I am about to start on a new project, Talent Mapping. Its purpose will be to accomplish the following:

A) Identify and "Map" Talent

Using a variety of sources, I will TAG the talent that I am able to find. Simply stated, talent are people/professionals. The tags that I will use be based upon three sets of information in additon to one's name.

My Primary Set is:
  1. Employer
  2. Industry
  3. Title and/or Profession
  4. Location

My Secondary Set is:

  1. Email Address
  2. Phone Number

My Tertiary Set is:

  1. Home Address Information
  2. Up to Date Resume or Bio Information


B) Organize and Distribute

All the information I gather will be organized into a "Talent Directory." This diretory will be based upon a web based CRM (Contact Relationship Management) system and have a heirarchy of information so that all "talent" will be related to their current employer. Essentially creating a who's... "who and where" and what do they do type list.

For distribution, a Talent Directory package will be created for each corporate sponsor so that they will have their "own data" and can begin to create a one-to-one relationship with key people in their industry. However, this single "per sponsor" package will also be able to be updated from a central location. This enables "talent" to update their information and have it distributed out to each sponsor who has a directory in one easy step.

C) More to follow.
