  • Are you letting the most important strategic influence you can have on your organization pass you by?
  • Do you want to be know for your ability to acquire talent?
  • Do you know how to make sure that talented person with the great resume isn’t using your job as a steppingstone to something else?
  • Do your interview team agree on what they are looking for in an important position?
  • Do members of your interviewing team know how to interview for the all-important “fit factor?”

This practical webinar will take you step by step through the process of determining the qualifications your want your candidates to have, sourcing, interviewing, and selecting the right person for your organization now.

It will also include how to review resumes and decide whom to interview, how to gain agreement among interviewers, and how to check references so there are no surprises.

Agenda items include:

  1. Strategic staffing concepts:
    • Do you want to upgrade the skills of the department?
    • Offer career development opportunities?
    • Or, simply replace a person?
  2. Developing your own back-of-the-envelope competency models:
    • Do you know the personal characteristics that make a person a good fit for your organization?
  3. Preparing questions from resumes:
    • What do you see that makes a person a good candidate?
  4. Assessing behavior in interviews using critical incident interviewing
  5. Special interviewing techniques to get the information you need
  6. Selling the candidate, if you want the person to say yes
  7. Reference checking, the most neglected but most important part of the process

If you are in human resources,  or setting up personel for your team, in this webinar you will learn how to be more strategic and more influential with the personnel and managers you hire for.

Recent technology developments like the Internet of Things and 3D printing are redefining digital manufacturing.

New emphasis on speed, productivity and sustainability provide strategists opportunities to innovate the role of production in the value chain. This creates new revenue opportunities and changes the competitive landscape.

Few companies are prepared to sustain this shift. Gartner and The Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition (SMLC) explore the current and future possibilities of technology innovation on manufacturing strategies.

Discussion Topics:

  • The three ways digital business is impacting manufacturing operations
  • How industry-driven collaboration is opening new doors to technology innovations
  • The core capabilities your organization should be establishing in order to capitalize on these innovations
