Blogger, Andrew Gebavi, a principal
consultant focusing on Talent Management in his recept post " Software is only 20 percent of Talent
Management Success", listed 5 important factors that play an
important role in Talent Management Process. His list prioritized Courageous
Leadership as No.1 factor in the talent management,
followed by Organization Strategy, Business
Process Work, and Change Management
(Deployment Excellence).
He continues, " Courageous
Leadership, whether it is an executive with vision who is not afraid of
"rocking the boat," a middle manager that champions a project, or an
influential front line member of the implementation team, it often
takes courage to execute these projects. Courage to combat the inertia
that exists in many organizations, courage to evangelize change and
progress, courage to influence, cajole, and shepherd reluctant
stakeholders. Governance goes hand in hand with leadership. It's
important to have well-defined decision processes in place during the
strategy and implementation phases of your project. Without one or more
courageous individuals driving these initiatives, they have limited
hope of success."
His statement that deployment excellence
plays an important role in Talent Management probably includes the
deployment of an information system that helps courageous leaders to
identify, develop & utilize talent for the success of their
missions. That is how a talent management suite becomes as important as
courageous leadership. If one goes by this logic, choosing
the right Talent Management Suite is as vital as choosing the right
leader for your organization.
But if the leadership likes to relax just
after installing the talent management software, they need to be
alerted. Software is a tool for governance which cannot guarantee
success similar to top of the line sports accessories which do not
necessarily make the players win a sports event. Talent Management
Software is an excellent technology tool used by the leadership in an
organization to improve HR effectiveness.Without such tools (which
carry only 20 % weightage as per the consultants), it may be hard to
achieve ROI on the balance of 80 % Talent Management initiatives.
