While traditional “talent management” programs have focused on attracting, developing, retaining and positioning the best High Potential (HiPo) workers, technical talent management focuses on attracting, developing, retaining, positioning and transferring the knowledge of the best High Professional (HiPro) workers. HiPros are the “go to” people, the in-house experts, on business processes, problems, customers or issues. Traditional succession planning and traditional talent management programs have ignored the critically-important HiPro group.
Successful organizations of the future will not be those with the most advanced technology or the most liquid capital. They will, instead, be those that are systematically managing and developing talent—including technical talent--to gain and sustain competitive advantage.
Many HR practitioners are faced with the need to coordinate the start up of a comprehensive talent management system. However, they often wonder where to start and what to do. This session will provide a detailed approach to guide that start up. While that approach may need to be modified and aligned with each corporate culture, it provides enough details for you to prepare and implement a project plan to implement the talent management system. It goes beyond that traditional focus to add a new, special element—that is, a focus on leveraging the knowledge of HiPros.
