Loyalty Summit 2009
Loyalty Summit 2009 brings you the speakers, information and the networking opportunities to ensure that your loyalty strategy stays ahead of the game and keeps your customers coming back. In a competitive marketplace and let's face it - there aren't many uncompetitive ones, a loyal customer is worth their weight in gold as loyal customers mean consistent revenue and a healthier bottom line. The problem is that loyalty programmes have proliferated to such a degree that loyalty itself is close to becoming a commoditised sales tool.
This year's agenda looks at how you can stimulate loyalty among your customer base with the power of your brand and how this can be complemented and reinforced by providing an excellent customer experience. Industry leading executives & well known international Authors and Consultants will not be focusing on why customer loyalty can be achieved in this fashion, but how it can be done.

World HRD Congress 2009
For the past decade and more, a truism about talent development called 70-20-10 has evolved, with 70 per cent of learning and development taking place 'on the job', 20 per cent from feedback, observation and working with mentors/role models, and only 10 per cent can be attributed to formal training such as management, education/development programmes etc. The employer brand focus has made several organisations re-think about learning, leading and leadership. The challenge is to make leadership the top build of the employer brand attitude. To meet this challenge, the human resources leaders must develop a leadership strategy that leads business to better insight and action. A defined leadership is to clearly define actions and behaviours, which are transparent so that the teams follow. This will communicate the right message across the organisation.
Discover what organisations like Accenture, Strategic Action Group, Ltd., Deloitte, Touche Tohmatsu, Performance Improvement (PI) Solutions, Inc, Nokia Siemens Network Sub Region – Indonesia, Thomson Reuters, Microsoft China Co. Ltd, PeopleValue, The Harley Group International, ABG Shipyard Ltd., Novartis India Ltd, ONGC, Steria India Ltd., ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd., Dr. Reddys Laboratories Ltd., etc. are doing to develop a leadership strategy.

December
9th Annual Career Development Conference
Gone are the days when employees were happy to work simply for a salary. When it comes down to it, employees everywhere say they like to feel appreciated and one of the best ways for a company to recognise and appreciate its staff is through offering them development opportunities.
When we talk about career development we are not talking about the occasional training course, or perhaps a promotion every few years. It's far more than that. Employees want to see that the organisation values them enough to invest in them – to invest both time and money to help build their capacity to make a meaningful contribution at work.
This year's conference will focus on the growing challenge of talent retention and how you must focus heavily on your career development strategies to ensure you are developing and retaining the talent you have.
