THE BATTLEFOR TALENT

TALENT MANAGEMENT?

Is the “War for Talent” real? Remembering 70’s, 80’s, 90’s

Is “Talent Management” protecting companies? Remembering Enron, Arthur Anderson, Long Term Capital Management

Is “Talent” manageable and controllable at all? The challenge of finding & retaining; speed & change of business vs. long-term career planning; “make vs. buy talent”

THE GLOBAL BATTLE IS ALREADY THERE (1)

“ The empires of the future will be empires of the mind” Winston Churchill, 1943

Is there a common understanding of “Talent”?

A shortage of talent is already causing serious problems and represents the major threat to corporate growth

Structural changes which have increased the value of intangible assets from 20% to 70%

The effect of an ageing & declining population

THE GLOBAL BATTLE IS ALREADY THERE (2)

Loyalty to employers is fading

The workforce is less standardized – different types, countries, cultures, functions, levels of mobility …

Talent recruitment is no longer a “blue-chip” privilege – everybody, even purely local companies, competes

The talent battle has gone global already

Governmental & state competition
