Description:
In recent years, globalization and technological advances have completely transformed the business landscape. In this new world of constant innovation, businesses must be sufficiently agile and future-focused to-keep pace with rapid change. Command and control systems no longer work effectively, nor do extended hierarchies of management. To be successful, tomorrow’s leaders must recognize the importance of their people and the value of their talent.
Strategic Talent Development is a comprehensive guide on how to design and implement an effective, high-performance talent strategy across the whole organization. It will help leaders to:
• develop talent for the future
• encourage an organizational culture that is collaborative and innovative
• direct and coordinate their people to encourage flexibility and rapid responses
• actively harness employee engagement
Structured around a unique new model, the Four-Point Framework, Strategic Talent Development will enable leaders to transform their employees’ talent into a competitive advantage in order to deliver strategic success.
