How can you be sure you have enough of the right expertise and technical ability on your team to meet your business goals?
As a leader, you do your best to manage risk diligently in most business areas, but ''people risks'' are often held to a lower standard. The problem is real and growing, in part because you just don't know what to do about it. Whether leading a team, a department, a division, or a whole global company, managers and executives need a better way to think and talk about their critical talent needs. This isn't just about filling head count. You need to know what it costs in time and money to develop, replace, and/or align experts who have unique technical knowledge—and you also need to know what can go wrong in the meantime.
Insufficient skills and bench strength threaten every organization's productivity, innovation, and competitive edge. How can your strategy succeed without the right people—the scientists, engineers, technicians, designers, analysts, and other experts—to execute it? If you're looking for confidence, clarity, and speed backed by data, you don't have to settle any more.
Steve Trautman offers revolutionary yet practical ideas for every level of an organization (including the corporate board) so that you can manage talent risk with clear, measurable, and relevant data. This book goes far beyond academic theory to include a talent risk methodology, scripts for critical conversations, case studies, and useful tools derived from boots-on-the ground experience.

Great book on Talent Risk Management and Knowledge Transfer

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

I like how the author states in plain language that Talent Risk Management shouldn’t be “driven by more than luck and a current organizational chart”. From personal experience, I couldn’t agree more!

In this book, the author presents an innovative new step-by-step approach to thinking about the problem of Talent Risk Management and offers solutions that lead to structured and meaningful conversations founded in real data. Whether you inherit a team or need to re-purpose expert staff for next-gen projects, you need to ensure you have the right technical people in place to fulfill your business plan, and this book shows you how.

The author is very insightful and presents his solutions in practical, easy to follow steps. I highly recommend this book if you want to improve your leadership skills!

Practical and Data Driven Talent Risk Management Solutions

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Trautman lays out a framework for making sure you have the technical bench strength--all the technical skills and knowledge--you need within your organization to staff strategic initiatives or address business challenges that get in the way of delivering world-class products or services. He not only talks about how to identify technical talent risk, the book provides a road map of how to mitigate the risks. It is very practical, hands-on and data-driven. Win. Win. Win.

Tackling the biggest problem facing corporations today

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017

Finally, a clear and succinct roadmap to effectively manage your talent risks in symphony with your strategic plans. The book will give executives, leaders, and managers a comprehensive look at the talent risk challenges today and strategies to overcome a constant problem we have been dealing with for years with little or no framework to solve. A must read for leaders where an aging workforce, talent purges, and a constant moving workforce pool add continued stress to quarterly profits and long term survival.

excellent.

In this technology and AI driven world it is easy to forget that people are at the center of all success. As an early, young Microsoft employee, I was always amazed to hear the executives say that our distinctive competitive advantage was our pool of talented employees. Now, 20 years and many leadership jobs later, it is easy to believe but just as easy to ignore. This outlines clear strategies and formulas for creating and maintaining the right work force at all times. Very practical.

So useful!

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017

Brilliantly brings light and focus on staffing mishaps that we executives so often neglect to tackle and/or have the tools to evaluate. This book gives great, solid innovative tools for evaluating critical talent to ensure you have the right people when and where you need them. Highly recommend and will most likely read author's other book now.

Outstanding Must Read Explaining the Intersection Between Talent, Risk & Management

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2017

Steve Trautman's latest book is a must read for senior executives. He literally removes "the fog" that so often plagues companies when it comes to managing the intersection between Talent, Risk and Management. True to his easy down-to-earth approach, Steve addresses some common myths and provides analogies. Perhaps the best analogy is found on page 49 where he nails the description of "what would happen if manufacturing executives ... managed their operation risk in the way they manage talent risk today." This analogy alone is eye opening and may provide the impetus for organizations to finally, truly address Talent Risk Management.
