Nov 4, 2008 - Nov 6, 2008,
Grand InterContinental Seoul, Seoul, Seoul National Capital Area, South Korea 100791

Due to global sourcing and cross-border workforce mobility, the development of globally competitive human resources has now become a necessity, not a matter of choice, for all. Global competence is the key issue for all international organizations, governments, enterprises and individuals, because today, literally everyone is competing and cooperating on a global basis, not just a few talented people. Indeed, qualified human resources serve as the major building block for the betterment of individuals, corporations and societies, and ultimately shared global prosperity. This recognition is calling for a common worldwide effort to develop and utilize competent human resources, not to mention stronger collaboration between governments, enterprises and educational institutions.

It was upon this understanding of the necessity of an international HRD approach that the Government of Korea inaugurated the Global Human Resources Forum in 2006, in collaboration with the private sector. The 1stt Global HR Forum, held in November 2006, brought together over 2,500 global leaders from the public and private sector including international organizations and presidents of leading universities around the world, to share innovative approaches and search for better HRD solutions. Key contributors included Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft, Paul Wolfowitz, Chairman of the World Bank, high-ranking officials from the OECD and UNESCO, Bertel Haarder, Minister of the Danish Education Ministry, and Robert Barro, Professor at Harvard University.
