Midlands Talent Community of Practice

“Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” Etienne Wenger

Our aspiration for the Midlands Community of Practice is to create a true community of system and organisational talent practitioners who have strong relationships, shared ideas and collaborative working. This is a community for you and with you involved. Within the Community we aim to create a blueprint for great talent practice within the Midlands region and we need your voice, input and collaboration to make this a true inclusive process for all of our Midlands organisations.

What is it about?

The session will be facilitated by Andrea Glover from Silvermaple, and we also look forward to welcoming Rosie Smithson, Head of Organisational Development at Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust who has kindly agreed to share her experiences of embedding talent management practices.  The Trust’s approaches to talent mapping and succession planning were cited as a contributing factor in their ‘Outstanding’ CQC well-led rating. We will also be taking a look at succession planning including a quick guide to implementing different approaches as well as an opportunity to network, share with and learn from organisation and system colleagues.

How is it run?

This is a 150 minute virtual workshop . A rest break will be included.

Is there a cost?

No, this has been funded by the Midlands Talent Team
