Strategic Talent Management and Workforce Capability

Talent management fails when it becomes a set of disconnected programmes rather than a joined up strategy. This programme shows delegates how to build an integrated approach that attracts, grows and keeps the capability the organisation needs. The focus is on aligning talent activity with future business direction.

What you will be able to do

  • Design a talent strategy linked to business direction.
  • Map current capability against future requirements.
  • Integrate attraction, development and retention activity.
  • Segment talent to focus effort where it matters most.
  • Build talent pools for critical and scarce roles.
  • Measure the strength and depth of organisational talent.
