Locating Talent: The Keys to Future Success
|
Talented, skilled people are the linchpin to any organization's future success. Yet, with the baby boomers' retirement looming on the horizon, finding the right people with the right skills in an increasingly competitive global market is going to be the crucial battle for the future of business. And while the explosion of communications, coupled with the incredible drop in the cost of communications, will make it possible for people to act and interact over global distances, proximity to market remains a crucial factor in many fast-changing industries. As a result, the need to have the right people in the right places will continue to be an issue on which the future success of most major organizations will pivot. Moreover, once relocated, people will need to develop an awareness of the new culture in which they are working, and continue to develop their skills and expand their training and knowledge to keep abreast of the rapid and wide-ranging changes in business and the world. And although while this is a HR issue, it is also a lead-in for the real estate industry, as relocation is going to gain in importance in the strategic management of large organizations. In this intriguing and up-beat presentation, futurist and strategic planner Richard Worzel will identify the critical issues relating to global competition, demographics, technology, and HR that will determine who will be the winners and losers in this all-important contest.

Re-Inventing the Real Estate Industry (Workshop)
|
Most real estate professionals, accomplished in their own field, have little experience in the environmental scanning and innovation that would allow them to achieve the kinds of success they believe they should be able to reach. In this strategic planning session, futurist Richard Worzel, C.F.A., will start with an overview of some of the major issues facing North American real estate over the next five to 10 years, including new technologies that are reshaping the real estate industry, demographics shifts that are changing your prospect base, and new competitors who will look to eat your lunch. This will move through a process of discovering the future through a series of structured questions and guided exercises that will allow participants to identify the seams in tomorrow's real estate industry, and then re-invent it in their region.
Along the way, you will identify what surprises are most likely to affect your book and your prospects, evolve a detailed plan for getting from where you want to be to where you are today (which is the opposite of the way most people plan), and clarify your ideal outcome in such a way that you can make it come true. The result will be a much greater awareness of the obstacles and roadblocks ahead, a much clearer definition of what your desired future would be like, and a defined strategy and set of tactics for reaching that future.
