Feedback on the course from Matthias Hablawetz, Human Resources Developer at A.T.U.
"I started the course to become an academically certified talent manager in May 2021 and successfully completed in fall 2021. The practical content of the course, the exchange with other colleagues and the feedback from TMAG were very helpful. As part of the course, I was allowed, among other things, to design an internal talent program, which is now already in a very successful implementation phase at ATU. I received very positive feedback from the participants of this talent program, all the way up to the management.
Thus, this course had an absolute added value for me personally, but above all also for my daily work as a personnel developer."

"I attended the course in winter 2023/2024 and, as the person responsible for a business unit, it seems unusual at first glance to deal with an "apparent" HR topic.
However, the intensive engagement with the topic and the consideration from different perspectives has confirmed that the impetus for talent management must come from the product and the business unit.
The deeper you go as a manager, the more you realize that it is strategically relevant for the business success of the business unit to deal with succession and active talent management at an early stage.
We are now taking this topic further internally in the company by first communicating its importance to the next management levels and working on a model to incorporate this into the assessments."
You want to know,

- how a forward-looking competency model must be structured and where it can be used in a meaningful and helpful way?
- how talent can be identified strategically and in a proper way?
- how to ensure that talent and succession management are effective and helpful for the company and not a compulsory event?
- which digital formats make sense in strategic talent and succession management and what is important and necessary to regard when introducing and using specific IT software?
- what’s the Return on Investment (RoI) of strategic talent and succession management? How does a pragmatic, specific useful talent management cockpit look like?

Derived from our experience gained in more than 150 talent and succession management projects and combined with the findings of our international study “Talent Management Index 1.0 and 2.0” (sample size: more than 400 international organizations) – we know what is important in today’s talent and succession management to be(come) fit for the future. We strive to make this knowledge accessible for our course participants to help them design talent and succession management in line with their organization’s challenges and needs.

Methodology
Participants work concurrently on specific talent and succession management issues in their organization.
- The methodological basis of the course is the PRYSMA® model (PRofessional CompetencY RiSk MAnagement). We have merged our study results and the knowledge from over 100 relevant TMAG projects on talent and succession management to form a clearly structured and experience-based model, the PRYSMA® model.
- A company-specific analysis serves as the starting point to identify the current status of talent and succession management in the respective company by means of the Talent Management Index® (TMI®).
-
The model’s single elements are presented modularly as short impulses and are directly linked to the current situations of the participants, including room for discussion.
-
Between the 7 modules, participants work on immediate implementation opportunities of the respective topic in their organization.
-
By working in learning groups, accompanied by real-time support, podcasts, peer group consulting, working-out-loud formats (HOT sessions), expert coaching, fuck-up sessions, sparring, chat rooms, etc. with talent management experts, each participant finds the right fit for further developing talent and succession management in their organization.
-
In this way, the theoretical superstructure is gradually substantiated in practice-oriented initiatives in each participant's organization.
-
During the course, each participant develops a concrete and tangible master plan to further develop talent and succession management to the next maturity level in their organization (in TMI®).
