If we cannot measure it, we cannot manage it!

A key deliverable of the Talent Management Program is the need to translate the overall organizational talent effort into a coherent Scorecard that clearly communicates priorities and deliverables in the form of talent metrics at both strategic (lagging) and operational (leading) levels. At iTMA we assist organizations translate their talent efforts and programs into a KPI framework for purposes of tracking, reporting and continuous alignment. In this regard, we have developed a very robust talent measurement framework in the form of the Talent Dashboard (T-DASHBORD), which is available for purchase at very nominal investment for organizations that want to deploy it but have not attended any of our signature certification programmes.  The T-DASHBORD aligns your talent metrics and analytics framework to 4 areas that are key to the success of any talent management program globally. These areas are;

• Brand Metrics and Analytics – key metrics and analytics that measure and report on the performance of the employer brand and value proposition
• Pipeline Metrics and Analytics – key metrics and analytics that measure and report on the health of your organization’s talent pipeline
• Bench Metrics and Analytics – key metrics and analytics that measure and report on the your current talent and HiPO bench strength
• Relativities – key metrics and analytics that measure and report on the overall balance inherent in your key talent pools

However, we do not simply deploy the T-DASHBORD without understanding the maturity level of your talent management program. We acknowledge you’re your key talent issues and hence priorities largely depend on your organization’s strategic direction, business maturity level, and the obtaining situation in the competitive talent market. In this regard, we utilize further tools such as the Talent Management Maturity Model (T-MMM) to formulate a Talent Dashboard that tracks issues most pertinent to your organization at that particular point. We also provide guidance on how you can integrate your T-DASHBOARD with the overall human capital transformation intent, as well as talent policies in your organization. Furthermore, we acknowledge that a talent metrics and analytics framework must be supported by a robust data management strategy. Our talent analytics specialists assist you in developing a data-mining ecosystem that helps you fully achieve your analytical intent and make better use of all the talent data that is generation by the organization.
