Talent Management


Skills Evolution are experts in helping organisations formulate and deliver talent management strategies that fit with their values and culture.
Research into the strategies deployed in leading companies, such as Virgin Atlantic, Rolls Royce and LogicaCMG, led to the publication of a book of practical advice, tools and guidance.

The Book

"This is a wonderfully clear and helpful book about a topic which is both crucial and difficult for HR professionals and line managers to handle. Through case studes, it illustrates both choices at the strategic level and a range of practical tools. Jane strikes a fine balance in considering career issues from both an individual and an organisational perspectice, which is rare indeed" Dr Wendy Hirsh, Career Development Researcher and Consultant.
Core contents of the book include:

  • Building the business case for talent strategies
  • Developing career self-reliance amongst your talent
  • Developing key roles - mentors, coaches, line managers
  • Designing assessment and development centres
  • Moving from replacement succession planning to pool-based succession
  • Aligning the strategy to other core HR and business processes
  • Integrating and evaluating your strategy

Talent Management Programmes

Talent programmes can take a variety of forms, from involvement in setting up a strategy through to designing and running talent centres. At Skills Evolution we believe that talent strategy should be driven in the context of the whole organisation, aligning clearly with the Resourcing, and Career strategies throughout the company.

We offer advice and guidance on the whole talent arena, from building the initial business case for change projects, such as mentoring schemes or pool-based succession systems, through to designing and delivering bespoke programmes for identifying and developing pools of high potential employees.

Identifying and growing high potential can often be a challenge for organisations, and we can help to identify criteria for success and provide solutions tailored to the culture of your company.

In partnership with Roffey Park Institute, Skills Evolution have been instrumental in designing and delivering talent programmes for the Legal Services Commission, Virgin Atlantic, Cancer Research UK, and DWF Solicitors.
