In a turbulent world, organizations must be ready to anticipate changes in the economical and societal context, urging managers to adjust business priorities and dynamically redirect resources, specifically talent. As this requires a certain level of flexibility from many, companies must reevaluate their talent strategies to stay successful (e.g., Gallardo-Gallardo & Collings, 2022), and the interest in the field of talent management is growing. This is reflected in an increasing number of talent management publications (e.g., Pagan-Castaño et al., 2022), the introduction of new talent philosophies (e.g., Meyers et al., 2020), a call for total talent management that expands its scope to flexible workers (e.g., McKeown & Pichault, 2021) and an overall need for more agile approaches to managing talent (e.g., Cappelli & Tavis, 2018; Harsch & Festing, 2020) that are better suited for the new and deconstructed nature of work, characterised by new complexities (e.g., Rogiers & Collings, 2023). Hence, strategic workforce planning (SWP; Sparkman, 2018), skill-based talent management practices (e.g., Ammerman, Groysberg & Rometty, 2023; Collings & McMackin, 2023) and other concrete actions are adopted by organizations as avenues to become more proactive from a talent perspective. This PDW will explore how to reimagine the future of talent management by looking into avenues aimed at strengthening a dynamic view on talent and expanding proactive talent interventions. Research insights and reflections will be shared to identify opportunities for co-creation at the intersection between (1) innovative talent practice and research (2) dynamic talent policies, and (3) purpose-driven talent management.
