An important trend in talent management is the emergence of integrated talent management platforms. These integrated talent management platforms are emerging from the convergence of multiple single-function platforms. There are many good reasons for this convergence. There are, of course, the cost savings of having a single technology platform; but the greatest benefits are likely to come not from more efficient technology platforms but from the increased effectiveness of HR systems when they are driven from an integrated view of talent management. One organization that has begun to build its human capital strategy using such an integrated talent management platform is Weil Gotshal. Weil, Gotshal & Manges is a leader in the marketplace for sophisticated, international legal services. This is a firm of about 3,000 employees, with more than 1,200 lawyers across the US, Europe, and Asia. Cal Link, the Head of Human Capital Management Systems at Weil Gotshal will share the Weil Gotshal experience in implementing an integrated talent management platform.
