Program Summary
According to a recent survey by the Economist, senior leaders in organisations often claim that people drive the value of the business. They are right. Senior executives at corporations worldwide judge the ability to attract and retain people as one of the most critical enablers of growth.
But they have to be the right people. Every organisation relies on key clusters of critical talent in order to be able to execute its business strategy. These employees drive a disproportionate share of revenue and earnings. They generate high value for customers and shareholders. They have strong skills and in depth knowledge.
Without a talent management strategy focused on keeping critical people engaged—including talent maps, targeted training, clear career paths, job rotation and other development tools—critical employees may be sending out résumés rather than executing the organisation’s strategy.
This program provides the tools managers need to establish or revitalise, and execute with finesse their own talent management strategy. It is designed to address the talent challenges brought on by changes such as globalization and technology.

- Business managers will appreciate the strategic value of talent and collaborate with HR as a strategic partner to attract, develop and retain the critical talent needed to achieve business goals
- Develop practical skills to enable them to play their role in executing the talent management strategy of the organization
- Prepare business leaders to implement a strategic talent management process to compete successfully in the global economy and capitalize on opportunities
- Become “proactive” versus “reactive” to the demand for critical talent needed to respond to organisation and industry changes
- Identify success skills and traits that can be developed in all employees, and minimize training costs by focusing on key development areas unique to the organisation and its culture
- Close the developmental gap by analysing bench strength test and formulate appropriate talent management plans
- Understand the role and importance of Leadership, Coaching, Mentoring, Action Learning and Acceleration Pools within the organisation
Distinguishing Features
- The program is based on current research and industry best practices in talent management
- The program will be facilitated in an integrated approach that will link desired business outcomes with capability requirements, talent mapping, succession depth and retention risk as the key processes in talent planning towards building a talent pool of high potential people
