The Talent Dilemma
The business environment has never been so volatile or susceptible to change, and finding the right Talent to ensure your organization continues to adapt is one of today’s ever increasing dilemmas.
Organizations need people with adaptability, strategic capability, disruptive thinking and social leadership known as Adaptive Expertise as opposed to Routine Expertise that is the ability to manage business as usual, functional capability. It is the Adaptive Expertise that is necessary for developing Talent and for your business to grow in a corporate world where the rules can change almost daily.
However, the challenge is to successfully identify individuals who actually have ‘High Potential’, as ‘High Performers today’ may not necessarily have ‘High Potential tomorrow’.
The qualities required by executives to be ‘High Potentials’ is underpinned by “Fluid Intelligence”; defined as “the ability to think and reason abstractly and solve problems, particularly new/novel problems” in the Cattell-Horn-Carroll Theory 1985 (CHC Theory) of human cognitive abilities.
However, the benchmark currently used for Talent Identification and Development is usually based on “Crystallized Intelligence”; defined as “the breadth and depth of a person’s acquired knowledge over a lifetime, the ability to reason using previously learned experiences and procedures”. (CHC Theory).
Consequently, developing and executing the right Talent Management Strategy to ensure your organization continues to adapt is primarily dependent on accurately and objectively identifying Talent with ‘High Potential’ as well as ‘High Performance’. In addition, the ever accelerating VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) phenomenon means the selection of Talent with the openness to adapt and the cognitive agility to change with the speed of change is one of today’s biggest dilemmas.
enigmaFIT provides a unique Talent Management Consultancy, plus a cross-section of Talent Identification and Development Programs designed to rapidly increase High Potentials’ and Senior Executives’ Adaptive Expertise in order to thrive in a VUCA world.
