Create a Talent Development Action Plan  

Every organization’s talent development action plan should be customized to both the organization and the unique team members that make up the organization.  Begin by brainstorming/identifying talent development strategies that make sense for your organization and each created category. Then plot your strategies in a way that aligns with the color-coded talent pool groupings.  

Example of table with Development Strategies for each talent pool grouping: 

Now you are ready to create a talent development action plan.  

Here is what that could look like:

Employee Name 

Development Strategy   

Development Strategy Tasks 

Responsible Party 

Timeline 

Progress Notes  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Development Strategy Tasks would be opportunities the employee and supervisor/leadership have agreed upon and unique to the organization, employee, and position. 

For example: 

  • Internal opportunities could include:  

    • Leading a task force or project team
    • Evaluating and updating policies and procedures
    • Updating orientation or training programs
    • Creating administrative or clinical ladders  

  • External opportunities might include:  

    • Serving on a board or committee 
    • Volunteering with organizations that offer exposure to new experiences
    • Partnering with other organizations to lead a project or initiative
