    About

    Changing the dialogue on talent today to drive transformational talent for tomorrow.

    The war for talent remains a dominant narrative. Yet there has never been a generational cohort as diverse, as educated and as extensive as that of today. At IMD, we believe that the conversation around talent has to change. We believe there is an acute imperative to challenge the way that we think about talent, and to construct new ideas and approaches to developing transformational talent and dynamic capabilities through an analytical lens.

    The IMD Strategic Talent Solutions Initiative convenes a wealth of critical thinkers, practitioners, experts from industry and academia, from IMD and beyond into one dedicated ecosystem: a center of gravity committed to changing the dialogue on talent in the 21st century. It is our mission to challenge dogma and to forge new perspectives, and to empower the kinds of talent that can truly transform organizations, while continuously transforming itself.

    The IMD Strategic Talent Solutions Initiative:

    Provides a forum for a diversity of expertise and perspective, from industry and academia, that is dedicated to changing the narrative on talent sourcing, development, transformation and application.

    Is a center of gravity for dissent, discussion, analysis, research and exchange, creating a challenger voice in the conversation on talent in the 21st century.

    Is committed to the transformation of talent across three lines: talent as a transformer of organizations; talent that transforms itself; transforming current thinking on talent.

    Is committed to forging new ideas, new approaches, frameworks, tools and metrics for organizations, leaders and professionals looking to build future-facing resilience and dynamic capabilities to drive sustainable growth in changing times.

    It is our mission to drive and support new lines of research and to empower organizations with new modes of thinking and the tools to transform talent today, for tomorrow.

    The world is transforming around us, yet the way we talk about talent remains the same. Organizations complain about not having access to talent without reviewing the talent that they are sitting with and thinking about ways to transform or dynamize that talent. We believe that this fixed and linear way of thinking should be challenged.
