Future Talent in Business Central – A Shared Responsibility
To inspire and share concrete experiences on how we at Abakion work to attract and retain new talent – not as an HR project, but as a shared business responsibility. Our willingness to invest in our Graduate program comes from the experience, that we can develop new consultants with the right cultural fit, faster than we can source them. Our Graduates also supplies new learning opportunities for our senior consultants, who grow in skills and experience from developing the next generation. And it makes us proud to take part in making Dynamics 365 Business Central, Customer Engagement and the Power Platform attractive to the next generation.

- Why is talent development a leadership task
- How do we do it in practice?
- How is the experience from a graduate perspective?
- What have we learned?
