Synopsis

Radical Advice for Reinventing Talent—and HR

Typical talent-planning and HR processes are designed for predictable environments, traditional ways of getting work done, and organizations where "lines and boxes" still define how people are managed. As work and organizations have become more fluid—and business strategy is no longer about planning years ahead but about sensing and seizing new opportunities and adapting to a constantly changing environment—companies must deploy talent in new ways to remain competitive.

Turning conventional views on their heads, talent and leadership experts Ram Charan, Dominic Barton, and Dennis Carey provide leaders with a new and different playbook for acquiring, managing, and deploying talent—for today's agile, digital, analytical, technologically driven strategic environment—and for creating the HR function that business needs. Filled with examples of forward-thinking companies that have adopted radical new approaches to talent (such as ADP, Amgen, BlackRock, Blackstone, Haier, ING, Marsh, Tata Communications, Telenor, and Volvo), as well as the juggernauts and the startups of Silicon Valley, this book shows leaders how to bring the rigor that they apply to financial capital to their human capital—elevating HR to the same level as finance in their organizations.

This book is a lot of words and very little content. Some good thoughts occurr sporadically- could have been condensed in less than 100 pages. Chapter 1 & 6 are quite useful- rest repetitive.......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on July 02, 2023

I was in my MBA program when my CEO gave me this book to read, so it’s taken me a solid year of picking it up and putting it down… between classes and life. However, I made a lot of notes in the book to go back and re-examine or question my company’s and my department’s current processes and ways. I......more

I enjoyed the HBR article this book was based on. Ram Charan’s research and informative use cases were very high level and did not peer too deep.You can also tell the McKinsey influence based on the number of organizational cases that begin with “Based on a McKinsey survey”. Not very memorable but w......more
