The event will feature keynotes from special guests Derek Daly, former Formula One race car driver, businessman and television sports personality, and Charles Jennings, Director of Duntroon Associates, a UK-based learning, performance and productivity consultancy. Additional presentations from customers, industry experts and Plateau executives will focus on the benefits organisations can achieve by implementing a holistic talent management strategy that focuses on linking employee skills with organisational goals and priorities.

The event will deliver technical and business-focused break-out sessions that highlight specific technology trends, including collaboration and social networking tools, and show how they are enhancing talent management initiatives and creating business value across organisations. Attendees are encouraged to share their views, experiences and best practices on how their organisations are embracing Plateau’s solutions to support the achievement of their talent management goals. They will also have an opportunity to participate in hands-on educational labs, where they will learn how to effectively maximise their current talent management investments to meet their organisations’ immediate and long-term business goals.

Plateau’s alliances with leading business and technology partners are critical to the company’s ability to offer best-in-class solutions.
