Talent Management in One Page: Reducing Complexity, Adding Value

A Radical Approach to Growing High-Quality Talent - Fast

You know that winning in today's marketplace requires top-quality talent. You also know what it takes to build that talent, and you spend significant financial and human resources to make it happen. Yet, somehow, your company's beautifully designed and well-benchmarked processes don't translate into the bottom-line talent depth you need. Why?

Talent management experts Marc Effron and Miriam Ort argue that companies unwittingly add layers of complexity to their talent-building models, without evaluating whether those components add any value to the overall process. Consequently, simple activities like setting employee performance goals become multipage, headache-inducing time wasters that turn managers off and fail to improve results.

Effron and Ort introduce a simple, powerful, scientifically proven approach to increase your ability to develop better leaders faster: One Page Talent Management (OPTM). Using the straightforward, easy-to-follow process described in this book, you will eliminate frustrating complexity, focus only on those components that add real value, and build transparency and accountability into every practice. Based on extensive research and experience in companies such as Avon Products, Bank of America, and Philips, One Page Talent Management shows you how to:

• Quickly identify high-potential talent without complex assessments
• Increase the number of "ready now" successors for key roles
• Generate 360-degree feedback that accelerates change in the most critical behaviours
• Significantly reduce the time required for managers to implement talent-building processes

By doing away with complexity and bureaucracy, you can develop the high-quality talent you need, right now. The key is to adopt a radical approach that simplifies your talent management processes without compromising their effectiveness.

Effron and Ort's One Page Talent Management method is a game-changer. It challenges the traditional, overly complex talent management practices that have become the norm in many organizations. Instead, it offers a streamlined, science-based approach that focuses on the essential elements needed to build a strong pipeline of high-performing leaders.

The beauty of OPTM lies in its simplicity. By reducing talent management to a single page, the authors demonstrate how organizations can eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and focus on the activities that truly drive results. This includes quickly identifying high-potential talent, accelerating the development of critical behaviours, and significantly reducing the time required for managers to implement talent-building processes.

One Page Talent Management is not just a book - it's a call to action for organizations that are serious about developing the talent they need to thrive in today's competitive landscape. By embracing Effron and Ort's radical approach, you can break free from the constraints of traditional talent management and unlock the full potential of your people.

Whether you're a C-suite executive, a human resources professional, or a line manager, One Page Talent Management provides a practical, evidence-based roadmap for transforming your talent-building practices. By simplifying complexity and focusing on what matters most, you can build a sustainable competitive advantage through the development of high-quality, high-performing talent.
