The Value of Talent: Promoting Talent Management across the Organization

Talent management is a viewpoint: a different perspective on managing people and on managing organizations. It adopts the view that an organization is comprised of a set of skills and abilities that enable it to function to progress and to excel. Identifying those skills and developing them to their full potential is therefore fundamental to growing an organization.
