Assessing our Talent Gaps
• Do we know what our future organisation looks like?
• What is the criteria for potential in a world of such high change?
• Are we assessing for potential in a way that is fast, friendly, fun (mobile,
gamified) AND credible?
• Which attributes or skills will enable our success regardless of the
environment or role?
• Are the traditional levels of work, performance standards, roles and jobs
architecture still relevant for us?
• Is our structure an enabler of consistency and equity or a constraint to
flexibility and unique skills and talent?
• Are we attracting the talent of the contractors in the gig economy?
• Are we looking broader and deeper to find the talent gems that have
been overlooked before through poor education or opportunity but that
have the potential to shine?

22. 22
Assessing our Leadership Development Gaps
• Are we accelerating leadership development for succession, impact,
decisions and results?
• Are we manage the transformation diversity and inclusion dynamic?
• Are we building foundational capabilities i.e. personal mastery,
emotional resilience, curiosity, agility, collaboration?
• Are we building future skills?
• Are we building a continuous self driven learning culture?
• Are we integrating learning into work for immediate performance and
results?
• Are we building our future pipelines of critical skills?
