Talent is key to competitive advantage. Market leaders understand this. People can become your organization's greatest asset when you tackle these talent challenges:

Adopting a forward-looking focus to tune into the needs of future talent. What capabilities drive market success? What risks are there into acquiring and retaining that capability? How are you positioned against your competitors? We believe this process starts by understanding what skills and capabilities you will require tomorrow.

Treating talent management as a business-critical process. Strategic talent management should be part of business planning, not a standalone HR exercise. What is the quality of your talent pipeline and succession plan? How are you responding to multi-generational workforces? We believe placing these risks firmly on the radar of people at the right level is key to developing and maintaining your competitive advantage.

Looking beyond traditional talent management approaches to hiring, developing, and retaining the best people. KPMG can help ensure you have access to the talent needed for the future by helping you assess potential business acquisitions, joint ventures, or alliances as new sources of essential talent -- or taking workforce flexibility to a whole new level through greater use of contingent workers, for example.

KPMG's services can help your business embrace change and strengthen performance through proactive approaches for improving your organization's most valuable asset, your people.
