Forum Agenda Thursday, June 20th | 8:30am - 12:45pm Innovations in Experiential Learning – Learn By Doing The ability to sustain a steady supply of talent is a challenge facing all organizations—worldwide. Among the issues impacting the “next generation” workforce are impending skill shortages, an increasingly cross-generational and diverse workforce, the need for knowledge transfer from retiring baby boomers, and significant leadership gaps. Intense cost pressure from both traditional and emerging competitors, new markets, and more demanding customers are additional elements that give a new sense of urgency to the concept of talent sustainability.
