The most important feature of the practice should be to allow maximum utilization of the talent.  This implies that the person is not bothered much about other procedural calls within the organization.  It does not mean that he is not governed by systems but a perfect balance of freedom and sense of responsibility has to be built in the talented person.  Thus, the responsibility is very high on the part of the leadership.

A talent produces many products, methods and services (PMST).  It can also train.  The organization has to develop an entrepreneurial culture to ensure that both the employee and the organization benefit out of such PMST.

It is not easy to develop such entrepreneurial culture to wholly benefit out of a large talent pool as also to provide that finesse in simultaneously maintaining systems and control.  This is the pitfall.

I am trying to implement a project - Institute of Leisure Excellence (ILE), a division of which will be KRATE : Knowledge, Resources and Talent Exchange.   This project considers an uneducated artisan as also a software developer or even a photographer as a Talent.  Here, a HR person or a Management expert is also a talent.  All resources are covered here.  The most important feature of this project is that the talented person only handles activities where his talent is useful.  Rest of the entire back office/front office functions are outsourced to another suitable talent.

In effect, we will have ILE as an umbrella of BPOs.  These talented persons are identified at budding stage and the BPO started.  Their retirement is also ensured.  If it is an umbrella of a 1000 BPOs each BPO has other 999 customers for its talent and its hands are full, having engaged in activities related only to the talent.

Genuine talent development takes place not within an organization but through an umbrella organization.
