What we heard about Waves 2020

How helpful was the content?

"The introduction by your CEO and subsequent product/system road mapping was very informative however the inclusion of your present client testimonials and case scenarios were invaluable. Those really brought your system and services to a complete circle and tied off your overall conference."

What was the single most valuable thing you learned at Waves?

"Capturing experience without having to conduct assessments/validations from past roles."

What was the single most valuable thing you learned at Waves?

"How change management is a huge component in making the competencies stick."

What was the single most valuable thing you learned at Waves?

"How change management is a huge component in making the competencies stick."

What was the single most valuable thing you learned at Waves?

"That your system can capture and migrate date from one system to another to allow the client the flexibility to use the date to make intelligent decisions on employee development and competencies."

WAVES is the first conference solely focused on the application of technology to address the challenge of competency and skills management. Whether your competency programs are geared towards competency assurance to satisfy regulations or focused on workforce development to meet the challenges of tomorrow, Waves is not to be missed. Attendees will hear from leading-edge organizations about how they have successfully implemented competency and skills-based programs into their Human Capital Management processes. And of course, there will be plenty of “show and tell” covering all of the new and exciting developments from our best-in-class competency platform, Kahuna!

The conference will provide you with the opportunity to network with your peers who share experiences in one of the fundamental issues facing Learning/Development & Operational leaders; utilizing competencies and skills to retool the workforce of the future.
