Yogesh played the role of moderating the panel said "Challenge to Talent Management is basically on account of 4 key parameters viz: Technology changes; demographic changes; Societal changes and globalization". The panel had a discussion around how to address these. The basic conclusion is there is no common solution that will fit all but HR needs to get into serious diagnostics to create a tailor-made response to each of these challenges. The theme of management has changed from command-control to influence. After noon part of the event was kick started by Unmesh Pawar, Senior Vice President, HR, Accenture India BPO on the session "HR Transformation - Journey to Value".

It starts with having a detailed and accurate Job description when one sets out to hire, having a rigorous hiring process and a process to track development of a resource once he/she is on boarded". He also added to the panel saying that "Given the generational differences, HR needs to be ready to cater to the young as well as relatively older population of employees using differentiated strategies" Shashank also said "Identify the target population carefully ; one cannot expect to realize the potential of all the employees and if that be the case then you need to decide who you wish to retain and invest in from a potential realization standpoint and then go focused in developing & compensating them.
