Talent Mapping
Talent mapping is an economical and discreet way to identify diverse, high-potential talent both internally and externally and can also provide broader market insight and competitor analysis. It has become an increasingly important part of strategic planning, providing organizations with the intelligence required to enter new markets, identify skills gaps, and recruit outstanding executives.
Our clients are using talent mapping in a variety of ways, including
- Diversity talent identification – to identify leadership talent from various diverse communities and who have self-identified as part of our process.
- Internal talent mapping– to assess and identify high-potential talent within the organization and to create development and retention plans.
- Succession planning– to compare internal and external candidates within a given market or function, to proactively build a pipeline for replacements for key roles in the future, and to evaluate the organization's value proposition for attracting the future talent needed to succeed.
- Ongoing board composition planning– to create an evergreen roster of qualified and diverse directors, reduce board gaps, and ensure that institutional knowledge does not get lost during turnover.
- Growth planning and acquisition talent assessment– to provide insight into strategic growth opportunities and help ensure that the right leaders are in place to execute aggressive growth plans.
- Competitor mapping– to gain invaluable insight into competitors' talent and growth opportunities.
With over 160 dedicated researchers, our global team works closely with industry leaders and local consultants to develop comprehensive and compelling talent mapping reports. It is an economical way for organizations to evaluate talent and opportunities, without committing to a more comprehensive executive search process.
