Talent Management Systems

We work with organizations to design and implement talent management systems that are tailored to their needs and culture. Many organizations view talent management as planning for replacing executives who leave a position and ensuring that a successor is ready to assume the position. But an effective talent management system fills the leadership pipeline with high-performing individuals to insure that critical leadership positions have a number of these performers from whom to draw. A total system is needed to attract, acquire, develop and retain talent which is linked to business objectives.

Based on our work with best practice organizations, we help our clients to differentiate performance and potential. We support companies to design talent management systems to fit their requirements by:

• Designing customized leadership competency models including specific success factors
• Identifying standards for evaluating both performance and potential
• Developing a process and common language to communicate these standards throughout the organization
• Reviewing plans and progress of talent management processes and systems

Our succession management systems determine the number and quality of candidates for key positions and actively accelerate their development. We help companies identify key positions and talent to effectively match individual and organizational needs.

Executive Development Consulting’s talent management processes are action oriented and help clients measure desired outcomes including:

• An available bench of successors who are ready to assume critical leadership positions
• Managers are prepared to assume these positions and meet business needs
• An actively managed leadership development process which is linked with succession planning
• Optimum retention of key leaders
