Developing Talent

Kudos to my good friend Kevin Wheeler. If you don't know Kevin, he's the professorial type who has been a leader in our space for a while. He writes, he teaches - preaches and he does. I'm envious of the guy because he speaks in Italy, Australia and New Zealand every year....he gets it done.

More importantly he has something to say. His main theme for the past few years has been On developing Talent. He uses his firm Global Learning Resources as his platform and teaches at San Fransisco State. And in the past month Kevin and colleague Eileen Clegg have released the proverbial workbook on creating your own Corporate University. "The Corporate University Workbook - Launching the 21st Century Learning Organization" is a comprehensive system on creating your on function to develop talent.

Here's the description from his website...

The Corporate University Workbook gives you everything you need to create an effective, systematic learning infrastructure within your organization. As a result, you will develop employees who are capable of adapting to rapid changes and who deliver the results your business needs! This resource offers a dynamic combination of practical methodology, best practices, and step-by-step guidance. The Workbook, along with the CD-ROM, are filled with the tools, templates, and activities you need to develop and implement a corporate university.

Take a look and pass along. When we consider that quality talent is tougher to find (let Capelli and Wheeler argue this one...bottom line: competition has increased) and that our companies require the right talent at the right time -successful companies are already or will soon develop there own.
