Global talent management in an age of disruption

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: What principles should guide talent management in global organizations in our age of disruptive change? We briefly outline five trends affecting talent management, leading us then to present five guiding principles at the heart of a conceptual wheel: Profit with purpose at the core; building capabilities; navigating dualistic tensions; nurturing alignment and differentiation; and ensuring shared responsibility. The conclusion summarizes the implications: In this volatile age, global talent management must evolve towards purpose driven and capability focused people management, with an emphasis on skills rather than jobs.
