We would prefer to call ittalent development, as it isactually quite difficult tomanage talent. Talent slips androlls around an organisationand often before you realiseit, it has disappeared out ofthe door.

Organisations often try to

set-up talent managementprocesses, but real successcomes when you engagewith the hearts and mindsof individuals. The organis-ations that achieve mostsuccess with this are thosewhere the visions and valuesof the organisation are alignedwith the individual.

Fundamentally, talentdevelopment needs attentionto make it happen. It also needsa holistic approach, likecustomer service, qualitystandards, and health and

safety. You cannot just give theresponsibility to one personand hope that it will happen.There has to be a belief and acommitment to make it happenfrom the CEO and the executiveright through line managementto the newest recruit.

Organisations can convincethemselves that talentmanagement is being carriedout when they create asystem to define the steps oroutline a process to managetalent. However, talent

development only happenswhen you create a culturebased on shared valuesand beliefs, where thinking

its commitment through itsbehaviours and attitudes.

Individuals joining anorganisation need to feelthat they are valued andthat their contribution willmake a difference. It iseasy to say that this ishappening, but far harderto have concrete evidenceof its application.

In any discussion abouttalent development, it isimportant first to emphasisethe development of allindividuals. No organisationshould focus all its attentionon developing only part of itshuman capital. What isimportant, however, is

recognising the needs ofdifferent individuals withinits community.

In the search for aneffective process fordeveloping talent, mostorganisations recognise theneed to do it differently. Thechallenge is often to identifyhow and where to start. Wewanted to identify modelsand case studies that providerelevant examples of how tomove from the theory topractical application.

We also recognised that

talented people do notnecessarily fit into an easysystem of classification.People are talented in manyways. Some may have aparticular aptitude for doingsomething which may beprimarily skill based. Othersmay be gifted artistically andyet others may demonstratetheir talent in more courageousways and may be seen asmaverick in their approachto life.
