Talent Management You see Talent Management, as we define it, broadly illustrated in our logo. It is the cradle to grave employee life-cycle, which begins pre-hire and extends through alignment, development and rewards & recognition. Talent Management is not only a critical discipline. It is also an essential cycle which requires leadership attention and demands rigour, discipline and commitment. Designed correctly, your Talent Management strategy will have built-in language and routine to ensure that your business is always prepared with the skills and experience required to execute.
People Planning & Strategy Human Resources strategies should never be developed in a vacuum. To be effective, they have to be connected to the businesses strategy and support results. We involve business leaders to ensure that talent initiatives are focused on what is relevant and produce results to support the plan. Alignment of thinking is critical to focus resources and prepare your organization for the future.

Organization Effectiveness All companies are good a some things and not so good at others. The Talent Collaborative focuses on identifying those weaker spots that have potential to become barriers to success. If we can interrupt patterns and introduce new structures, behaviors, routines and expectations then success comes easier – and frustration quickly diminishes.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Everybody around here works in silos.
- Nobody talks – the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
- Corporate doesn’t understand the reality of business out in the field. They are out of touch with reality and get in the way of progress.
- Everybody talks, but nobody really listens.
- This is insane. We keep repeating the same mistakes and never seem to learn.
- We seem to meet for the sake of meeting. Nothing ever seems to move forward or get accomplished.
Diversity & Inclusion
Leadership Development We help clients get clear about what future leadership will require. Then we look at where the client is today. Typically this begins with an objective assessment of the existing potential within the organization. An analysis of the gap will inform the path forward, which will include short and long-term actions…and normally will require some changes in priority and behaviors among leaders.
After the path is defined, the real work begins (and the magic happens) with the individual leaders and future leaders.
While executive coaching is only one tool in the box of Leadership Development, we think of it as a sub-practice. The Talent Collaborative has a cadre of experienced executive coaches to partner with your people to support their growth and success.
