Washington, D.C.--November 12, 2008--The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global professional association and think tank that is advancing the science of strategic talent management, and Conenza, a leading provider of corporate social networking software and services for Global 2000 enterprises, announced today that Conenza is sponsoring HCI's Extended Talent Networks online education and research track.
HCI's Extended Talent Networks track helps human capital leaders understand the value of nurturing and growing relationships with talent from both inside and outside their organizations. By creating an extended talent network to maintain lifelong connections with employees, corporate alumni, customers and partners, companies can close the loop in the employment lifecycle and reap ongoing business benefits in the form of increased recruiting efficiency, innovation, business development and marketing.
As part of its sponsorship, Conenza will host its first HCI track webcast, Now More Than Ever: The Business Imperative of an Extended Talent Community, on Monday, Dec. 2, 2008, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EST. The webcast will feature Zach Thomas, Senior Analyst for Forrester Research Inc., discussing the importance and benefits of building a talent community for employees, past and present. Visit

"For more than a decade, the people at Conenza have worked with some of the world's leading companies to help them build and maximize relationships with their current and past employees," said Allan Schweyer, HCI's Executive Director and Senior Vice President, Research. "Their expertise will be a boon to members of HCI's Talent Acquisition community."
Through resources including webcasts, white papers, blogs and other information assets, selected and presented by a panel of industry experts, talent management professionals can learn how to create an infrastructure and a culture to retain, cultivate, and leverage connections within their extended talent community.
"We are pleased that Conenza can play a role in HCI's important professional learning and thought-leadership community," said Tony Audino, Conenza CEO. "Cultivating relationships and capitalizing on an extended talent network is an important source of competitive advantage that delivers compelling financial and business benefits. Conenza has helped industry-leading companies, like Microsoft, build and manage highly-rewarding employee and alumni communities. We are eager to share our experiences and best practices with other talent management professionals to help them discover the value of corporate social networking and develop a strategy to maintain and maximize these powerful connections with their people."
Extended Talent Networks is among several topics addressed in HCI's Talent Acquisition community of interest, an online community that HCI and its more than 130,000 global members consider critical to organizations working to refine their human capital management strategies.
