The document provides 10 templates for simplifying talent management processes to make them more effective. Template 4 focuses on pinpointing priorities by identifying which roles are becoming more critical to the organization's future success and shifting competitive dynamics. This allows the organization to focus its talent management resources on developing people in the roles that matter most for the future, rather than spreading efforts too thinly across all roles. Identifying critical roles provides an opportunity for HR to connect with senior leadership on how the business is changing and the capabilities needed.
