Comments on: Three To See - w/c 25-Jan-10 http://www.stepstonesolutions.com/Blogs/HCM/three-to-see-wc-25-jan-10 ...the wisdom of the talent crowd Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:32:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Tim Holland (Stepstone) http://www.stepstonesolutions.com/Blogs/HCM/three-to-see-wc-25-jan-10#comment-861 Tim Holland (Stepstone) Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:59:21 +0000 http://www.stepstonesolutions.com/Blogs/HCM/?p=117#comment-861 The post on Critical Performance Issues is an interesting one and it is no surprise to see strategy execution and innovation featuring highly here and they are inextricably linked. My experience suggests that there is plenty of innovative thinking in the Talent Management environment but often a lack of effectiveness in getting much further than the ideas stage. To a large extent I believe this can be attributed to the absence of Executive sponsorship and representation of the Talent agenda at the highest level within organisations. This is changing and it seems the key message to get across is it's not about making HR more effective, it's about building organisational efficiency and achieving business results. If this can be demonstrated to decision makers then innovation should thrive.
