Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper analyzes the talent management processes (TMPs) at universities in Queensland, Australia. The results reveal that, of the three TMPs, talent attraction (TA) strategies built around the social aspects of employee life have the most power to magnetize top talent, rather than merely celebrating the university's excellence. Of secondary importance were talent retention (TR) practices like offering flexible working. Indeed HR professionals can add value here by benchmarking their TR practices against those of competitors. Of lesser importance in the TMP hierarchy were the universities' approaches to developing existing talent. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Purpose This study aims to offer a strategic management response to societal disruptions of the magnitude triggered by the agricultural, industrial and information revolutions. These pose challenges that are much greater and different in kind than the industry-wide disruptions that businesses have learned to manage. Pandemics, climate change, biotech and artificial intelligence guarantee that such societal disruptions will be an inescapable and recurring reality. Design/methodology/approach The paper builds on the strategic management responses to wicked problems, which possess in microcosm the chaotic ambiguity that characterizes societal disruptions. Findings The authors propose a management process that affirms a sense of identity, identifies robust actions, adopts a real-options approach and uses a platform organization. Research limitations/implications The primary limitation is that the recommendations and findings are extrapolations of organizational practices in analogous situations. No examples of formal management processes specifically designed to address societal disruptions were identified. Practical implications The practical implications are significant. The specific recommendations in the paper directly address strategic management practice in organizations. Social implications The social implications are integral to the motivation of the paper as it describes the intrinsic characteristics of societal change and transformation, enabling organizations to interact with society on a dynamic basis. Originality/value While there has been growing interest and research into business and industry disruptions, the challenge of societal disruptions, which is the focus of this paper, has not been directly addressed.

Once the HR department declares your firm a “learning organization” and ensures that knowledge management processes are updated, new training is rolled out and mentoring introduced across hierarchies, everyone will be happy in the knowledge that they are now part of a learning organization.

Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Different aspects are perceived as critical to the success of a business organization. Many analysts point to leadership. Others argue that innovation matters most. While capabilities in such areas are vitally important, it is perhaps talent that frequently proves to be the real jewel in any firm’s crown. Most companies recognize the importance of talent management (TM). Notwithstanding this, a degree of ambiguity continues to surround what the activity constitutes. Talent management now also encompasses a global perspective. Companies operating on the international stage seek to appoint gifted individuals to key expatriate roles. This increasing global mobility (GM) means that addressing the prevailing lack of clarity has become even more urgent. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Change also became a hot topic as it often adopted the relatively new agile project management processes that had revolutionized software development. Change was good.
