digitize, create synergies)
• Shift how we execute (processes,
efficiencies, effectiveness)
• Shift how we enable (capability,
talent, performance)
• Shift how we engage (collaborate,
communicate, motivate)

6. The TalentSHIFT for a new world
From: talent attraction, contingent
resourcing and rigid EVP
To: personalised, gamified,
continuous identification of internal
and external talent pipelines
From: transactional, siloed,
controlled, reactive, face-to-face,
prescriptive training
To: agile, digitally enabled,
collaborative and facilitated
learner driven experience
From: BU-led talent reviews, data
and reporting for compliance
To: strategic development of
organizational capability and
potential across business
From: fixed hierarchical structures
and roles
To: blended workforce of
networked teams delivering
organisational capabilities
From: fixed, annual goals with
formal reviews and manager
ratings
To: iterative contracting and
alignment integrating feedback,
recognition and reward from
multiple sources
From: managing culture and EVP
through career conversations
To: self-driven, segmented, digital
employee experience enabling
engagement, development and
readiness
