Strategic talent management is the process of aligning business goals and strategies with human capital needs to provide the organization with highly qualified people - not just today, but tomorrow, next year and five years from now. It sounds so simple.

At Caliber, we know that to be effective, the strategic management of an organization's talent requires a comprehensive, targeted and integrated approach. It includes mechanisms to identify requirements - such as workforce planning - and it must be closely integrated with other elements, such as targeted recruitment and retention strategies, performance management and, most importantly, development initiatives.

Our approach to managing and developing an organization's talent begins with supporting the organization to really understand its needs. Then, we work with you to develop the systems, processes and practices that ensure the organization strengthens its talent and builds a culture focused on securing succession.

Our clients greatly value the depth and breadth of our expertise in organizational development when we support them with their talent initiatives. Unlike other firms, we build fully integrated, practical solutions for talent and succession management that truly fit with your organization's culture, capabilities and requirements; not stand alone, off-the-shelf solutions.

Our areas of expertise include the design, implementation and facilitation of:

  • Succession Management Systems and Processes - targeting high potential employees and the development of dynamic candidate pools to support succession requirements; includes facilitation of succession meetings as well as development of candidate identification tools, and the assessment and development of succession candidates.


  • Career Development and Management Programs - processes aimed at defining career progressions and supporting self-managed development towards career goals.

  • Recruitment & Selection Systems - systems and practices to ensure the placement of the right person in the right role including process development, selection criteria, definition for roles, development of interview guides, training of interviewers, preparation of resources and audit of practices.

  • Retention Practices - programs aimed at increasing retention and lowering turnover rates for specific positions or throughout the organization.

  • Organization Structure - definition of roles and reporting relationships that best support the organization to deliver on its priorities as well as to facilitate performance in the role and longer term development of succession candidates.

  • Candidate Assessments & Comparisons - administration of assessments and the objective interpretation of results to support the selection of candidates for key roles.

  • Team / Organizational Analysis and Restructuring - approaches relating to assisting organizations with assessing the 'fit' of current structures and / or incumbents, and then supporting re-design of the structures as well as providing communication, coaching and development services to transition to the new structure effectively.
