Talent, Leadership and Learning
CRF Learning: Integrated Talent Management – April
This programme is taking place online. The cost of the programme is £1,650 (+VAT) for CRF members and £3,300 (+VAT) for non-members.
Talent continues to be vital to current and future business performance. Yet research and experience consistently suggest that our talent management approaches are not delivering the business outcomes we want, in the timescales we need, and at a cost we can afford.
Three principles are fundamental to making talent management work:
- Talent needs must be firmly rooted in the context of the business strategy and operating environment.
- Solutions should be integrated, with different elements prioritised and aligned around talent needs.
- Data should be used to develop and apply insights and to evaluate the effectiveness of talent management approaches
This programme builds on these principles, pulling them into an Integrated Talent Management Framework.

The Programme in Detail
DAY 1 – 3
You will be introduced to the Integrated Talent Management Framework and guided through a series of stages.
- An introduction to ‘Integrated Talent Management’ thinking.
- Part 1: Talent Context and Need – explore how integrated talent management thinking is anchored in business need and informed by external context. Understand how these create implications for people capability and talent segmentation. Identify talent dependencies for effective strategy execution early on. And explore how the environment we create around our talent approaches helps or hinders their effectiveness.
- Part 2: Talent Planning – understand talent capability gaps. Identify talent strategy priorities and develop segmented talent propositions and approaches to address them.
- Part 3: Talent Activity – create and implement integrated talent activity across the employee life cycle and people process areas aligned to strategic talent priorities.
- How do we talk about talent?
- Critical talent and talent reviews
- How do we assess talent?
- How do we develop talent?
- How do we retain talent?
- Action Planning – draw together and distil critical insights collected over the three mornings. Evaluate against your current talent strategy and prioritise actions to work on before the follow-on day.
Between Sessions
You will be encouraged to share your insights with HR colleagues and business stakeholders when you return to your organisation. You will have the opportunity to develop conversations and identify any potential changes in talent management approaches based upon your learnings.
DAY 4 (follow-on session)
After having the chance to experiment with some of the insights you have learned from days 1 to 3, we regroup to share progress and learnings with one another and to receive any further input needed.
