Why is it important?

Most people processes are a legacy of command and control structures, which are now unworkable. Instead we need processes to suit a model that works on 'shared visions, values and understanding.' These are new approaches to performance management, career development, talent management and succession planning using a four-point framework to foster innovation and flexibility.

Perspectives

How do we define talent? What does talent management mean? Who is it for? What should it achieve? Who is responsible for it? These are just some of the questions that too often lack a shared understanding. In today’s fast-paced, constantly changing world, talent management must harness everyone’s talents to the strategic ambitions of the organisation, looking as far into the future as possible. This article proposes perspectives to help you achieve a shared understanding of talent management that focuses on future success.
