On December 12, 2019, Mitch Golob, President of Corporate Navigators, was invited to participate as an expert panelist at the Executive Search Information Exchange (ESIX, now known as IX Communities). The subject was “Moving Past Name Generation.”
Additional panelists included Judith Mayer from Mayer Search, Paul O’Carroll from Succession Research, and Rachel Davis from Armstrong Craven.
This year-end event was located at The W Hotel in New York City. The panel, “Moving Past Name Generation,” was the first of three subjects discussed at this event, which included a Member Case Study of Gwen DeFilippi, the Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel & Services at the US Air Force. Gender Gaps at the leadership level followed as the final topic, followed by a roundtable discussion, news roundup, and networking reception.
“Moving Past Name Generation” Panel
President Mitch Golob was one of four expert panelists at the first topic of discussion at ESIX’s year-end event. Here is a brief overview of the topic discussed:
“More and more members are looking at the use of external research as a strategic tool as opposed to a purely tactical one. In fact, almost 40% of ESIX Benchmark Survey respondents are now using external research firms for gathering competitive or market intelligence, and some are using them specifically for their succession planning process.
“We will be joined by a panel of four member-recommended research consultants who have been assisting clients with such projects as succession plans, talent intelligence, and salary benchmarking reports. This panel will discuss how we can elevate the use of external research to both take our function upstream, and to make a greater strategic impact on our organizations.”
We are thankful for these opportunities to share our expertise and network with other experts in the Recruitment space.
