Presenter: Janna Hartsock, HRIS Manager, American Institute of Research

Description

While Talent Management Suite implementations are all the rage these days, often companies do not realize all that is involved until they are in the middle of the implementation, leading to increased costs, delayed Go Live dates and poor change management.

In this session, Janna Hartsock, HRIS Manager at The American Institutes for Research (AIR), will present on AIR’s implementation of a Talent Management Suite, and what she wishes someone had encouraged them to have worked on before the implementation even started.
