Status quo talent strategies no longer work for high performing organizations. Old models no longer work. It does not anymore meet thepic-1-global-talent-innovation-225x300.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x needs of the global workforce.

HR Strategies are out of step with the way work is conducted. Jobs that are structured around a 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday workweek is considered inconvenient and counterproductive. Training focuses narrowly on skill building not on aligning talent capabilities with strategic objectives. Career development does not reflect the needs to redefine advancement opportunities in the context of flatter, more flexible organizations. And Leadership Development is not arming organizations anymore with decisive, experience, globally minded visionaries that are sorely needed.

In transitioning from the 20th century to the 21st century, a talent model paradigm shift has evolved. Talent Models now need to be rethink to attract, engage, develop, and retain the right talent. Global Talent Innovation must be prioritized. Yet, many HR departments lack the capability and organizational clout to orchestrate the changes required. There is now a call for Chief Executive to rise above its limitations to be able to lead the change towards Global Talent Innovation.
