In this virtual session we will use case studies to provide practical advice for getting the most out of technology at the three most important points in the employee lifecycle: selection, development, and high potential identification.

In essence many of us are "accidental" CEOs. Consider the following questions; of your executive team, how many are NOT strategic thinkers? Shouldn't they be? And, imagine if your Executive Team comes into your office tomorrow and submits their resignations. Knowing you could easily replace them within 30 days, how many of their resignations would you accept? If your answer is 1 or more to either question, then you should consider upgrading your staff. Author, CSP and CEO Bill Wagner's academic research provides us with a tremendous big picture view, but not the critical "how to." You will leave Managing the Gap with a behavioral how to.
