Our most important decisions often hinge on intangible elements we call values. Strategic direction is often based on intuitive "gut instinct" not easily expressed by facts and data. New targets and related goals are often value-driven. And yet, business wants "value-added" talent initiatives. How does HR help connect talent values with value-added ROI?

A formal behavioral science called axiology measures values and the intangibles which underlie decisions and motivations. Axiology comes from the Greek roots "axios" (worth or value) and 'logos' (logic). This science makes possible the objective measurement of values as accurately as a thermometer measures heat. What are the implications for talent development? We know that value-driven initiatives attain and surpass stretch goals. Individuals and their managers can use a value profile to formulate development plans. And when organizations collaborate on new initiatives, teams and leaders make better decisions if they are aware of the values each contributor brings to the table. This learning track will explore applications of behavioral science to talent management and development. Whether you are in HR, help define strategy, lead a team or contribute to one, these webcasts will offer insight about how values can accelerate desired results.
