is most likely to
influence
whether young
football players
reach the
elite/top of their
game?
Question
Summerbrook
Development
Answer
• Date of Birth
• Cut-off date for youth clubs is December 31
• Players born earlier in year are older (faster & stronger) by
the cutoff and more likely to make the team
• ‘Early Birthday’ players secure access to better coaching and
competition, making them more likely to make the next elite
team

So………………..Early
Talent
• If you want to successfully grow talent for
the future:
– Clear vision, shared by all – especially
senior management
– Sufficient investment of budget and
resource
– Sustainable talent management
processes
– They need to be able to play
–
Summerbrook
Development
So what is wrong with many
company’s Talent Pipelines?
“…the pipeline model of
succession planning is
leaky, rusty and
fundamentally broken…..”
Corporate Executive Board (2013)
“Leaky”: Turnover, lost
aspiration, changing preferences
“Rusty”: Future misaligned with
current ability. Organisations
want to replace 1/3 of bench.
Summerbrook
Development
• Senior perception – Not business driver, long term
proposition, easy to cut, bigger process is broken
• Management perception – dips in performance &
engagement, increase in leavers, not able to fully
satisfy their HiPo’s
• HR perception – no measure of value (ROI), limited
career paths, low post programme support,
limited linking with HiPo Talent Plans, limited
dedicated support for post programme talent
So what is wrong with many companies Early
Talent Pipelines?
Summerbrook
Development
What evidence is there?
• Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (2013)
– 75% of companies do not perform Talent Management for graduates
• Corporate Executive Board (2013):
– “…the pipeline model of succession planning is fundamentally
broken…..”
– “Less than 30% of rising leaders are of sufficient quality…..”
– “1/3 of the positions that pipelines are being built for will not exist
by the time a leader reaches them”
– “25% of leaders believe there are opportunities for career
advancement….”
Association of Graduate Recruiters (2013)
– Under 33% of companies measure ROI on graduate progs.
– 56% of companies monitor salary progression
Corporate Leadership Council
– Successful HiPo Development can lead to a 15.4% advantage in Total
Shareholder Value
Summerbrook
Development
So what can we do to address
this for Early Talent?
1. Raise the profile of Early Talent
– Senior Management Attention
– Return in Investment and personal involvement
2. Integrate Early Talent into company talent strategy
– Expand strategy to include graduates and create career
paths
3. Tactics to increase sustainability
– Linking levels of leaders and delivering career skills for
graduate and managers
Summerbrook
Development
1. Raise the Profile - ROI
Options
• Return on Graduate hires
– Work value added (sales, increased efficiency/quality etc)
– Value of accumulated ‘in-company knowledge and experience’
– Future succession plan potential (to leader)
– Strong employee value proposition
• Cost avoidance
– Employees leaver after short stay
– Poor recruitment decision
– Slow pace of ‘getting up to speed’
– Poor employee value proposition
Choose the ones you want to use!
