What measures do you use to spot talent and assess employee performance? How do you decide who gets promoted? Are these methods fair and inclusive?
Talent management is a cornerstone of modern organizational strategy but it has consistently fallen short in achieving meaningful diversity. Designing for Diversity challenges the deeply rooted assumptions that have shaped traditional talent management systems and critiques the philosophies that often reinforce the status quo. This book then offers actionable strategies to create systems and processes that genuinely identify and nurture individuals with leadership potential.
While many DEI efforts aim to signal progress, they can inadvertently sustain inertia. This book empowers organizations to move beyond surface-level solutions and implement practices that drive real, measurable change. It explores each element of talent management from performance management systems and talent identification methods, through to talent development and promotion processes. This book also examines the limitations of target setting and the benefits of both formal and informal mentoring. The results is a new paradigm for identifying leaders, fostering diversity, and enhancing competition for senior roles. Whether you're a business leader, HR professional or advocate for equity in the workplace, Designing for Diversity is your essential guide to creating a future where talent management and diversity thrive together.
