The Talent-Fueled Enterprise With Mike Ohata

The Learning & Development Podcast

The Talent Fueled Enterprise seeks to provide insight into key disruptors driving an imperative for talent in organizations. The book also provides a fresh perspective on how leaders should consider navigating the evolving landscape of talent management. It challenges the conventional framework for talent management, urging leaders to reimagine how they perceive, nurture, and leverage the people within their organizations. In this episode, we unpack what this means for organisations, their Talent teams and the workforce.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A talent-fuelled enterprise provides a skills deal that works for employees as well as the organization.

• Talented employees are no longer willing to only serve the business they want to develop skills that also progress their careers.

• If you don´t give people the chance to learn they will go elsewhere.

• A talent-fuelled enterprise values and cultivates the entire organization.

• Identify what makes performance sustainable, adaptable and scalable.

• Hire for agility, people who learn and adapt.

• Ongoing transformation has to be part of a company´s DNA.

• L&D has to start setting the agenda.

• Developing the workforce of tomorrow is an essential investment.

• L&D needs to develop itself to be able to deliver a talent-fuelled workforce. Mike explains how in the episode.
