These changes have potentially important and widespread implications for talent, which is causing many organizations to take a step back and reexamine their talent management strategies and practices. Some of the issues currently being explored include creating a more integrated talent management strategy, better aligning talent management with business strategy, leveraging emerging technologies in talent acquisition and development, and addressing current or anticipated gaps in the talent pipeline.
