Sobre IBD

This resource is designed for organizations building stronger talent from within, including: executives, HR and talent leaders, L&D professionals, career development practitioners, and workforce or post-secondary partners focused on mobility, retention and long-term performance.Career Development as Strategy is a practical, evidence-informed playbook for organizations that want to make career development more coherent, visible and effective as a core part of workforce strategy.Many employers invest significantly in learning, leadership, internal mobility and employee well-being. Yet these efforts are often designed and delivered in silos, limiting their impact. Leaders struggle to see results, employees lack clarity about growth opportunities, and organizations miss the chance to align people development with evolving business priorities.This book introduces the concept of the internal career centre as essential workforce infrastructure. Rather than a new program or platform, the internal career centre is a co-ordinated system that intentionally connects existing career, learning and talent initiatives. When aligned, these efforts support internal mobility, capability-building and adaptability at scale, helping organizations respond more effectively to change.Designed for real-world organizational conditions, Career Development as Strategy focuses on strengthening what already exists. The playbook avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and instead provides practical frameworks, guiding questions and tools that help organizations assess readiness, prioritize action and make informed decisions without adding unnecessary complexity.Key topics include:Why fragmented career and talent efforts limit organizational impactHow internal career centres support mobility, reskilling and workforce adaptabilityAssessing organizational readiness before investing in new initiatives or technologyBuilding an evidence-informed business case, including ROI considerationsPrioritizing actions that improve workforce performance and resilienceOrganizations use Career Development as Strategy in multiple ways. It can serve as a standalone guide to clarify thinking, align internal conversations and establish a shared language around career development as a strategic asset. It can also function as a diagnostic tool to identify gaps, assess readiness and determine where to focus first. For organizations ready to move from insight to action, the playbook provides a clear entry point into deeper, applied workforce development work, including more structured approaches such as the Internal Career Centre Bootcamp.Ultimately, this book reframes career development not as an individual benefit or isolated HR activity, but as a critical lever for organizational performance, adaptability and long-term success.

    The August riots of 2011 started off in London and spread across different parts of the country. People questioned whether or not the riots were really about the shooting of a young black man by the police. That is open to debate. What is, however, unquestionable is that there are segments of society that are disengaged from the mainstream. While some may believe that this was ...
