Talent Pipelines - A Wadenhoe Preview Workshop
"Someone said to me recently that Talent is the scarcest resource of all - it's not!
The leadership challenge is finding it inside the organisation and then keeping it"
Ray Atkinson - January 2013.
The focus of this one-day Preview Workshop is to share our latest experience and thinking around Talent Pipelines. Sustaining the "Pipeline" metaphor, we will consider:
Exploration (Finding it)
Developing Line Managers so that they are better equipped to find raw talent and designing assessment/development processes that will confirm potential.
Refinement (Nurturing it)
Nurturing and developing your talent so that it is ready when you need it.
Distribution (Moving it)
Developing a shared language for transferable capabilities, which enable you to move talent around the organisation.
Consumption (Using it)
Capitalising on potential in a way that benefits the organisation; the individual and is at the same time renewable.
Then we will look at ways of removing four costly pipeline blockages caused by:
Procedures replacing Passion
Talent Management strategies that fail because they are just that - management - relying too much on monitoring and controlling the process.
|
Complicated Competencies
That confuse people and are not always generalisable across organisational, geographical, functional or cultural boundaries
|
Stereotype Succession Plans
Which reflect traditional approaches to "succession" and are often ignored, when put to the test in today's dynamic business environment.
|
Present Priorities
Short term fixes that distract from an effective strategy, resulting in de-motivating promotion mistakes and loss of confidence, by individuals and the organisation

In our experience a lot is said and written about "Talent Pipelines" without very many practical tools to support it. In this whole-day workshop, four of our team will help to provide the answers. You can choose from three possible locations:
The Link Hotel & Conference Centre, Loughborough - Tuesday 5th March 2013
Eynsham Hall, near Witney, Oxfordshire - Thursday 7th March 2013
The Westbury Hotel, Central London - Tuesday 12th March 2013
There will be a small charge of £75.00 + vat per person for the day, which includes lunch.
