TM2: How Talent Technology Supports Agile Resource Deployment at Team Rubicon
How Talent Technology Supports Agile Resource Deployment at Team Rubicon
Event Link
Wednesday 05 October
03:30 PM – 04:30 PM
Founded in the wake of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that shook Haiti in 2010, Team Rubicon is a nonprofit organization with a two-fold mission: to provide immediate relief when disaster happens, and to provide military veterans with purpose, community and self-worth after leaving active duty. In the early days, several logistical and operational challenges prevented Team Rubicon from scaling up. Its technology systems — essentially one-to-one email communication and Excel spreadsheets — severely hampered timely deployments. New technology came to the rescue in 2014 and now it can provide cultural and organizational training that prepares team members for deployment the moment disaster strikes. In 2015 alone, Team Rubicon deployed more than 1,300 veterans to 35 domestic and 3 international operations totaling more than 75,000 hours of on-the-ground disaster response. Learn how you too can become more agile in positioning your talent to the projects and locations where they are needed the most.
