Please share your thoughts and comments about the Q&A that came from this webcast sponsored by Hewitt on 10/21/08.

• Is there a fundamental conflict in pursuing talent management with the reality that, talent management done properly is a labor-intensive and long term proposition? In a time when talent is scarce, building the competencies required to properly manage talent requires engaging the very critical resources in short supply that keep the company going.

• How do companies deal with those who are not part of the hi-po group? If made explicit that there is such a pool and for those not in it is it not de-motivating?

• Is there any trending data to support year over year performance related to these metrics?
