Norfolk Southern Corporation to Host Biannual Event
Atkins, VA – March 3, 2008  The next biannual meeting of TEDS Consortium, a dynamic collaborative forum of human capital experts from over a dozen world-class companies, is set for March 5th and 6th. The meeting will be hosted by the Norfolk Southern Corporation at its Atlanta, Georgia Division Headquarters. Among the discussion topics for this meeting are future plans for Talent Management initiatives among member companies.

TEDS President and CEO, Joseph F. “Joe” Ellis will present a company update and other members of the TEDS Executive Staff will share a presentation on the latest release of the TEDS Integrated Talent Management Software Suite, TEDS v.8.5.

“The highlight of all Consortium meetings is the Consortium members’ sharing sessions,” said Mr. Ellis. “The Consortium members are innovators in every aspect of corporate learning and talent management. Their visionary input has been exceedingly valuable to our development of the TEDS Learning Management and Talent Management systems.”

A typical TEDS Consortium agenda includes a roadmap for future TEDS releases and fast track development, task team reports, success stories, key learnings, and “stretch topics” to engender thinking about workforce needs and solutions in the future.
