Washington, D.C. - January 18, 2007 - The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and Development Dimensions International (DDI), a leading global human resource consulting firm, announced a partnership today to conduct important and comprehensive talent management research.
"As we move further into the 21st century, the evolution from industrial economy to knowledge-based economy is accelerating. Now, more than ever, an organization's competitive levers are the ideas, creativity, and speed of innovation driven by its most talented employees," said Allan Schweyer, HCI's President & Executive Director.
In order to uncover best and next practices in talent management, and identity areas requiring improvement, DDI and HCI will survey leading organizations and analyze findings. Research is aimed at determining whether organizations have the best talent in key positions, as well as how they manage human capital. It also seeks to identify today's most compelling talent management issues.
Those invited to participate in the survey include executives, HR managers and HR professionals from a wide variety of organizations, including multinational and foreign-owned companies, with locations in the U.S. and Canada. Seeking participants from these groups will ensure that the study is shaped by a broad base of diverse perspectives
"DDI continually conducts research to uncover key trends. The data gathered from this joint talent management research will help companies stay ahead of the curve," said Rich Wellins, DDI's Senior Vice President. "The research will also play a role in shaping the future of organizations' talent initiatives."
Preliminary survey findings will be available at HCI's National Human Capital Summit, which will take place in Phoenix, March 19-21. A webcast based on survey findings is also planned for spring 2007.
