Organisations are increasingly putting emphasis on talent management as a means of delivering longterm competitive advantage through their people. In a recent survey by Cranfield School of Management, 60 per cent of businesses said talent management was essential to the bottom line.

However, this survey showed a major disconnect between word and deed – it found that only 49 per cent of UK businesses were implementing talent development programmes. This gap presents an opportunity for L&D professionals to make a real difference to their organisations. It means proactively focusing on some key questions:

• What does talent management mean?

• Why talent management for your organisation?

• What role should L&D play?

• What role does the talented individual play?

• How do you encourage broad thinking about development?
