Founded by Sigmar Recruitment more than a decade ago, Talent Summit is now firmly established as the place for human resources (HR) professionals, talent advisers and business leaders to gain insights into the latest thinking. “For the past two years we have discussed the potential of AI,” says Julia Purcell of Sigmar Recruitment and founding director of Talent Summit. Yet again Talent Summit brings top national and international speakers to Dublin to provide fresh thinking about the future of HR. Wax urges leaders to look beyond individual fixes and instead focus on redesigning the “coal mine” – the organisational cultures that are overheating their human talent. “In some organisations, we’re seeing new digital tools tested every week, yet productivity isn’t rising,” says Julia Purcell, the founding director of Talent Summit.
