This study suggests emphasizing strategic coherence in talent identification and development. It recommends focusing resources on effectiveness markers and integrating top-down and bottom-up strategic processes for better performance.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Organizational Psychology
Background:
- Recent research highlights the importance of talent identification and development.
- Existing frameworks may not fully capture effectiveness markers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose future research and practice directions in talent identification and development.
- To emphasize strategic coherence and resource allocation.
- To recommend operationalizing strategy through integrated processes.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent research in talent identification and development.
- Conceptual framework development (Performance, Outcome and Process).
- Analysis of strategic process integration.
Main Results:
- Strategic coherence is crucial for effective talent identification and development.
- The Performance, Outcome and Process framework can identify effectiveness markers.
- Optimized resource deployment is key to achieving effectiveness.
Conclusions:
- Integrating top-down and bottom-up strategies enhances talent and performance systems.
- Future research should focus on operationalizing strategic coherence.
- Effective talent development requires a strategic and resource-conscious approach.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
