At Knowledge Infusion, we have spent the year developing Talent Management and Succession Planning strategies for many Fortune 1000 organizations.  This survey continues to show how organizations are planning on continuing to "grow their own" internally and how important understanding your talent pipeline today and into the future will be.  The sooner that organizations realize the import of understanding talent and how HR has to be aligned with the business to make the deployment of talent real, the sooner HR will be seen as the value add organization it truly is.

Human Capital Management strategies and the intelligent deployment of the future HRMS, Talent Management Suite and Workforce Information Management tools will be the technologies behind the scenes that make the above vision a reality.  Insure that your HR technology strategy is aligned to ready for your organization for the future.
