Director/Head – Talent Management, OD, Training

A very experienced Talent Management, Organizational Development Director/Head with solid strategic, operational and consulting

experience in several MNCs (Fortune 500, 100) with specialist expertise in competency frameworks, succession planning, training

strategies and management, HRMS systems and leadership development; 20+ year background in consulting nationally and

internationally in public and private sectors.

I believe that the most effective talent management and organizational development occurs when there is ‘fit’ between the core

strengths and motivations of an individual and the position s/he fills. My core strength is to strategically enable the organization to

ID an individual's unique talent to provide the critical insight managers need for evaluating ‘fit’ and optimizing the person's best use

in balance with organizational business objectives….and then to design, develop an effective response and manage a variety of

human capital interventions from start-up through to measureable impact and ROI.

Areas of expertise include:

• talent management – all levels including Hi-Po and emerging leaders strategies and requisite L&D programs

• organizational assessments and manpower capability and planning audits

• C-Suite trusted advisor; 1-2-1 senior management coach

Achievements in recent years include:

potential, performance, behavior, impact of loss, flight risk and readiness for promotion components – 2013-14

• designed and implemented global talent management, succession planning and competency based development

framework and tools followed by personal development plans (approx. 400 senior managers) – 2010-11

• led global competency based assessment of 1,000 personnel, gap analysis, criticality rating, leading to effective

framework linked directly to performance management system – maxed ROI

• played lead role in several national and global leadership development initiatives – 200*-****-****

• designed national leadership talent development and Hi-Po talent ‘pool’ initiatives (from start-up) – 2005

I have senior level strategic training and development and delivery experience with S,M,L global (MNC) organizations ranging in

size from 500-25,000 employees, managing staff from 2-42 people and budgets from $100K-3.3M. I am a passionate and strong

public/training room presenter – as well as being a published designer and writer of multi-media management training packages (e.g.

e-Learning, blended, experiential, applied, web-based, etc.). I am also certified for AchieveGlobal and Lominger Talent Development

and Leadership Architect Suite programs. I am very familiar with DDI, MBTI, DiSC and other training/talent/OD tools and have

designed and developed an extensive range of support tools for use by my consultants and trainers. I am also certified through the

UK CIPD (=ASTD+SHRM). After 4 yrs. in the Middle East and frequent project work in APAC, I returned to the US last year due

to a family situation. Since March last year I have been engaged on a self-employed basis on three (3) national and global contracts

focused on OD and integrated talent management and as an interim Director of Training, OE and Talent with a locally based national

mid-sized client (see client list) and am currently a sub-contract Senior Talent Management/OD Consultant with WorleyParsons. I am

seeking a position with a respected and stable company with national or global responsibility. Willing to travel and/or relocate for

the right position.

I await your call with thanks. DAVID LUTES
