Talent Management and the Next Training Revolution
Abstract
The Army Science Board examined how the Army could use Talent Management (TM) principles, technologies, and best practices to improve its recruitment, training, retention, and promotion processes. The study was limited in scope to Active Duty Officers with the intent to identify practices that could scale Army wide if adopted. The study team made several findings regarding the division of the Army's current personnel management system, opportunities to leverage current technology in training, and opportunities to employ data analytics across the Army's TM enterprise. A specific finding addressed the need for the Army to grow its strategic bench, that is, to retain and promote young officers demonstrating talents beyond operational acumen and showing promise in strategic matters. Based on these findings, the study team recommended the Army work toward developing an Integrated Talent Management Enterprise (ITME) to consolidate its TM efforts. The ITME would include a TM Proving Ground to test the latest, best practices for applicability to the Army, as well as a TM Systems Integration Laboratory to test and employ the best TM technologies.
