Mounting evidence suggests the U.S. economy is on pace to recover much sooner than previously expected. But
unlike previous economic rebounds, corporate chiefs remain under intense pressure to slash costs through
restructuring and layoff programs in their effort to restore healthy profit growth. How can companies achieve
further productivity gains with an already pared down work force and reduced capital expenditures?
Please join us at Hunt-Scanlon's second annual Human Capital Advantage Forum at The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City where John F.
Welch Jr., widely considered the preeminent CEO of his generation, will be our keynote speaker. In his scheduled luncheon
address, the former GE chief executive will conduct a full hour-long Q&A session enabling Mr. Welch and the audience
to freely engage in issues relating to human capital, recruitment and searching for senior-level talent. All delegates
to the conference will receive a gratis, pre-signed copy of Straight from the Gut, Mr. Welch's best-selling book.
In addition to Mr. Welch, our distinguished roster of guest speakers will include CEOs and top HR executives from Fortune
500 companies, as well as leading executive search consultants, journalists and investment analysts who will share their
perspective on critical human capital topics including:
- Building a human capital structure dedicated to client satisfaction
- How Wall Street values human capital
- What the future holds for online recruiting
- Effectively managing human assets through financial restraints
- Implementing the best systems to insure against candidate falsification

Why Human Capital Remains the Most Important Asset for Competitive Advantage |
|
| - |
Nowhere is human capital a more highly prized commodity than in the financial services
arena, where top rainmakers are essential for bottom line success. However, a prolonged slump in the financial markets has led to
an increasing flight of talent among Wall Street firms, where upfront guarantees are a thing of the past. The top human resource
executive from a leading global investment banking firm will discuss how the competition to attract and retain key talent has changed
after the post-recessionary period and September 11th.
