Indispensible Practices – Designed Processes Four Questions • What talent decisions do you want to make? • What data do you need and from whom do you need it? • How will the data be collected? • How will the data be reduced, analyzed and organized to enable good talent decisions?
Indispensible Practices – Measures and Metrics Measure • The experience • The results • The impact
A Way Forward • There is no ‘big bang’ • Try not to go it alone • Follow these simple steps: • Choose a place to begin • Enlist support • Get started, but start small • Learn from your mistakes
Choose a Place to Begin • In your organization • what are ‘the things?’ • which of them has the ‘greatest potential for helping employees do their best..?’ Talent management is “the collection of things companies do that help employees do the best they can each and every day.”
Choose a Place to Begin – part 2 Then consider… • What is currently being done? • How is it perceived? • Is there a critical business issue? • Are there any natural sponsors or allies? Then do something!
Enlist Support • Socialize your ideas • Speak business • Tell a compelling story • Describe the issue • Identify possible causes • Clarify the contribution of better talent management • Lay out the plan • Create business allies • Don’t ignore HR
Get Started Remember to think… • Small, not big • Simple, not complex • Easy, not hard • Business, not HR
Learn from Your Mistakes Manage projects Conduct after action reviews Do be afraid of what you learn
And in the End… Be business focused Be well prepared Be business focused Be realistic Be business focused Look for small wins Be humble
