So what is the answer?

• Fundamental changes are required
• It needs to start at the top, the CEO must
  establish a talent management culture and it
  needs to be a strategic imperative
• Nothing ever starts as strategic a CEO decides
  whether something is strategic - when there is a
  clear line between cost or profit and that
  activity
• The new breed of (HR) executive leaders require
  new, multi-faceted capabilities including domain
  knowledge, technology understanding, vendor
  management skills, change management expertise,
  and regulatory and compliance knowledge.
