Professor Binna Kandola OBE released the first in an exclusive three part series for Personnel Today, looking at how Talent Management systems perpetuate the status quo.
In the first article, he comments:
“We like to believe that talent management is fair and inclusive – that it’s about finding the best person for the job, wherever they may be. But in reality, many talent frameworks are built on a narrower premise: that only a select few have potential worth investing in. In fact, some of the most widely used talent models are explicitly exclusive – designed to identify and elevate high performers from within an already limited field.
This raises a fundamental question: who was ever considered to be talent in the first place?”
