Developing a ‘talent focus’ in your business, does not need to be complex, expensive and risky!

Some questions you need to be asking:

• How does your company invest in and grow talent?
• How is this ‘talent focus’ included in your strategic framework?
• What priority is talent management in your business and how is it represented? Are you senior leaders really accountable as ‘talent nurturers’?
• What specific support is provided to your high potential people to accelerate development?
• What opportunities do you provide high potential individuals to explore other non-competitive industries and hear some of the most senior leaders (CEOs, Academics etc in Australia talk about experiences and expertise?
