How come you have the best consultants in the world working on your business strategy and mediocre ones implementing it ? There is something incredibly wrong here, you put the best brain to create a super product and let mediocre talent ruin it, I am sure you have thought through the last detail of the strategy while you go out with that hot product. The talent question begs the best answer in the world but we repeatedly give mediocre ones.
Why are your best brains not working on creating your talent strategy, we hear the chant 'people are our greatest assets' over and over, and we see ourselves failing on doing the best for the talent strategy over and over. The best brains are reserved for numbers and not people.
If we want a differentiated business strategy, we have to start with the people who are going to implement it. We have to create business differentiation through our talent strategy. We have to make talent strategy as relevant as our business strategy, give it the same time in the board room as the business strategy, give it the same analytical and multidimensional approach as we give to our business strategy, put our best people behind it to create the superlative, non replicable competitive edge.
Otherwise the best business strategy will remain the best business strategy of the boardroom.
