Free Masterclass | Future of Talent Assessment & Development: Why Outdated Models Must Evolve
James Brook
Is your talent assessment model stuck in the past?
The world of work is changing fast – yet many organisations still rely on 20th-century tools to make 21st-century talent decisions.
Traditional models built around fixed traits, “ideal leader” types, and rigid competency frameworks no longer fit today’s dynamic, diverse, and fast-moving workplace. They fail to capture the fluid nature of personality, the importance of learning agility, and the potential hidden in evolving strengths.
The result? Missed potential, disengaged employees, and talent strategies that can’t keep up with change.
Join James Brook, Founder and Managing Director of TalentPredix™, for a thought-provoking live masterclass on how to move beyond outdated assumptions and towards more inclusive, strengths-based, and predictive approaches to talent assessment and development.
