The term "talent management" reflects a fairly recent popularization of existing management processes.
But since 1961, what we now call "talent management" has been foundational to SIMA® International. Throughout the years, we've helped hundreds of corporate leaders and managers fulfill their most important and strategic responsibility—to identify and develop the talents of those who make the company work.
The most effective talent management occurs when there is "fit" between the core strengths and motivations of an individual and the position s/he stewards. That's why SIMA® is so valuable to the process. Its power to pinpoint an individual's unique talent provides the critical insight managers need for evaluating "fit" and optimizing the person's best use.
And once everyone understands an employee's true "sweet spot," managing and developing that talent becomes a significant basis for employee engagement. The company now has a vested interest in helping the person cultivate a career-long pursuit of personal and professional development.
