Can competitive edge be sustained without effective Talent Management?
Intriguing as it may sound; thought to bring this question forward for discussion, for it may after all seem as difficult to answer as it may to distance from. Many would agree that most of the high-performing organizations have engaged themselves with strategic talent planning and management over a period of time during the course of their journey, to reach where they today are.
The question, however, is, whether an organization can achieve, and more importantly, sustain, a high-growth trajectory and competitive edge without a coherent talent management strategy? Unless a whole-hearted ‘yes’ is an answer to this question (which, I think, is less likely), there ought to be a correlation (even quantifiable, within the company’s ecosystem) between talent management and sustainable growth..
What do you think?
