The 3rd Annual State of Talent Management survey starts January 4!
The only talent management survey that's all about you starts January 4! The NTMN State of Talent Management survey explores the field of talent management -- what you do, how you're structured, even how much you're paid! In 2010 we're pleased to welcome back Development Dimensions International (DDI) as our research sponsor. Also joining us as a media sponsor is Business Intelligence.
Watch your e-mail for your invitation to complete the survey.
The First Ever Talent Innovation Awards!
The NTMN's 1st Annual Talent Innovation Awards will be launched at the Human Capital Institute's 2010 Conference in March. These awards will showcase how talent management leaders are advancing their business through innovative talent management solutions.
Can Management Research Be Believed?
Recent research may shake your faith in management gurus who claim that specific business practices cause high performance. In A Random Search for Excellence, this month's feature article on the NTMN research page, Deloitte researchers report that companies' sustained high performance may simply be luck.
Their research shows that luck alone can account for above average performance for many years. They conclude that many of the best selling management books of recent years aren't really identifying high performing companies but instead are studying firms"with performance profiles that are statistically indistinguishable from fortunate random walks."
The NTMN doubled in size in 2009. We added City Groups. We issued our 2nd State of Talent Management report. We helped our talent management colleagues get new jobs. We kept you informed about the latest talent research. If we can do that in a recession, just think how great 2010 will be!
Thank you for making the New Talent Management Network the world's largest network of talent management professionals.
Best wishes for a successful and talent-filled 2010!
