Authoria Hosts Bersin, Knowledge Infusion and Other Leading Industry Analysts for Talent Management Power Panel

WALTHAM, MA, Jun 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
As part of its commitment to identifying and addressing the opportunities
and challenges facing HR today, Authoria will be hosting a webinar on
"The Future of Talent Management: Views from a Power Panel" on Tuesday,
June 23 at 2:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. PT. Participants include noted experts
in the field of Talent Management, including moderator Bill Kutik and
analysts from IDC, Knowledge Infusion and Bersin & Associates.

The Power Panel brings together a team of leading industry experts to
discuss the challenges of managing employees in a difficult economic
environment and highlights ways in which organizations can best position
themselves for growth during the economic recovery.

The discussion will give attendees actionable guidance on how to go beyond
automating existing HR functions to effectively and efficiently manage
talent and will identify the trends and issues that will face HR
professionals as the economy rebounds. Using real customer examples, the
Power Panelists will explain the successes and failures of Talent
Management users, plus provide their insights on the future.

Moderating the panel is Bill Kutik, independent HR analyst, technology
columnist for Human Resource Executive and www.HREOnline.com, co-chair of
HRE's Annual HR Technology Conference and host of The Bill Kutik Radio
Show(SM). Kutik is considered the leading independent analyst of the HR
technology marketplace with specialties in HCM, Recruiting, Outsourcing
and the Talent Management Suite.

Joining Kutik on the Power Panel are Jason Corsello, Vice President,
Knowledge Infusion Center of Excellence; Leighanne Levensaler, Director
of Talent Management Research, Bersin & Associates; and Lisa Rowan,
Program Director of HR, Learning and Talent Strategies, IDC.

"In this economy, many HR organizations are forced to reevaluate the ways
in which they manage talent. We know that 'the old way of doing things' is
not necessarily going to have the best results for companies operating in
this dynamic new environment of fast-paced global and financial change. By
bringing together these impressive industry visionaries, we are providing
opportunities for our customers and other HR executives to continually
educate themselves and refine their strategies within the Talent
Management arena," said Jim McDevitt, CEO, Authoria. "This panel of
experts will provide real world examples and strategies that can be
employed immediately to make a difference. As the economy recovers,
organizations will be confronted with a new set of challenges, and we've
designed this event to equip HR professionals with the knowledge and
insight they need to make the most informed and strategic decisions about
their businesses in the coming months."

Kutik says, "This will be the 80th panel I have organized and moderated in
the last dozen years, and it promises to be the best. The panelists are
truly three of only a handful of the country's leading experts on Talent
Management."
