Defining Talent

Eddie Blass

Chapter 3 in Talent Management, 2009, pp 24-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract How the organisation chooses to define talent is critical to the success of the talent management system and its achievement against strategic goals. For example, if the strategic objective is that of a change management perspective, then the definition of talent will focus on those who drive and achieve change. If the strategic objective is a developmental approach then the definition of talent might focus on high potentials from their entry into the organisation, often through a graduate recruitment scheme. If the strategic objective is competitive, then the definition of talent will evolve around those individuals who are likely to be head-hunted by competitors.
