Talent Agenda Core Series
Where the agenda is set
The Talent Agenda Core Series is the owner-led programme at the heart of the Talent Agenda Series.
It convenes senior HR leaders to shape how talent, leadership, and workforce priorities are understood across key regions — with continuity, judgement, and intent.
The Core Series exists to define the conversation, not respond to it.
“If you are serious about understanding HR’s agenda in Africa, the Talent agenda series is the place to be.”
A considered programme, not a calendar
The Core Series is delivered through a small number of regional Core Editions, each grounded in a distinct labour market and leadership context.
Together, these editions form a single, coherent programme - aligned in purpose, while allowing regional specificity.
The Core Series is defined by:
Owner-led agenda design
Senior HR participation by invitation
Structured discussion with visible presence
Curated insight developed over time
It is built for serious contribution.
Participation with intent
The Core Series operates on an invite-led basis and is structured around continuity rather than episodic engagement.
Those taking part are senior HR leaders with responsibility for talent, leadership, or workforce strategy. Engagement is expected to be informed by professional experience and sustained over time.
Participation typically runs on an annual cycle, reflecting the emphasis on ongoing contribution. Presence is visible at platform level, while discussions are conducted in closed settings. Insight is synthesised and curated, with candour protected.
Taken together, this reflects senior-level engagement in agenda-setting work and an ongoing role in shaping how talent priorities are understood within specific regional contexts. The Core Series is designed for considered contribution, not scale.
