Talent Planning and Development
A practical programme in talent planning and development, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to talent planning and development in the context of people processes and workforce priorities. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on talent assessment, development pathways and retention. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of talent assessment and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine development pathways and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to retention.
- Prepare an evidence-based people initiative and follow-up measures for discussion with an HR or learning team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
Who Can Benefit
- HR and people-development professionals: apply talent assessment to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Line managers and workforce planners: apply development pathways to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Learning and organisational-development teams: apply retention to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
