Westport, CT
I am the founder of Talentism LLC, creators of Talent Architecture. Talent Architecture is a new way of thinking about building businesses that win. It is based on the insight that people realities drive business success, and that failure to design organizations based on what people are truly like usually leads to business defeat.
Talent Architecture uses a science and data-driven approach to design and build companies in which the culture, people design, strategy and talent are all consciously “architected” to reliably and predictably envision, select and achieve goals that create lasting business success.
