ferry’s recent report, identifying fundamental shifts in talent and succession management:

• Shifting from static to dynamic planning
• Moving from “owning” talent to “having access to it”
• Replacing process-driven HR with human-centered, business-embedded impact.

Taking this into consideration might actually increase productivity, lower employee turnover and make your organization more agile in responding to market changes.

Hvordan den 90 % ledelsesfri organisation fungerer i praksis (DA)

Hvis du vil have, at folk skal udvikle sig, så giv dem tillid – ikke kontrol!
Ann-Christina Matzen Andreasen giver et unikt indblik i JAC’s 90 % ledelsesfrie organisationsmodel, hvor medarbejderne selv står for strategi, økonomi og daglige beslutninger.
Med afsæt i KAN OG VIL-modellen og TILLIDSTRAPPEN præsenterer hun, hvordan tillid, psykologisk tryghed og læring skaber fundamentet for performance, trivsel og innovation.
Hun deler erfaringer med talentudvikling i en verden i forandring og giver konkrete bud på, hvordan man kan skabe en fleksibel, fremtidssikret strategi for at tiltrække, udvikle og fastholde talent.
