Research Reveals New Ways Organizations are Approaching Talent Management

PMI recently announced the release of the PMI^® Thought Leadership Series – Talent Management: Powering Strategic Initiatives in the PMO

“The new PMI^® Thought Leadership research offers critical insight on how organizations can develop and retain a top-performing workforce to improve project outcomes, increase productivity and maintain competitive advantage.”

PMI developed this collection in partnership with PwC, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and Human Systems International (HSI). It provides executive-level insight into how talent management impacts project management practitioners and the successful implementation rate of strategic initiatives.

Projects and programmes are the core of any organizations strategic initiatives — they are how change happens. Having the talent to implement those initiatives successfully is the critical capability that gives organizations a competitive advantage to navigate through necessary change.

Excellence in managing the talent is a key to unlocking that capability. This proprietary research collection includes three reports, each focusing on a specific aspect of talent management:
