I agree completely Amy. I am always amazed at the innovative ideas and the though leadership that is out there just waiting to be shared. I look forward to more of our customers joining our dialogue here on the blog so that others can benefit.

@Kathi I do think that the more posts you have the more accurate this kind of thing will be.
@Mark I agree 100%, great balance and coverage across our areas of interest.

Thanks for the inherent challenge in your post. Assessing talent and identifying potential are critical but static steps. Moving an organization (or individual career) forward requires active development with clear results. Reminds me that I’ve got a lot of work to do!

Also, I couldn’t agree more that “no software application by itself will ever find the leaders in your organization”. All of the data we capture in these processes is just that. I’ve yet to see healthy career/organizational choices made based on the data alone. There is always a context and it is through open dialog that the context is flushed out. It is also through dialog with Manager A about Employee B’s career that Manager A can be enlightened and challenged to be a stronger leader (or worst case Manager A’s limitations can be better understood). To me the complex analysis we do as an output of assessment activities is not an end in and of itself; it serves as a backdrop for a rich and thoughtful dialog which can yield significant results.

Regards,
Dave Polacheck

Not sure about my list. I think seeing “OK” in the tag cloud highlights the fact I start too many sentences with “OK” and that can’t be good.

I don’t think ‘Candidate’ is top of my mind. However, it does bring to mind my (unsuccessful) campaign last year of trying to obliterate the word ‘Applicant’ in favor of ‘Candidate’. I guess I just needed to write more blog entries using the word to show ‘proof’ that ‘Candidate’ is the more preferred term.

Wow, I think it’s pretty spot-on at least with myself, you and Amy. What’s also cool is that there is little overlap but the concepts complement each other, making us a nice, diverse team!

Ken -
I too heard great things about the Bersin conference. It looks like the gap between the software applications and talent management needs is closing. I’m optimistic.
