The talent agenda is a global challenge for all organisations. Shifting demographics and changing patterns of industry growth mean that talent and knowledge management is now the key driver for business success.
Business and leaders are facing some pressing questions about their future talent pipeline and people strategy. CEOs believe that by 2020 more than a third of the desired core skills of most occupations will be made up of skills that aren’t considered crucial to the job today.*
Business leaders must find a way to get the most out of their people in this complicated, constantly shifting world – nurturing adaptability, re-skilling when they need to and finding untapped sources of talent.
The transfer of talent between professions is a hugely untapped area. Yet it is this concept that can be utilised to help support talent across organisations.
Talent transfer can help successfully identify and develop talented individuals from one profession and transfer them by minimising transitional issues, reducing time frames and maximising return on the developmental investment already made.
