Talent Standards, Development and Succession

Organizations need the right talent in order to be effective, and finding the right talent requires a set of integrated talent management standards and processes. While many organizations have good talent management programs, the programs are often not in alignment or are not executed well to truly produce better talent.

There are three key factors to building organization capability:

  • Take a comprehensive business and organizational strategy perspective when assessing talent
  • Coordinate and connect each element of talent management into a single continuous process
  • Align talent management with and integrate into business planning

Integrated talent management supports organization capability by aligning key processes and decisions with key talent segments. Sibson can help you develop an integrated talent management system that will enable your organization to:

  • Better understand future talent requirements globally
  • More effectively anticipate and address talent gaps
  • Define the requirements of strategic and core roles
  • Improve the ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain talent in strategic and core roles-in the short and long term
  • Improve ability to effectively measure and manage talent
  • Ensure rewards not only differentiate high performance, but recognize and retain critical talent and high potentials

Talent Standards and Processes

Sibson helps clients create talent standards for key roles so that better talent management decisions can be made. Talent standards can include:

  • Behavioral Competencies
  • Technical Competencies
  • Job Duties
  • Individual Objectives
  • Results vs. Goals

Once talent standards are in place, talent processes can be designed and aligned so that high quality talent is ready when needed.
