Making HR Drive Strategic Competitiveness through Talent Management

The TMI standards and certifications establish the ultimate proficiency and capability benchmarks, which organizations can leverage to achieve excellence in talent-focused Human Capital Management. TMI standard-frameworks enunciate clear guidelines that help organizations use Talent Management concepts to turn their workforce into strategic drivers of long-term competitive advantage and value.

TMI's comprehensive Talent Management ecosystem includes the world's most authoritative credentials and standards on Talent Management, as well as empirically perfected, secure, and optimized credentialing mechanisms. All efforts of the Talent Management Institute are directed at helping Talent Management evolve into a specialist profession and function – one that is more connected to the strategic business aspects of an organization, and not to the HR function alone. Even as TMI knowledge and credentialing initiatives are turning Talent Management into an essential science for businesses to know today, we also spearhead some of the most concerted efforts ever to help Talent Management embed as a powerful consciousness into the very fabric of organizations in the 21st century.

World's First Specialist Talent Management Credentials for HR Professionals

For HR practitioners and professionals looking to achieve and contribute more via talent management, the four TMI credentials are the gold standard in Talent Management qualifications today. The TMP^™, STMP^™, GTML^™, and Fellow-of-TMI^™ credentials are founded on the most comprehensive Talent Management knowledge framework yet - the TMI Universal Knowledge Framework (TMI-UKF^™). These certifications serve as the most reliable validations yet of the extraordinary competence and capabilities in Talent Management that HR professionals necessarily need to demonstrate to shine brighter in their careers. Notably enough, the TMI-UKF^™ fleshes out the most reliable body of indicators of professional proficiency in talent management.

Making Talent Management an Integral Component of Modern HR

The TMI-ETMS^™ standards and credentials for enterprises accord attention to addressing two critical imperatives for modern organizations. The first is the 'staggering' of the Talent Management function across departments. TMI advocates yanking Talent Management out of the HR silos and making all managers and departments own up to the responsibility of building a ‘talented and talent-focused organization’. The second necessity is of positioning enablers within the organization for helping convert more employees into talents. TMI-certified professionals and enterprises succeed in taking Talent Management out of the notion of departmentalized HR, and spread it out across all other functions – ideally building Talent Management into the KRAs of managers across the board. That is the TMI way of getting Talent Management established as an integral component of HR – and yet one which connects up sharpest and most directly with the business and the strategy of the organization.

Making Organizations Drive Value through Talent & Talent Management

Transitioning from a workforce-oriented approach to a talent-centered one has proven a little easier for organizations that have clearly understood and mapped the value of future-readiness for their business continuity. Conventional HR edifices embracing and internalizing state-of-the-art talent management standards and practices; and HR professionals, practitioners and leaders adding talent management into their core competencies – these two aims became missions with TMI, when we set out to rethink talent management. Coming up closer, the TMI credentialing framework, standards, and certification programs collectively embody two potent ideological forces – the first is charged with facilitating the shift in an organization's outlook from enhancing workforce productivity to adopting a differentiated people-management approach; and the second is expected to drive enterprises into converting to thriving pools of talents who can contribute significantly to creating sustainable long– term value for stakeholders.

Evolving a Universal Body of Knowledge for Talent Management Stakeholders

Ever since its emergence as a potentially game-changing concept for organizations, Talent Management has missed a robust body of knowledge for human resource professionals intending to specialize in Talent Management. This body of knowledge would contain empirically tested and theoretically rigorous principles, practices, frameworks, and standards on professional skills and knowledge prerequisites for excellence in the practice of Talent Management, and which could be applied across organization-types, business verticals, and almost independent of geographic and cultural barriers.

The establishment of the world’s first Talent Management knowledge framework - the TMI-UKF^™ - signaled the coming of what were the most exacting of the global standards for Talent Management ever written since the advent of the function. The TMI-UKF^™ paved the way for TMI to build its comprehensive TMI TMBoK^™ - the world’s most exhaustive and authoritative treatise on what knowledge areas are mission-critical for Talent Management professionals and practitioners, and how should Talent Management potential, capacities, and proficiencies be effectively assessed and validated.

Today, the TMI standards and certifications directly contribute to the expansion of Talent Management excellence across the world. On the one hand, TMI actively spearheads the emerging global movement to establish frameworks and standards that help perfect the science of seeding, breeding, nurturing, managing, selecting, and hiring talents. On the other hand, TMI continually innovates to make its credentials coin and refine new international benchmarks for assessing and validating potential and promise of professional excellence in Talent Management.

Invoking Enterprise-wide Consciousness for Talent-Centered HR

Making organizations realize the criticality of Talent Management for continuing growth and business excellence has become a major TMI thrust over the years. TMI standard-frameworks and credentials together are designed to assist CHROs conveniently and cost-effectively make Talent Management the center-piece of their new-look, reinvented HR. TMI teams and partners are working to get unique TMI thought-innovations like enterprise–wide consciousness and accountability unshackle the hitherto centralized system of managing human capital in organizations.

TMI today is the world's leading advocate of treating Talent Management as a differentiated hyper-function and a core managerial skill. TMI standards and credentials unequivocally encourage treating Talent Management as a fundamental responsibility for all functional managers across departments. TMI's industry–agnostic credentialing programs and solutions for excellence in the Talent Management practice are also founded on the TMI belief that organizations need to make Talent Management an enterprise-wide consciousness and accountability, if they have to head confidently into the future.

TMI Credentials and standards are the strongest mechanisms yet around that inspire organizations to continuously keep growing the proportion of talents within their human capital. For one, TMI's standards help organizations get the most reliable yardsticks for hiring, identifying, and grooming talents. For another, TMI Credentials and the credentialing framework together spell out a powerful combination of a system, benchmarks, and easy-to-follow tracks that organizations can follow to systematically transform their workforce into talents.

Enhancing Talent-Quotients of Organizations

The degree to which the aggregate competence of the people-pool of an organization seems ready for an uncertain future is the most reliable indicator of its promise for winning in the future. TMI has stickled steadfast on its premise that talents are surer bets for the future, and hence, 21st century organizations need to concentrate on increasing their talent quotients. Enhancement of talent quotients in organizations contributes significantly to the increase in their capacities for managing flux and change more confidently.
