Introduction

Today, we are facing an unprecedented urgency to reinvent talent dynamics. The rapidly converging forces of the pandemic and the rolling waves of activism as a result of the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements have accelerated the need for change.

Changing Talent Practices

Traditional talent processes served the purposes of the last decade, the last millennium even. But we have reached a point where people practices must become more human-centric, intelligent, more robust in their skills and capability matching, more learning and growth-oriented, more enabling, more rigorous in their transparency and inclusivity and better able to deliver the talent optimization that organizations will need in the coming decade. Organizations who are fair, transparent, inclusive, respectful of their people are the ones who will thrive into the future.
