Every good business has a strategy that demands results.  What stands between success and failure is in the hands of its people.  Talent optimization is a discipline that provides business leaders with a framework and tools to design culture, roles, and teams that maximize business results.

Diagnose–  The insights uncovered by diagnosing the root cause of an organization’s people problems, help to optimize how they design their people strategy, hire purposefully and inspire effectively to drive an engaged workforce that produces results.

Design–  Businesses can’t just put a random assortment of people together on a team and hope for the best.  To achieve the best outcome, an organization must leverage people data to deliberately design its approach to leadership, culture, and team dynamics.

Hire–  The ability to hire well sets the stage for future organizational success.  Defining the roles an organization needs and matching the right person to the requirements boosts the opportunity for success.

Inspire–  When leaders understand their employees, and employees understand each other, they are equipped to minimize conflict, reduce organizational toxicity, and communicate more effectively, letting distractions get out of the way of results.

Talent optimization is driven by people data. When business leaders measure people data and apply the resulting insights, they’re empowered to make objective decisions rather than subjective ones. There are a variety of tools and techniques to collect and measure people data for talent optimization.

While it’s true that people are complex, this is no excuse to just accept the status quo. With the right people data in hand, talent optimization reveals that the way people behave and interact in organizations is in fact predictable given the business context. What matters most is to take an objective, systematic approach to understanding people in organizations and using the resulting insights to make improvements to the way they work.
