Mapping talent development: definition, scope and architecture
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of talent development, define its scope and identify the issues involved in formulating talent development strategies in organisations. Design/methodology/approach: The paper reviews the relatively scant and fragmented literature on talent development processes. Findings: The literature review revealed that talent development is usually discussed as part of a wider talent management process. The literature highlights issues concerning who is the talent to be developed, what competencies should be developed, who drives development, what is the appropriate pace of development and what is the architecture to support the development. Research limitations/implications: The paper is solely theoretical in nature; however, it does identify gaps for further research. Practice implications: The paper raises a number of important questions that should be considered by organisations when they engage in talent development. Originality/value: The paper contributes to a perceived gap in the literature and highlights the issues that come within the terrain of talent development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
