From compliance to commitment

bringing talent management to life

In 2007 we published an in-depth investigation into talent management, researching 58 leading organisations.
We wanted to understand how to transform talent management from an exercise in compliance into one of true commitment, where managers have a genuine desire to build sustainable capability in their organisations.
From Compliance to Commitment: bringing talent management processes to life - is a seminal report, based on our research and extensive experience. It contains over 90 pages of case studies, comment and analysis.

The Golden Few

lessons in talent management from the worlds of entertainment, sport, arts and academia

We call organisations who work exclusively with people who have ‘it’ enterprise organisations. They deal daily in the currency of gifts and understand what it means to be part of an elite group, and that for organisations to nurture those gifts, individual needs and dreams have to be taken into account. The Golden Few was published in 2008 following research into eight unique enterprise organisations, including Manchester City Football Academy and Storm Model Agency. This report sheds new light on the subject of identifying and nurturing the truly gifted in their field.
