- Mr. V. Ravi, Head Learning and Development, L & T
 

 

Mr. V. Ravi shared his experienceas a Panellist at IIM Raipur’s First HR Confluence on August 25, 2012 (Theme: Managing Talent for Competitive Advantage: From Identifying and Acquiring Talent to its Retention).

Speaking on ‘Talent Development’ he enumerated the varioustalent development methods/strategies formulated, followed and the challenges faced while implementing it. He talked about the relevance and efficiency of conventional training methods which included, on the job training, classroom training, business industry exposure, coaching and mentoring.
 

 

He believed that the biggest challenge today faced by the industries was the challenges faced were Business Growth, Talent Outage, Leadership and Talent Development. Such issues cannot be tackled solely by one time training rather it required intensive, on-going efforts by the organisations to develop their talents further. He illustrated the example of 'Leadership Development Program' (LDP) at L & T which was an on-going (approximately 7 months) focussed approach towards leadership development that emphasized on Whole Person Understanding, Aspiration Setting, Action Planning, Creating Value and Measuring Impact.

He strongly suggested that companies should work with their talents to develop them so that the potential is realised and employees become a party to further growth of the business.
