Creating sustainable Talent Strategies

Get total clarity on how a talent strategy can make a difference.

Most organisations do not have clear talent strategies.  They have processes, tools, programmes and lots of activity. But no clear strategy that explains how their approach to Talent will create sustainable, outsize value.

Typically organisations have "best" approaches.  The "best" place to work, the "best" place for skills, the "best" data, the "best" assessments. But these don't really set a direction or tell you what to do. They don't force choices, they are at core another way of saying doing the basics well.

For many organisations this has been fine.  They have worked in markets which were not overly competitive, where being OK is good enough and Talent is has only been really important at the level of the senior leadership team.

But this world is changing.  The changes in attitudes to work, how work is done, the skills and what a career will look like means the talent offer needs to change. The value that Talent needs to bring to the people in an organisation needs to be much sharper. The old playbooks are not working.

 

This is where we help by creating sharp and exciting Talent strategies, fit for the future of work.

We are not focused on senior leadership, as a group they are well served. We are focused on the core of the organisation.  The people who do the work.  How does a talent strategy add value for them.
