Do you have enough of the right people with the right skills to execute your strategy? If you’re not sure – that’s talent risk. Assessing that risk with hard data and mitigating it with a structured process for training and knowledge transfer is what we call talent risk management.
Without the right tools, it’s hard to understand the value of technical staff until they’re gone – taking critical skills and knowledge with them. And with 4% unemployment, aging workforces, increasingly mobile employees, and a war for technical talent, the risks are greater than ever.
Understanding what your people actually DO, identifying areas of risk, and transferring knowledge to other team members will ensure that vital expertise stays in-house, even if your experts don’t. Using our proven, data-driven approach, you can:

A keen understanding of your pool of talent will help you hang on to value creators on your team and expedite the transition time so everyone is productive immediately. Using our rich talent data and training tools you can:
