Last year, Ed Rodriquez, VP of Organizational and Leadership Development for Ventura Foods, shared with ATD-OC how they achieved success with their Staying Sharp Initiative by securing executive sponsorship, establishing a clear link to the organization’s strategy and vision, and taking a leadership approach.
Peter Fisher, Vice President of Field HR at Ventura Foods, shares the implementation of leadership competencies at Ventura Foods and the integration of those competencies into its performance management system. Peter will share the lessons learned and attendees will learn how to start the competency development process and put these competencies into action at their respective organizations.
