Jardine Matheson, the largest private-sector employer in Hong Kong, is noted for its highly developed internal leadership development methods and programs that have helped the group diversify to include Hongkong Land, the Mandarin Oriental, Ikea, Dairy Farm, Wellcome, Schindler Lifts, Pizza Hut, Maxims and the Mercedes Benz concession. The group seeks to understand its pool of employees to maximize short-and long-term roles, especially given the lure of job-jumping in today's high-flying economy. While most companies claim a few star performers, many executives have yet to find and mine the outer limits of their potential to maximize their performance and reach the right role within the organization. Identifying and developing that talent is a real challenge across companies and industries.
Jill Dodwell-Groves, head of executive development in Jardine Matheson's Group Human Resources, provides strategic support to the Board and consulting services to businesses across the group. She heads up all group executive development programs, including the Director's Development initiative, Business Enhancement Initiative, Senior Executive Development, recruitment and development of executive trainees as well as various tailored programs and the design and delivery of development centers. Jill will share how Jardines reviews and develops its senior executives, how it identifies and equips more junior staff to develop within and across its wide range of businesses, and will discuss:
- How can you zero in on the talent you want now and later?
- How do you recognize the talent you have?
- How can you measure the value or skills your people have to offer?
- Among the huge array of options, what training or development will really boost executives on the way up?
