There’s a misconception today in Talent Development that equates “training” to “classroom.” Today's consumer of training is very different from previous generations. As Talent Development professionals, we have to think about the many ways people get their content and information. Developing talent today means engaging employees:-->> In a way that makes sense to them-->> Helps them to be more effective at their job-->> Prepares them for bigger roles ... all within the context of people having less discretionary time to focus on career development. We have to have a multi-tiered approach to reaching employees, in as many ways as possible.Consider this question: How much do you currently spend on Talent Development? This can be tricky for Talent Developers to answer given the multiple indirect and hard to quantify costs associated with developing people, like time away from the job, ramp-up time, travel, etc. And the single biggest complaint about training, when discussing talent development, is that it costs too much and takes too long to show results! As a result, organizations find my approach refreshing. We start with what you’re already spending and develop a Talent Blueprint, so you get more out of your investment. We’ll show exactly how and where to reallocate resources, in a way that is more aligned with company goals; and, more importantly, we’ll develop metrics for showing the success of the investment.Simply put, we are your one-stop resource for any kind of talent challenge.
