Section TwoBuilding Your Talent Bench
Creating an environment where digital talent thrives
No company can outsource its way to digital excellence. Being digital means having your own bench of digital talent – product owners, experience designers, data engineers, data scientists, software developers, etc. – working side by side with your business colleagues.1
For this reason, digital and AI transformations are first and foremost people and talent transformations.2 And you can't start soon enough because you need to mobilize technologists to start delivering against the digital roadmap, and securing the right talent has the longest lead time compared to any of the other priorities.
Executives from legacy businesses should not think they need to cede top digital talent to Silicon Valley companies. Established companies with inspiring agendas and real commitment to people have been successful in creating a bench of digital technologists. Many have proven this.
The best digital talent programs go way beyond hiring to creating and delivering on exciting employee value propositions, developing more agile and digital HR processes, and committing to creating an environment where the best talent gets better. This section will show you how.
