These systems focus on the acquisition and development of your organization's personnel. They can manage the tactical aspects of the talent acquisition process while providing a mechanism to track career development and succession planning efforts.
Though the ultimate responsibility for assuring for the longer term succession of the company rests with the executives, a savvy learning organization leader participates in finding the synergies and developing and implementing a strategy that links recruitment, development, retention, and succession. As many organizations are now joining learning functions with talent functions, the linking of talent management to strategy — with the related activities of needing to hire the right people, branding talent development, creating a culture of retention, and integrating succession planning — will inform decisions about whether to hire new talent or upgrade the skills of existing talent. These systems can help with those decisions.
Talent management is part of the Capability Planning dimension in the Align quadrant of the CorpU 12 Dimensions of Learning Excellence.
