Many organisations do not start with a clear definition of Talent or a clear Talent Strategy
The Reason
Talent Strategies are not consistently applied or communicated across the whole organisation and as a result the Talent Strategy is not embedded in employees’ mind-set
Only 20% of organisations openly communicate their Talent Strategy
Talent Strategies are responsive to external market conditions, but they do not show how they are different from their competitors
78% are responsive to market conditions 28% use TM to show how they are different to their competitors

Does your talent model show you are different from your competitors?
Only 5% of organisations measure the ROI of their talent practices
Organisations focus on talent has increased over the past three years and they need to increase their focus over the next three years to remain competitive and drive ROI
98% of organisations are using competency/ behavioural/capability models as the starting point and over 80% are linked to the strategy of the organisation
Organisations encourage individuals to play to their strengths
73% are moving towards a strengths based approach to talent
72% encourage their leaders to identify their own strengths
However some strengths and behaviours are dynamically opposed
Organisations encourage their Leaders to be “Pragmatic” and “Innovative”. People who are “Pragmatic” are sensible and realistic and make the most of their time. They draw upon previous experiences; and carefully consider the consequences of their actions
People who are “Innovative” are creative, conceptual thinkers, considering new and novel ways of working. Whereas “Pragmatic” individuals prefer to retain a more sensible or practical approach
However some strengths and behaviours are dynamically opposed
Organisations encourage their Leaders to be “Authentic” and unique
They would also like employees to be “Compliant” and act in line with the organisational norms and values
Organisations are increasingly interested in the cultural fit of potential Talent
76% of FTSE 100 and 85% Fortune Global 500 publish their corporate values online 56% are measuring values and cultural fit as part of their talent model and recruitment strategy
Behaviours, Skills and Expertise, Strengths and Values are critical to understanding the Physiology of Talent
98% of the FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 Global organisations use behavioural competency/capability models for assessment
27% moved from competencies to capabilities in the last three years
Measures of Skills and Expertise are now seen as critical to success
73% of organisations are moving towards a Strengths based approach
76% of FTSE 100 and 85% Fortune Global 500 publish their corporate values online
56% are measuring Values, Tenets and Cultural Fit as part of their talent model and recruitment strategy

Your talent system therefore needs to assess the core
Behaviours – Encourages Diversity, Manages Performance
Expertise – Safety Focused, Customer Focused
Strengths – Decisive, Innovative
Tenets – Structured, Collaborative
Your organisation is unique Imposing a standardised BEST model will detract from that uniqueness We therefore suggest that it must have its own Organisation Blueprint of Behaviours, Expertise, Strengths and Tenets (or BEST Tags)
Tailor your talent management to match the organisation BEST Blueprint
