Diverse Talent Development Realities
Professional Development Series
• Traditional efficacy-based diverse talent
development is no longer enough;
practical business, leadership, and
collaborative skills training lacking and are
needed to effectively work and win in a
global distributed workplace and
marketplace.
• Minimal “business savvy” coaching not
equipping employees to navigate through
corporate structure.
• More and more pressure to deliver results
with minimum to none coaching/mentoring
on every day skills for high performance.
• Leader’s not equipped to mentor and
coach...no time, limited know-how
• Minimum dedicated dollars for development
• Focused on building practical career skills
for high achievement and flexibility,
encouraging leadership growth by
perpetual learning and practice; focus
on practical day-to-day skills needed
to work effectively throughout HP in
collaboration with others, customers, and
other partners; focus on “the basics”
Care about me; Help me grow
• Learning On-the-GO with coaching and
mentoring; with an enduring quality and
ongoing support to work with a
“corporate system” with a 21st Century
reality.
• Focused on building capability to innovate,
influence and win
• Authored by Debbe Kennedy with HP
people in mind; strategic partner across
HP since 1992; extensive leadership,
diverse talent coaching, mentoring
experience.
