Why is talent management important?

“Talent is the leading indicator of whether a business is up or down, a success or a failure”

Bill Conaty – Former Senior VP of HR for GE

“About 80 percent of education spending is devoted to personnel, yet the capacity of schools and districts to recruit, develop, and

retain top talent is stunningly low compared with other knowledge sectors.”

Rachel E. Curtis - Teaching Talent
