Trade Review"
Toby Culshaw wrote an insightful book to help you execute your talent strategy. What I like most about
Talent Intelligence is how actionable it is.
Toby shares years of his learnings and experience, and he explains in detail how you can apply it yourself through practical steps." * Anita Lettink, Keynote speaker and adviser on the future of work, partner at Strategic Management Centre and founder of HRTechRadar *
"This is the first comprehensive discussion on Talent Intelligence I have seen. This is a topic much discussed, but little understood.
Toby has finally given us a clear definition and a practical way to implement this powerful process." * Kevin Wheeler, Founder, The Future of Talent Institute *
"Wow, from the maestro of TI,
Toby himself. I was honoured when asked to read the book and comment and it is jam-packed with practical advice and real examples of talent intelligence in all its forms. A must read for business leaders and HR leaders alike who want to drive smarter business decisions. To quote from the book "the shifting mindset of operational to strategic is critical". Loved all of it - I will be buying the book for every member of our team for sure." * Alison Ettridge, Founder, Stratigens *
"It's all about the data and the insights we can draw from it. I've felt this for a long time and this book and the work
Toby has done confirms to me that this is a game changer! In an ever changing and highly competitive world the notion and discipline of talent intelligence is, for me, an essential part of an integrated talent strategy not only to compete but to win." * Denise Haylor, Former CHRO Royal Philips, Flextronics, Managing Director & Partner Boston Consulting Group *
"
Toby is a recognized & trusted expert in talent intelligence. Over the years he's proven to be one of the key leaders in this developing field. It's exciting to see how TI is developing and becoming more recognized as a valuable source of meaningful and actionable insights business leaders can leverage. In this text he brings together these experiences and a wide range of sources, it's a thorough essay on TI space and key reading for anyone interested in developing this knowledge." * Giles Harden, SVP People at INFARM *
"
Toby Culshaw and his insight on the function of Talent Intelligence as described in this text takes on and excels at creating a lexicon and foundational set of practices in the young and ever-growing space of Talent Intelligence. Creating a process is plenty hard, as is scoping a business case for change - both of which are in this text - yet defining a language for others to use in years to come is even harder. I am looking forward to applying many of these principles and labels to the products and services I use for the public and private sector companies we serve. Other leaders in recruiting, workforce planning, and analytics should review this lexicon and render into their own work so we can advance this ecosystem together as colleagues." * Andrew Gadonmski, Managing Director, Aspen Analytics *
"The most inclusive and comprehensive work on Talent Intelligence I've seen to date.
Toby's book captures the art and science of this continually evolving craft and emerging technology platforms complete with concrete and impactful examples. A must read for all leaders who see their competitive advantage coming from deeply understanding and acting on distilled insights from the internal and external talent landscape." * Cortney Erin, Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition Microsoft *
"Timely and comprehensive examination of an often under-explored but critical area of talent strategy.
Toby manages to come up with with something for everyone - from early to late adopters - as well as write a bit of a love letter to the subject." * Teresa Wykes, Global Head of Talent Intelligence, SAP *
