The Challenges of Enabling a Talent Management Strategy with Technology
b'The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, November 19, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how global megatrends impact engagement strategy, and this week we\\u2019re going to talk about the challenges of enabling a talent management strategy with technology. Let\\u2019s start with ERP solutions, the backbones of many global companies. Panoramic Consulting conducted a survey in 2013 for the outcomes of companies that have implemented an ERP solution. Shockingly, 53% of the respondents reported being over budget and\\xa061% said that the time to implement was longer than they planned for. So, how can companies alleviate these problems when it comes to their talent management strategy and technology implementations? It all starts with an enterprise\\u2019s talent management programs and processes; if the right ones aren\\u2019t in place, no amount of software automation can help improve and drive business outcomes. What\\u2019s clear is that any successful talent management project must start with a solid plan based on an accurate assessment of current programs and processes, and a technology solution that\\u2019s highly configurable and will help drive talent decisions and business outcomes.\\xa0 Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M.
