Chapter 4 of The Talent Powered Organization turns the reader’s attention to talent development and talent deployment as key organizational capabilities of talent-powered organizations that support talent multiplication and competitiveness.
Accenture High Performance Business research shows that few companies are achieving high performance in learning and skills development of their workforces. Indeed, the nature of skills required by modern business is changing, and with it the approaches to training and learning. The authors explain how companies focused on high-performance learning develop their talent, and examine seven key principles for promoting faster and better learning within the organization. These principles are based on several studies, in particular a major survey of learning executives called The Rise of the High-Performance Learning Organization.
Deployment is about more than simply getting the job done. It is a strategic capability for developing talent to increase organizational capabilities and expanding strategic opportunities. Talent-powered organizations have honed their abilities in effectively deploying talent in a way that benefits both the organization and employees. Several techniques for deploying talent are covered, with reference to real-life examples and best practices.
