This exceptional work, authored by Craig Friedman, a Talent Strategist at the firm, is a pioneering resource for organizations looking to implement effective skills-based talent strategies.
Transforming Talent Management with Practical Solutions
This new release serves as a companion to the acclaimed The Talent-Fueled Enterprise, authored by Mike Ohata with contributions from industry experts. It goes beyond mere theory by providing essential tools, frameworks, and step-by-step approaches to enable HR and business leaders to redefine their strategies in attracting, developing, and retaining talent.
"Skills-based talent strategies have emerged as a cornerstone of HR transformation," stated Friedman.

This guide illuminates the path from strategy to tangible actions that deliver real value to businesses.

The book features proprietary tools like the STREAM™ Maturity Model and Skills Value Chain, designed to help organizations evaluate their present capabilities and strategize for future growth.

According to Mike Ohata, a former KPMG Partner, this guide is essential for anyone involved in skill strategy, stating, "Craig Friedman reinvents conventional talent models, positioning skills as the core element that could vastly enhance workforce capabilities." This shift offers countless opportunities for organizational refinement.
The book complements The Talent-Fueled Enterprise, creating a robust toolkit for Chief Learning Officers, CHROs, and cross-dimensional teams. By providing unified language, common frameworks, and modular sections, these resources empower organizations to synchronize their vision and actions effectively.
