Talent management effectiveness is key to high performance.
Despite its high-priority status on the agendas of organizational leaders, talent management remains an elusive concept, at least when it comes to perception and consensus on a definition. Is it the sum of its components - recruitment, development, succession planning, performance management and the like - or is it something more? i4cp's research demonstrates that the majority of high-performing organizations use talent management to help them identify, develop and leverage the core talent that is critical to the current and future performance of their companies. It's also clear that mastering talent management helps companies differentiate themselves and thereby gain a competitive advantage.
It's also an area where there's still much room for improvement. According to one i4cp study, while only about one in five organizations report that they manage talent effectively - to a high or very high degree - the ones that do consistently outperform their competitors. i4cp works with organizations to enable high performance through integrated talent management:
