“Let us never forget that TMI exists to help organizations leverage human talent to deal better with future. Conventional strategic HR – the concept, the profession, and the system, everything - began failing even in the most enduring of organizations by the turn of the new millennium – well before they realized. But now, HR needs to get its teeth back. And that’s what we have set out to do at TMI - and will have to keep doing. We have to keep breaking new grounds in how Talent Management should transform in its definitions, models, structure, approach, and practice. But equally importantly, we will have to continuously explore how TMI can enrich the concept, the ideals, the practice and the systems of HR enriched with Talent Management through our knowledge, standards, and credentials.

We should empower organizations, HR leaders, and Talent Management practitioners with the agility required to respond to the challenges of the future, and arm them for their new fights on the markets. Let us always remember that at TMI, we are on a mission to deliver confidence to nations, to their industries, and to their professionals, that adoption of international standards in Talent Management will add most to their capabilities, promise, acumen and the will to win in the present, and shine in the future. We have to be with the world in its journey to being more - every step of its way to it - all along. TMI is in the business of inspiring confidence that with us around, it will be easier to be right about Talent Management, and we shall always grow this confidence.”

How TMI Reboots HR
through
Talent Management

TMI standards, credentials, knowledge, initiatives, and networks cheerlead the much-needed revolution in the way organizations leverage their human capital for enduring success. Talent Management Institute seeks to go much beyond merely fueling 21st century HR through Talent Management; it is working at making this emerging discipline, the new engine for organizations’ bold march into the future.

Our explorations in Talent Management in the past few years have led to the development of the TMI standards and credentials that help CHROs, HR Business Partners, and strategists embed and embrace Talent Management as an important functional practice within the body-fabric of HR, and also assist organizations fire their next round of growth through talent and human capital. TMI standard-frameworks for enterprise talent systems help organizations discover the power of Talent Management, and embrace, adopt and practice it as a hyper–business function to catalyze success. TMI standards and certifications stand on a robust pedestal of knowledge derived through years of comprehensive studies on the dynamics of talent and human capital in business and management globally. TMI certifications for professionals promote higher new levels of excellence in the thought and practice of Talent Management. In a similar vein, TMI-Wharton programs blend the Wharton and TMI knowledge expertise to offer high-achiever HR professionals, CHROs, international leaders, consultants, and academics in human capital management an unprecedented new opportunity to learn the art and science of Talent Management.
