Talent 4.0 Project aims to develop different resources to enable Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to apply modern Talent Management and Analytics in their business strategy and HR practice. Furthermore it wants to draw a strong contribution to bridge the gap between current VET practices and business needs. ​

To emphasize the and the 4.0 economy we have made a slight change in the logo with the 4 in red to demonstrate the connection to 4.0 economy and labour market. At the same time we have also updated our web-site and given it a brush up since the first version and start of the Talent 4.0 project.

Is your business ready to meet the challenge connected to Talent Management in the coming years? How will you recruit, motivate, develop and retain your staff?
Having the best team is crucial for all businesses - not at least for the small businesses there every single employee is a key to success. Recruiting the "wrong" person can be very costly and loosing a key resource can mean a dangerous situation there the entire business is at risk.
Depending on the size and type of organization it can be the owner, the CEO, a HR manager or any other role that has to be competent and up to date with how the "game" of Talent Management is played.

In the Talent 4.0 project we will develop some useful guides and describe a bunch of concrete tools that can be of good use. We have now been collecting tools in all partner countries and a summary and presentation of them will shortly be available. The next step for all partners in Talent 4.0 will be to design a training package to be used by managers and other individuals responsible for the competence development and manning of a company. Stay tuned to receive our information and to access the tools and training packages.​

Talent Management is a crucial skill and a necessary domain to have a clear strategy on for the sustainability in European SMEs. If you manage to attract, develop and motivate skilled and committed employees - you are closer to a long term success with your business. 
In Talent 4.0 we are creating a training- and tool package for entrepreneurs, business owners and managers in SMEs in order to bring awareness and to provide with bits and pieces that can give to the process of Talent Management.

In the end of March 2019 it was time for the second partner meeting and to have an update on findings in the Research, national and as a summary, and to make decisions regarding the coming stages in the project. 
As presumed already in the application - the knowledge about and use of Talent Management in SMEs are very limited. Larger enterprises with HR departments and Talent Managers have already taken some steps into the world of Talent Management and there are several tools and software to support the TM process in those companies. However - the smaller enterprises are only in the beginning of getting Talent Management into the organization in a strategic way.​
