6. Impact Reported by Consulting Clients “We are already hiring people at a much higher level, with a greater clarity around essential competencies.” “Talent Initiative provided us with the focused time and support to build an integrated and strategic human capital plan with widespread buy-in.” “Our Talent Initiative’s team’s expertise was phenomenal.” “We now have human capital considerations in the DNA of our 5-year growth strategy.” “We have a board member with an HR background … she said this program is as good as anything she’s seen in the corporate world.” “Being in the room with our middle management made me realize that … they are a powerful resource that we underutilize. Talent Initiative is a really powerful tool to grow and invest in them.” “Most consultants come and go – this sticks.” “Before, we knew there was a mountain: now we know how much we didn’t know, where we are, what lies ahead and what it all really means.”
