Following the recent launch of our 2016 IMI Membership proposition, we are delighted to announce details of our Talent Forum for the coming year.

The IMI Talent Forum will provide senior HR practitioners (with a talent remit) an open, yet confidential, space to meet their peers to share their challenges and experiences and hear from international practitioners and leading thinkers. It will involve the delivery of a series of quarterly facilitated discussion forums for Ireland’s leading senior HR practitioners.
Taking place over the course of 2016, this series will be facilitated by IMI Associate Faculty member and seasoned HR practitioner, Fergus Barry, and will offer our members a unique opportunity to deep dive into your most pressing talent management challenges.
Among the multitude of high value benefits on offer to participating organisations this year, the Talent Forum aims to provide these organisations with:

• Next practice insights in Talent Management Strategy
• Expertise to help you interpret these insights for your organisation
• Tangible takeaways to use back in your organisation

Please see below the key dates, speakers and themes for our 2016 series. This excusive offer is open to IMI corporate members participating in our Transform membership programme. If you would like more information regarding our Talent Forum or to enquire about IMI membership for your organisation, please contact the IMI membership services team on 1800 22 33 88 or membership@imi.ie

People Lessons from a Pop Up Organisation with Rob Jones

4th February 2016, 4:30PM-6:30PM, IMI Conference Centre, Dublin 16
Rob Jones is Head of Organisational Effectiveness at Crossrail, the £15bn programme to deliver a new railway for London.
Described as a values-led ‘pop-up’ organisation, it is interesting because it involves many different organisations, across several industries, all collaborating under the one umbrella. With 14,000 people, most not directly employed, the challenge to create an integrated team is massive and involves not only aligning the culture, but also a complex supporting framework.
