Your Talent Development Atlas
If
you've been directing your organization's talent development effort
during the last few years, you might think you're on a journey without a
map. There are few published resources to guide you in a challenge that
many experts promise will only become more urgent, and necessary, in
the coming years.
Elaine Biech, a
legendary leader in training and development, understands the road ahead
and has partnered with ATD to present a new book that will point the
way―ATD's Foundations of Talent Development: Launching, Leveraging, and Leading Your Organization's TD Effort.
Biech
imbues this comprehensive volume with the energy and passion she has
manifested in a career spanning more than three decades. In her hands,
you have a trusted adviser who provides guidance, leadership, and
direction to your organization. Biech painstakingly guides you over 36
chapters―taking you from developing your talent development strategy,
creating an operating plan, and reinforcing your organization's talent
development mindset, through design and delivery, measurement and
evaluation, and preparing for the future. No matter where you are in
your development, you will be able to pick up this book and select
chapters that describe how you can help your organization. What's more,
Biech has included a new customized model to assist you. Plus, she's
invited dozens of her friends and colleagues to contribute―well-known
authors, ATD subject matter experts, and icons in the field―to present a
cross-section of voices and approaches in the field.
