The Chemistry of Talent (New Ways to Think About People and Work) | Talent

As the issue of talent tops the C-suite agenda, Deloitte is poised to lead in the talent services market with a unique point of view: The Chemistry of Talent (New ways to think about people and work). This is the 10th in a series of Straight Talk books dedicated to helping companies improve performance. It provides an integrated look at today’s compounding talent issues and highlights several innovative solutions that can help an organization build and execute a winning talent strategy.

Building on a chemistry theme, the “Periodic Table of Talent” (the Table) was created to supplement Straight Talk Book #10. In the Table, Talent “elements” are organized within the categories of strategy and metrics, solutions, catalysts and talent infrastructure. It’s likely that no two businesses will have identical formulas for solving their talent issues therefore, understanding how the right talent elements combine to form the winning combination for an organization begins with creating a business-focused, fact-based, analytics-driven strategy.
