Executive Talent Mapping

Before launching a search, we map the relevant leadership market, identify target organisations, assess available executive talent, and provide a view of compensation, mobility and competitive positioning.

All services

Talent mapping is commissioned when a board wants to understand the market before it commits: who leads the equivalent function at comparable organisations, how they are compensated, how mobile they are, and where the genuine scarcity sits.

The output is a written map with named individuals, organisational context, compensation ranges and an assessment of realistic accessibility — usable for succession planning, market entry, or as the foundation of a later search.

What the engagement covers

  • Target organisation and peer-group definition
  • Named leadership population with role and tenure detail
  • Compensation benchmarking and mobility assessment
  • Diversity of the available leadership pool
  • Competitive positioning of the client as an employer
  • Written map delivered with a calibration session

Methodology
