The Human Capital Institute and SFU Business Announce Networking Event

The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and SFU Business at Simon Fraser University (SFU), consistently ranked among Canada’s top comprehensive universities, today announced that Dan Hilbert, Manager of Employment Services for Valero Energy, will speak at a B-School Network and Learn event for the Vancouver business community.

The networking breakfast event will be held on Tuesday, December 5, 2006, from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM PT, at the Segal Graduate School of Business, 500 Granville Street at Pender in Vancouver.

The presentation, Strategic Workforce Leadership: Raising the Bar on Workforce Design and Planning, will share Hilbert’s highly acclaimed Strategic Workforce Leadership(TM) model. Built upon strategic business processes, precision data, and advanced technologies, the model is at the forefront of workforce design and planning.

Hilbert will also share his latest refinements to the model, including new approaches to departmental structure, predictive workforce modeling, advanced metrics, and technologies to increase workforce productivity in the face of challenging demographic changes.

Considered among the top talent acquisition and strategic workforce planning leaders in the world today, Dan Hilbert is frequently cited for his work at Valero. He has been referred to as the world’s most brilliant workforce technology architect by HRsmart, and has been called the Bill Gates of workforce design and planning by Jobster.

Dan Hilbert’s efforts in workforce planning, workforce metrics, and talent acquisitions have resulted in more than a dozen awards.

Dan Hilbert’s innovative systems and processes have redefined the nature of workforce management, said Allan Schweyer, HCI’s President and Executive Director. This session provides Vancouver business leaders with an opportunity to learn how Hilbert’s highly successful methods can be applied to their organizations.

There is no charge for the SFU Business event, and it is open to the public. Professionals interested in attending should call 866-538-1909 or visit HCI’s website to register. For a list of Human Capital B-School events at prestigious universities throughout the U.S. and Canada, please visit:
