Beyond Experience: The Science of Great People Decisions
About the episode
Getting the “who” right is the most critical discipline for a company built to last. In this interactive EJ+ session, global talent expert Claudio Fernández-Aráoz will host a one-hour conversation focused on the high-stakes hiring, promotion and succession challenges that attendees are currently facing. Building on the framework from his Tugboat Institute talk at Summit 2025, Claudio will explore how to move beyond basic evaluation to carefully assess the specific competencies required for each job, as well as the indicators of potential so that – once you surround yourself with the best – you can help them become even better each day through great development. Claudio will discuss several real-world talent puzzles for leaders of Evergreen companies, and offer practical guidance for auditing your team with the same discipline you apply to your business. The session will conclude with open Q&A, allowing participants to bring their own questions and challenges into the conversation.
