According to a new book from Accenture, to win the battle for talent, organisations must transform the management of their workforces from a supporting function to a competitive capability. The Talent Powered Organization: Strategies for Globalization, Talent Management and High Performance is a comprehensive review of the trends that are elevating talent management to the top of the corporate agenda—from recruiting young technicians from the developing world, to retaining valuable experience from an aging generation of employees, to integrating Generation Y into the workforce.
Authored by three Accenture leaders in talent management—Peter Cheese, Robert J. Thomas and Elizabeth Craig—The Talent Powered Organization is among the first books in the field to provide a thorough and holistic perspective on how to respond to these new challenges on a global scale. The book lays out leading practices and offers numerous case studies that illuminate the various dimensions of managing people, from defining talent requirements and their critical links to business strategy, to innovative ways of sourcing, building and deploying talent at the right time and in the right roles, to accounting for and measuring investments in talent.
