This dynamic system and process enhances our organizational effectiveness and capability in the following ways:

• It is a source of real-time, visible data and key metrics that are used by our business leaders to make critical business decisions
• It aligns our business strategy to short, medium and long-term succession plans and leadership pipelines to ensure we attract and source the right talent at the right place at the right time
• As a driver of cultural change, it enables the identification of our talent pool and talent exchange candidates as well as elimination of talent ‘destroyers’
• It increases our employee engagement in line with AI’s vision ‘To be the most successful and admired company in the region’ and the values of ‘Employees as Core Assets’ and ‘Meritocracy’
• It also increases return-on-investment (ROI) - i.e. productivity, profit, revenue and reduction of recruitment costs

Two "bottom-up" talent review cycles happen each year.  Input into these processes are:

• Individual biographies
• Individual aspirations
• Individual self-review on performance
• A rating of performance, potential, risk and impact of loss, and career mapping for each individual by his/her respective business leader
• Performance reviews

As owners of this process, business leaders conduct operational talent reviews (OTRs) and present the data to their respective presidents as part of a group talent review (GTR), who in turn present to the CEO.  The output of these processes include:

• Detailed action plans for all presidents and business leaders on strategic talent issues
• Succession and talent acquisition plans
• Individual development plans for each employee discussed.  Self-managed individual development plans are advocated and individuals are provided online access to alternative learning and development options, in line with their identified development needs.
