🌱 We usually discover a capability gap when we already need the capability.
⬆️ A manager is promoted before they are ready. 🚪 A key person leaves and there is no successor. ⚡ The business changes faster than people's skills. And suddenly, development stops being a “nice to have.”

❓ So when should organizations start investing in the people they will need tomorrow?

At 🚂 The Cost of Leadership | 13th Annual Regional HR Conference, Dr. Sergey Tantushyan will lead this conversation with Liana Ghaltaghchyan, Larisa Hovannisian, Dr. Mohamed Samir, and Dr. Vache Gabrielyan.

🧩 Their experience stretches from corporate leadership and executive education to coaching, public policy, education and human capital development - giving us very different perspectives on the same question.

🔎 The Cost of Talent Development panel discussion - examining the investment organizations make in learning, leadership development, succession and future capabilities.

💸 You invest in new technology to make the business faster, smarter, better. Then comes the difficult question: did anything actually change?
🧠 Because the real cost of digital transformation doesn't stop with software, implementation, or infrastructure. It reaches budgets, processes, people, skills, culture - and the leaders responsible for making all of it work together. ⚙️

At 🚂 The Cost of Leadership | 13th Annual Regional HR Conference, Ahmed Adel will lead this conversation with Ralph Yirikian, Anush Grigoryan, Dr. Elie Moussallem, and Armen Kocharyan.

A telecom leader, a CFO with hands-on responsibility for a core banking system, a human capital and organizational development expert, and a technology entrepreneur - looking at transformation from very different seats.

🔎 What does it really take to turn investment in technology into lasting organizational change?

🤝 The Cost of Digital Transformation panel discussion is organized in partnership with Spark.work - Panel Partner, bringing its own experience at the intersection of technology, people, strategy, and ex*****on.

💰 A bad hire is expensive. A great hire can be expensive too. And sometimes the most expensive position is the one you simply cannot fill.
⁉️ So what does talent acquisition really cost a business?

At 🚂 The Cost of Leadership | 13th Annual Regional HR Conference, we are putting different sides of the hiring market around one table.

🎤 Led by Luiza Avetisyan, the conversation brings together Dov Zavadskis , Tatev Blbulyan, Ani Meruzhan Margaryan , and Sevada Baghdyan - people who have built recruitment businesses, hired for organizations, searched for senior leaders, worked with hard-to-find talent, and are now watching AI change the rules again.

🔎 The Cost of Talent Acquisition - exploring the financial, operational, and strategic costs of attracting, hiring, and securing the right talent.

📊 Every workplace policy has a cost.
Some strengthen trust, engagement, and performance. Others quietly increase turnover, burnout, disengagement, and organizational risk.
⚔️ The challenge for leaders is recognizing the difference.

👥 "The Cost of Policies on People" panel discussion will explore how HR policies, people-management practices, and workforce decisions influence employees, business performance, retention, wellbeing, and long-term organizational sustainability.

🤝 In partnership with Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), this advocacy discussion will bring together experts to identify key HR challenges and contribute to the Armenian HR Association's recommendations for improving HR standards in Armenia.

📊 Nearly 3 out of 4 employers worldwide report difficulty finding people with the skills they need.
The talent shortage is no longer just an HR issue. It is becoming an economic one.

So, perhaps, the conversation should begin much earlier - not when people enter the workforce, but while they are still preparing for it.

🎓 "The Cost of Dual Education" panel discussion will explore how closer collaboration between education providers and employers can help bridge the skills gap and create stronger pathways into employment.

🤝 In partnership with GIZ Armenia, this international discussion will bring together experts and practitioners to share experiences, challenges, and successful models from different countries.
