Strategic Talent Management is a process that ensures that your business has the right people in the right jobs at the right time to achieve your expected results. This discipline helps organizations understand their current state, forecast talent gaps, and take the necessary steps to close those gaps.
Don’t buy a Porsche when you only need a Camry, and don’t buy a Camry when you need a minivan. Just as it is easy to get enamored with a high-performance automobile, it is easy to get enamored with a superstar because of his reputation or employment history. The bottom line is that you need to understand your current and future needs first, and then fill those roles with the right people at the right pay levels.
