PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Most organisations acknowledge that talent management is an essential component in achieving success and that ‘talent leverage’, in many cases, can be the only differentiating factor in forging competitive advantage. The last decade has seen an explosion of organisational intent and energy to embrace talent management and the majority of organisations has made strides in forming a cohesive philosophy and strategy that translates into frontline impact. However, there are different interpretations of what talent management encompasses with ‘best practice’ too widely diffused and much inconsistency or sub-optimal performance remains.
Thus, when it comes to embedding practice that optimises talent management just how well are organisations doing? Most organisations possess a talent management strategy but how effective is it? How informed are organisations in terms of their understanding of talent management and just what is ‘best practice’? How do organisations measure talent management sufficiently in order to manage it? Organisations need to know the answers if they wish to succeed or, indeed, survive going forward.
Strategic Talent Management Clarity & Execution Programme is a hands-on programme that delivers a high impact experience for managers/practitioners whilst providing them with the latest tools, techniques and a practical framework for embedding successful talent management practices within organisations. This intense five-day programme utilises The TM-7F™ approach and related frameworks which connects grounded, underpinning theory with the use of Harvard organisation case studies employing our SCART methodology. Throughout the programme, you will be able to use the learned critical analysis and insight which can be applied through a 360° review of your organisation’s current talent management strategy. Use Programme participants will also gain access to the ground-breaking ManagementPathfinder™ assessment and reporting system.
The STMC&E Programme will provide you/your team with the requisite tools and a more adaptive approach to talent management strategy execution that delivers better organisational performance. This can take many forms, from, for example, (re)defining a definition of talent management for understanding, communication and measurement purposes through to a strategic re-appraisal of organisation TM capabilities and/or processes. Or it could simply provide a robust reinforcement of your current talent management strategy ‘in-force’. Last but not least, the programme will increase your own personal critical thinking and talent management knowledge skills through evidence based analysis. All those successfully completing the programme are invited to our PlayMaker™ network.
