Product Description
Review
Her book has two major strengths. First, when Janice Caplan discusses a topic she has is likely to have a good understanding and to display sound judgement. Secondly, she writes clearly and structures her material well. This makes for a good read and the checklists and guidance she offers are very practical. Overall this makes it a very good buy for the learning and development professional who is five years or further into their career. Anyone less experienced could struggle with the sheer weight of information and the challenge that it represents.
Training Journal, February 2011
(Training Journal )Here obviously speaks a person with oodles of years of operating in the commercial world and Caplan puts this experience (of which she has plenty ending up as VP of Talent Development for our mother ship, the revered CIPD) to extremely good use by making the text easy to follow and which can be applied practically without too much palaver rather than having to wade through the treacle that is supposed to pass for theory offered up by various other writers on the same subject.
HRNetwork, February 2011
(HRNetwork )Book Description

Format:Hardcover
Amongst the wealth of literature on talent management, this book stands out by proposing that talent management applies to everyone in an organisation. It's a very practical guide not only to 'how' talent management integrates with other aspects of HRM but 'why' this is so vital to future organisational success. An essential read for all HR practitioners, CEOs and business leaders.

For several reasons I am very grateful to Janice for writing this book. It has saved me a considerable amount of time which I would have had to spend researching the subject; it has ensured I am very well informed on what must be the most critical factor impacting on an organisation's success; it is rich with case studies, models, learning points; bullet point summaries and references for further reading.
Above all it brings together all of the critical factors which make for high performing organisations into a well presented and informed approach which should appeal to: top team members; H.R. professionals, consultants and students.I particularly like the way Janice links "employee engagement to talent management" something I have been wrestling with for quite a while.

The Value of Talent: Promoting Talent Management Across the Organization
Format:Hardcover
This book takes a refreshing look at Talent Management as a discipline. Early on it dispels the notion of "best people" introducing an inclusive description of talent that is future focused. There are some thought provoking and real questions raised in the opening paragraphs challenging widely held assumptions on business strategy, talent and change.
It addresses best practices and case studies which are at the vanguard of this new definition of talent management and that strongly support the case for looking at talent though a humanistic rather than a process orientated lens. Highly recommend for leaders who want to develop their organisations and the role they play.
