In November, ChapmanCG along with Bloomberg’s Ruchika Sharma, APAC Talent & Development Director co-hosted 24 Talent Management leaders on the theme of local leadership pipelining in Asia Pacific. Among the discussions of talent management, additional points around diversity and inclusion and technology emerged during the meeting.

An interesting consequence of this is that local talent now accounts for a smaller proportion of the workforce in such organisations. This leads to the conflict of the buy…

Greater digitisation and the maturity of analytics in HR were twin topics featured in Hong Kong last week, at ChapmanCG’s Regional Talent Management and Talent Acquisition Heads meeting hosted by Bloomberg.

The Chapman Consulting Group co-hosted its inaugural roundtable for Japan Talent Leaders earlier in June at Bloomberg LP’s office in Tokyo. Amongst the Learning & Development experts in attendance were participants from the Retail, Professional Services, Media, Industrial, Life Sciences, Consumer and Financial Services sectors.

The two-hour discussion over lunch brought out a great variety of viewpoints and experiences on this topic. As with many facets of the Human Resources field, the crux of the issue came…
