The document discusses challenges in talent development and proposes effective solutions. It outlines three key challenges: 1) training requests not aligning with actual needs, 2) employees not seeing relevance of training to their work, and 3) limited budgets restricting training. Two case studies are presented showing examples of effective talent development: 1) using skills mapping and targeted training, and 2) focusing on behavioral skills through individual development plans. The document concludes by outlining a more effective approach, including understanding true requirements, involving employees, designing purposeful development plans, making practices required, and following up on results.
