After a performance appraisal, 360-degree feedback programme, a Talent Review or a career planning session, you need a reliable and robust planning tool to both map out the development needed and monitor progress against plan.

Talent Advance® can create development goals automatically - based on 360-degree, performance appraisal assessments or free-format goals you set yourself. You can then analyse the nature of the development goals being pursued in your organisation showing you how development activities align with the priorities of your business.

You can appoint a coach or line manager and give them access to review the coachee's development plan, check on progress, make updates and collaborate.

The user can adapt their plan and create and manage private goals – in line with internationally recognised coaching ethics – and can get feedback from others on the progress of a specific goal at any time.

Using Talent Advance® means that you can align personal and role-specific development in line with your performance and career development needs.

Talent Advance® is powerful - and yet straightforward to use.

We've designed it to be easy to implement and quick to see the benefit, with just two clicks to get started. There's easy access to current development goals and a PDF document of the current development plan is created quickly. Entries and updates are automatically 'digitally signed' and time-stamped so progress can be recorded accurately. It's so straightforward.

Talent Advance® has been developed to integrate with the other Talent® modules – although can also be 'stand alone'. This means that you and your users have an individual Talent Management Portal so you can access assessment and development resources whenever you need to. If your organisation is new to integrated talent management, this could be your first important step.

Talent Advance® has been designed to be accessible to all and supports the international web accessibility standard W3C AA.

People like Talent Advance® because development plans can be customised - and yet still be based on your organisation's own templates. It provides a great balance between good practice and individual flexibility.

Within the system, goals can be aligned to competence areas and so provide an organisational view of competence development activity.

Development is about progress and progress on goals can be tracked through the management dashboards and tools, keeping the process on track with automatic and manual reminders.

As Talent Advance® has been designed by coaches, mentors and those skilled in developing others, it is relevant and valuable. What's more external or remote managers and coaches are able to access the system to view progress against plan.
