11th Annual Future of Talent Retreat – Europe
Utrecht, The Netherlands
2021 Date to Be Determined
THE NEXT WAVE
What is the “Next Wave” of talent and work shaping up to look like for Europe? This year’s Retreat will explore the early trends that we are seeing that are already shaping how organizations think about and define what an employee is.
We’ll show examples of new organizational structures and ways of getting work done that reflect the trends we’ve been seeing over the past 6 years.

We focus on an interactive, discussion-based format. There are few formal presentations or “talking heads.” Experts lead discussion groups. We develop practical take-ways that can be presented and used back at work.

FEEDBACK FROM PAST ATTENDEES
What a great group of people!! Thoughtful, dedicated, nice mix! Wonderful connections. Loved the talks/discussions about the future of specific topics. Loved the group work around specific topics.
The location was perfect to disconnect and relax. The number of attendees was perfect so we could really get to know each other. The small group work was fantastic and exercise like Global Cafe were so engaging and effective.
What I liked most was the ability to have deeper and longer range discussions with my peers in the industry, and particularly getting a broader perspective from many different industries and geographies.

Kevin explains how traditional recruiting metrics are transactional or only define the past. Kevin implores the need for leading or predictive metrics that could help recruiting organizations answer critical questions. Kevin outlines a better approach that includes concepts like pipelines, trust, and predictive analytics.
