Strategic Talent Management (STM) is a systematic and comprehensive approach to understanding and managing organizational talent as a key driver of business outcomes.

• We begin by defining the leadership capabilities necessary to execute your strategy and win in your marketplace. To support this, we interview stakeholders identified by the CEO or Board to elicit their thinking on which requirements are most critical to the success of the business. We then summarize the findings, provide our own commentary and analysis and create a provisional Leadership Model which we vet with the Senior Team.
• Once the model is refined and “owned,” it becomes an organizing framework for integrated talent management—from recruitment to succession planning. Job candidates can be assessed to the model, incumbents measured against it, emerging executives coached to it and teams aligned with it. When everyone is focused around a clear set of leadership expectations and behaviors, a transformation begins to occur in the culture that quickly impacts organizational performance.
