| The State of Talent Management – A Call to Arms |
| By Heidi Spirgi, Knowledge Infusion |
| To prevent talent management from becoming just another temporarily hot, but rapidly cooling business trend, and to unleash its promise of transformation, end users and vendors must break with the past and adopt entirely new people, process and technology models. Organizations need to radically rethink how they manage talent and deploy enabling technologies. Vendors need to adopt new development models that reflect the fact that talent management is a business strategy and requires new levels of usability, operational system integration and decision support capabilities. |

| Can the Talent Management Suite Finally Fix Competency Management? |
| By Leighanne Levensaler, Bersin & Associates |
| Competency management, as a foundation process for talent management, is businesscritical. Without the foundation of standard competencies and profiles, the talent management suite cannot realize its full potential in supporting critical talent initiatives. And without the suite, the discipline of competency management, most notably in the area of functional competencies, is arduous, inconsistent and often rendered unsustainable. |

| Unicorns, the Tooth Fairy and the Complete Talent Management Suite |
| By Ed Newman, The Newman Group |
| History has shown that any solution that tries to impose a system that users are not ready to accept will simply not get used. The good news is that we have seen tremendous advances, both in the technology that drives talent management and in the ways companies have put that technology to work. As companies continue to integrate processes, the practicality of a complete talent management solution will become more apparent. |

| The global talent market is changing rapidly and bringing with it profound changes to the cost structure of entire industries.
