MemphisConnect, the Leadership Academy’s innovative talent attraction and retention strategy for Memphis Fast Forward, earned the organization an invitation to participate in the Brookings Institution-facilitated 24th Young Leaders Conference of the Council for the United States and Italy. The Leadership Academy joined 46 other participants chosen from the United States, Italy and other European countries to share strategies in the international “war for talent” — a key concern of the Fast Forward plan.
The conference, held in Torino, Italy, examined the transformation of the global economy and the workplace as it affects competition for staff, domestically and internationally, between and within governments, the private sector, and other non-governmental organizations.
