Kantata Hosts Webinar On Optimizing Business Performance Through Talent Engagement

Join Industry Experts Dave Hofferberth and Charles Gustine for Key Insights from SPI’s 2023 Professional Services Talent Benchmark 

IRVINE, Calif., and LONDON – November 30, 2023 – Kantata, the leading global supplier of purpose-built technology for professional services, is hosting a webinar on December 7, 2023, at 11 am ET. In this webinar, Dave Hofferberth, the Managing Director of Service Performance Insight (SPI), and Charles Gustine, Brand Evangelist, Kantata, will highlight key findings from the 2023 Professional Services Talent Benchmark and explore the effect talent development has on the ability to optimize performance as a business grows.

In the Talent Benchmark report, the first report since 2020, SPI benchmarks the performance of  Professional Services Organizations (PSOs) across key talent metrics and highlights the top talent-centric challenges these organizations face. The report highlights key challenges faced by PSOs, scoring them on a 1 to 10 scale, including employee cost (6.47), the need to develop new skills for expansion (6.41), nurturing new leadership (6.29), and preserving culture amidst growth (6.15). 

Emphasizing the recurring theme of skills development, SPI underscores its critical role by stating, “Cultivating necessary skills becomes increasingly vital as PSOs extend into new business models.” As PSOs strive to expand and innovate in their business models, the importance of finding or developing the skills essential for competitiveness and growth is on the rise.

Against this backdrop, this webinar promises a holistic exploration of talent challenges and workforce trends. Attendees will gain valuable insights into bill rates, salaries, and attrition metrics drawn from organizations like theirs. The objective is to assist businesses in maintaining a competitive cost base, establishing rates in harmony with industry standards, and addressing the underlying barriers to success in talent-centric challenges faced by business leaders.
