South African organisations are facing challenges just like organisations globally. In these turbulent times it is necessary for organisations to unlock the full potential of their employees.

It is imperative that organisations focus on attracting, retaining and training knowledgeable, skilled and loyal staff.  Skilled staff means higher productivity and lower employee turn-over, and as the economy now improves, your organisation should be ready to move forward.

Knowledge Resources has put together the Training and Development Conference 2010 specifically aimed at assisting you as HR and Training professionals in updating your skills and knowledge. Come learn what the industry experts are doing within their organisations by listening to presentations from more than 30 top local and international experts!

Some of the topics and speakers you can expect to hear at this conference:

• The neuroscience of leadership
  Dr David Rock, NeuroLeadership Institute [Author of YOUR BRAIN AT WORK]
  New research about the brain explains why change is so hard, and points to fresh insights about how to drive positive change more effectively, whether in yourself, in others or in whole systems.
  
• Performance Architecture: Building Blocks to Success
  Dr Roger Addison, Performance Architect, Addison Consulting
  Do you find yourself reacting to solutions? Are you reactive problem solvers or proactive design performance design architects? Do you see yourself in the repair business or the designers of performance? Join Roger on his journey of discovery in the performance landscape. We will begin by using a systemic approach to ensure the integration of the worker, work and the workplace; review a few models and use a simple and powerful map to diagnose and prescribe performance solutions. Our journey will move us for a solution-based approach to building Performance Systems.
