    2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. In addition to being one of the most important events in American history, the Battle of Gettysburg also provides an interesting business case study, offering many lessons and insights to today’s and tomorrow’s HR professionals.

     

    This exciting program examines how organizational culture, structure, operating philosophy, and talent affected the organizations involved, and ultimately the outcome of the battle. The analysis, discussions, and lessons learned during this presentation provide attendees with unique insight into leadership as well as organizational dynamics, and strategic planning and execution. Furthermore, this historic event can enrich us with a new understanding of employee engagement and talent management that participants can apply today in their own organizations.

    Learn from the past to excel in the future!
