Talentelligent: An Evidence-Based Systems Approach to Talent Management (23 Apr 2026)

Metro's Virtual Academic Event

An Evidence-Based Systems Approach to Talent Management

Session Overview:

TalentTelligent® represents the latest chapter in over four decades of applied research in leadership and talent development, rooted in the original studies and the work that shaped widely adopted competency and development frameworks at Lominger (acquired by Korn Ferry). Founded by long-time collaborators Roger Pearman, Robert Eichinger and including Michael Lombardo, TalentTelligent advances a fully integrated, research-based approach to talent management.

This interactive session will explore talent management as a coherent system rather than a collection of disconnected tools. Participants will examine how success profiles, assessment, feedback, and development practices can be aligned within a unified architecture that supports individual contributors, managers, and leaders.

We will briefly “zoom in” on three components of the system:

- A research-grounded 360 feedback methodology, including attention to

construct clarity and rater bias

- Career Architect® as a developmental resource and backbone

- An overview of the Foundations Certification, which prepares practitioners to

responsibly interpret and apply these frameworks

The session will conclude with dedicated private Q&A time with Roger Pearman and Robert Eichinger, offering attendees the opportunity to engage directly with two long- standing contributors to applied research and practice.
