Benchmark your People & Talent practices

This diagnostic assesses 8 critical dimensions of Talent Practice Maturity; three related to Organisational and Leader Mindset, then five related to operating model Enablers (Tech, Brand, Data, Capability and Policies).

Baseline your current-state Talent Maturity

Co-created with the industry in 2017 and now on its third iteration, the self-assessment diagnostic helps align key stakeholders on where improvements are needed. Also used as part of our consulting, we have considerable data to support benchmarking.

The diagnostic shines a light on priority areas for remediation or enhancement. Particularly important if these relate to mindset dimensions.

The maturity diagnostic report will highlight where differences of opinion may exist internally in relation to 'what good looks like', sparking constructive conversations.

Frequently asked questions

Below are the most common questions we get asked. If you do have a question though, please feel free to reach out directly.

What data do you need to complete the model?

No data is required. The self assessment is a series of statements against which you will rate your organisation.

How long does it take to complete the assessment?

Most people will complete the assessment in 15-20 minutes.

How do I get an integrated report with multiple colleagues' responses on it?

If you wish to have one report which contains the responses of multiple people, you will need to reach out to gill.flynn@tqsolutions.com.au and advise her that you and your colleagues are about to complete the self assessment. We will ask that you identify yourselves in the contact fields so we can consolidate responses and produce a single report.

What happens to our responses and the data-set that sits behind the model?

We don't share the data with any third party, nor other client organisations. We will analyse the anonymised data set for trends and insights that we may use in PR and articles but no individual company data or reponse will be shared or commented upon. No specific client data is included in the self-assessment, it's just the opinions of people reacting to the statements. No confidential client information is therefore held by TQSolutions.

What is the platform you use to house the Maturity Model Self Assessment?

We license Qualtrics to run all of our survey solutions including the Talent Maturity Model.

Where do I go to access the Maturity model?

All information about the Maturity Model, as well as a link to the self assessment itself can be found on this page.
