Talent & Potential has learned a lot from working with organisations of all sizes to create a talent management culture that delivers talent management for all. In the process, we’ve created the capacity for integrated succession plans across entire divisions, career conversations for all, great PDPs, and shifts of up to 6% in employee engagement.

Another longstanding (outmoded?) tool is the Personal Development Plan or PDP. In this article we look at a 21st century replacement for the PDP.
