Design and implementation of a Corporate Talent Model for a leading business conglomerate in Peru
With a robust and functional Corporate Talent Model, we have freed up time and energy for the corporate area to focus on strategy and attracting the best talent in the sector.
Challenge
A leading business group in Peru needed to evolve its Corporate Center to enhance its market value and attract top industry talent. Although the Corporate Talent Model included key elements defined by committees (objectives, performance, and potential evaluation), significant execution challenges persisted within the Business Units due to complexity and disconnection.
Solution
In collaboration with the Talent area, we prioritized key aspects for improvement and established a four-phase design methodology: diagnosis, design and piloting, modeling, and deployment. This approach allowed us to test each element of the model in pilot units, identifying improvements before full implementation. Key project highlights included:

  1. Cultural evolution: We promoted behaviors aligned with the desired corporate culture.

  2. Goal restructuring: We simplified the objective-setting model for the Management Committee, making it more accessible and operational.

  3. Competency evaluation: We standardized evaluations and defined their impact on performance results.

  4. Potential identification: We incorporated knowledge as an additional axis in evaluation criteria.

  5. Selection process optimization: We designed objective screening criteria and reduced required formats, streamlining the process.
Benefits to the Organization
The new Corporate Talent Model has delivered tangible results, including:

  • Operational simplification: Greater freedom for Business Units in executing the model, allowing the corporate area to focus on strategy and Top Talent acquisition.

  • Consistency and compliance: We ensured clear milestones and consistent execution across all Business Units, reducing operational strain.

  • Cultural permeation: We incorporated concrete practices to reinforce the work culture throughout the group.

  • Strategic focus: Interactions between the corporate area and Business Units are now centered on strategic issues, moving away from tactical tasks.
