Next, using Google as a company needing a global taxonomy, competencies identified, and certification requirements, develop a rationale for a global taxonomy and certification for three key positions for which Google would likely need to develop talent. Explain why this type of talent development would be necessary and beneficial to Google.  

Week 8   “Resistance to Talent Management and Leaders’ Intuition” 

Please respond to the following:  Strategy-driven talent management is considered the most effective way to acquire and maintain top talent. Develop three possible ways that senior leadership might resist the development of a strategy and one way to combat each of these types of resistance to ensure a sustainable talent management strategy remains in place.
