The CIPD is used to identify the talent of the individual who can make a difference to organisational performance. The talent of person can be defined as the systematic attraction, identification, development,engagement and retention and deployment of individual who are valuable for the organisation. According to Capelli, “Talent management is a matter of prediction related to the need of human resources and then creating a plan to meet it”.
The alternative approach detailed out about the quantitative strategic planning in the 1950s when market was more and stable and constant. The main problem associated with this approach is either surplus of deficit of talent within an organisation which reduces the overall performance of the organisation.
Capelli's approach is used to apply the time principles of supply chain management to talent management :
- Creation of internal development activities.
- Break development programme into smaller segments.
- Discuss the cost of development with the trainees.
- Keep in touch with top organisation like Deloitte etc.
- Engage the employee in talent management and provides them promotion and various incentives schemes.
As per the 2009 report, CIPD recognised the number of strategies that can used by the organisation to develop talent within the organisation as it helps in:
- Bring satisfaction among the employees.
- Acquire talent from other organisation and gives them more value.
- Enhance your focus on talent performance to retain and engage employees.

According to them, it is critically crucial for the organisation to not only give importance to the emerging current challenges but actively identify the anticipated future that may create new opportunity and barriers for the talent of the future.
