The link below will bring you to a white paper by Development Dimensions International (DDI). I choose this paper to be my first post because the paper gives some critical info on talent management; definition, business drivers, and best practice examples, which I feel suits best for a beginner in talent management.
This is my sixth year in hr development, talent and succession management, leadership development and other similar functions. Speaking from my experience, one will be amazed with the amount of resources out there in the web. Let me try googling "talent management". I found about 18,500,000 entries in merely 0.22 seconds.
If you start to read article by article, soon you will find yourself in the state of confusion over many things; terms used, models, frameworks, bla.. bla.. bla.. That what happened to me six years ago. It took sometimes for me to digest them bit by bit and I am still learning, actively.
Let's experience it, happy reading!

I do agree with you when me myself try to vet thru those as references. Hence I believe the whole innitial framework of Talent Management that made available to us are more or less cycling in the same shape but now evolve with increasing speed via organisation best practices, strategy response to industry & employee market demands & the behavior of organizations as players. All these give inputs that updates the innitial TM framework towards its maturity. Therefore what important for us to begin is sticking/maneuver ourselves with a preferred/owned TM framework as our sailing boat and from there we fishing around for updates.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteI personally believe that there is no one way to look at talent management. There are actually many and one may reach a state of confusion. But that is not the real challenge! The ultimate challenge is to define your scope, definition, focus, and hence, develop your own framework. Contextual org factors such as org structure, culture, and many more need to be seriously considered. Wish you luck in the process!
