Speaker Jim Morgan will discuss how HR means many things to many people, but does it mean “strategic partner” in your organization?  Survey after survey of CEOs and other executives show “Talent” as the number one business concern for employers.  If talent – people – is the #1 concern of the C-Suite, doesn’t it stand to follow that human resources should be the strategic partner?

              Leading the “competitive-edge” discussions on people
