The differences

Old way• Short half life • Most of the effort in the

initial selection• Minimal measures with

organisational objectives

• Subject to social loafing

New way• It’s tough to get in and

stay in• It’s worth the effort – it

fits with my needs and helps me succeed

• It makes a step change to organisational capability and retention

It’s tough to get in and stay in

• Makes it more attractive for those who want to succeed

• The threat of losing the privilege makes people invest more effort

• It reduces social loafing

• It makes it easier for those not involved

• Very visible message to everyone that performance is what matters here

What about those not included?

• Performance management for the ‘vital many’

• Labelling• 67% of CIPD respondents agreed using the

term ‘talent’ is demotivating.• Think about alternatives: high flyers; Aspire?

• Transparent on how to get in and out

• Understood that some will drop off – not right for everyone

It’s worth it for me

Increasing the value of the programme

Recognition• I’m special (exclusivity/ongoing assessment)• Recognised outside my company

Opportunities to grow fast• Stretch• Choice – in control of what I am doing• Regular flow of interesting work• Job promotion/new career opportunities

Investment in me• Access to senior people• Coaching, development, etc – the skills to become great• Very different kind of experience, eg, social projects• Reward – different structure for top talent?
