Talent Myopia: System Blindness

1. Spatial BlindnessWe see the parts, but not the whole

2. Temporal BlindnessWe see the present, but not the past on which we stand

3. Relational BlindnessWe do not see the space between us and what is possible

4. Process BlindnessWe differentiate too far and create separation and alienation and not

integrationWe integrate too far and create group think and no differentiation

Our work together

1. In trios please discuss– What has been your best experience of talent management in the NHS?

What specifically made it so?– What do you value most about being part of this TM community?

2. Find another trio, and as a group of six please discuss– Imagine iTM working at its very best this year. What would success

look like?– What important factors are likely to sustain your energy towards

delivering this success?

3. Please capture your key messages on the post it notes and stick these under the appropriate headings
