Measuring and Managing Your
Organization’s Talent Management Function
Speaker:
John C. Scott, Ph.D. , Vice President
Applied Psychological Techniques, Inc.
Leaders of top performing organizations
understand the significance of Talent
Management (TM) in advancing business
strategy, driving competitive advantage, and
strengthening the long-term viability of
their organizations. While the benefits of a
well managed TM function are no less
significant than the long-term success of
the company, the consequences of a poorly
administered TM program are also
significant. They can range from the loss of
hard-to-acquire talent to more extreme
outcomes such as a leadership vacuum created
by the failure to prepare for the
retirement/loss of key executives or
expensive class-action litigation resulting
from poorly executed TM practices. The best
insurance for realizing the full benefits of
TM is to develop a thorough understanding of
what is required to meet the organization’s
business objectives and strategies and
evaluate the TM function against those
criteria. This presentation will focus on
how organizations can incorporate TM
evaluation as part of their strategic and
tactical plans, making the evaluation of the
TM function and practice areas an ongoing
activity and priority.
