Berlin Diversity Masterclass – 30th August

The ICON Group Diversity Masterclass

“Developing and Strengthening a Sustainable Gender Talent Pipeline”

Aims & Objectives

After 5 successful years of the annual international Diversity & Inclusion Seminar, we are introducing a series of One-Day Diversity Masterclasses to many cities around Europe focusing on the most pressing issues. Join us for the 3rd in the series of Diversity Masterclasses where executives and thought leaders will share their perspectives, models, and strategic approaches for developing and strengthening the female talent pipeline. As the issue of women in the boardroom remains a big challenge to many organisations, we will examine how leading companies are laying successful foundations for the future. We will learn successful “how to” approaches and strategic models that are being implemented in some of the world’s largest companies and organisations today.

This Masterclass will

Identify and help you create a clear definition of Female Talent and Leadership
Provide you with the “how to”approach of successful gender specific talent strategies & programs to implement within your own organisation
Offer you concise results from end-users and everyday practitioners
Ensure you have the necessary strategies and techniques ready for implementation
Assist you in Developing and Executing a successful Female Talent Management Road-Map for your pipeline

Who should attend?
SVP’s, HR Directors, Heads of Diversity & Inclusion, Talent Management, Leadership Development, Employee Engagement & other related areas.
