TALENT & CULTURE SYMPOSIUM

Building a Sustainable Talent and Culture Ecosystem

Date Time: 25 May 2026, 08:00 – 12:30 IST

Locations: Hilton Dublin, Charlemont Pl, Saint Kevin's, Dublin, D02 A893, Ireland

This half-day symposium explores how organisations can move beyond ad hoc development initiatives to build a talent ecosystem intentionally aligned with organisational priorities, underpinned by well-defined job architecture, robust frameworks, and efficient systems to deliver long-term organisational value.

At the heart is the synergy between job architecture, attraction and retention, and talent development.

With the right foundations, talent initiatives stop being standalone efforts and become intentionally aligned to role requirements, career pathways, and organisational priorities. Development becomes more targeted, scalable, and impactful when anchored in a shared understanding of skills, levels, and progression. Each approach plays a critical role in this ecosystem: supporting individual growth, accelerating readiness, and reinforcing the broader talent architecture, rather than operating as a disconnected intervention.
