Description:
Talent is rapidly becoming the most important
competitive differentiator for organizations of every size. The most successful organizations excel at sourcing, selecting, developing, engaging and retaining top talent. This trend puts ATD members and all talent professionals at the center of their organization’s success. Talent professionals are rapidly becoming the ‘go-to’ resource for ‘building their organization’s builders’ and being granted access to them. This doesn’t occur automatically. Becoming a trusted advisor is earned by creating productive, sustainable relationships with the organization’s most senior strategic and operational leaders. The path to achieving this isn’t always clear or easy.
In this unique town-hall style event, ‘Breakfast with the C-Suite / Creating Strategic Organizational Relationships,’ members will hear directly from GameStop’s most senior operational executives on:
a) understanding the business they support;
b) creating trusting, sustainable relationships with their organization’s operational leaders; and
c) measuring and evangelizing the financial value of the talent function.
Mike Buskey serves as President of U.S. Stores and EVP of the Operations and Human Resources functions.
Jason Cochran serves as Senior Vice President of U.S. Stores and all Store Operations support provided by the Store Support Center.
