Crafting an Agile Talent Management Strategy in the Age of Talent

December 02, 2009

Characteristics of traditional TM

• The majority of firms don’t have a defined and distributed talent management strategy (Could your executives even put a name to yours?)
• If they have a talent management strategy, it is static and only revisited every 3-5 years
• Most have only three modes of operation… growth, cost containment (freezes) and reductions
• Most shift between the three modes depending on the available budget or “when they are told/ forced to by others”
• Most have no formal competitive analysis process
