Talent Pick Up:designing development around capability priorities
Rather than a disconnected series of trainings, the Talent Pick Up programme was designed as a structured development journey — starting from the capabilities the organization actually wanted to build.
The Context

What We Designed
Capabilities to develop were clarified together with the organization
Appropriate development interventions were selected for each capability
Learning content was customized to the participant audience
