Project management as a component of talent management programmes

Abstract

The aim of the article is to explore the poorly researched phenomenon of the use of projects as a talent development tool within talent management programmes. The author conducted a literature scoping review to examine the state of knowledge on the use of projects and project management in talent management programmes. The author identified 7 articles that address the research question. The literature review confirmed that the phenomenon exists, but it is poorly researched. Factors influencing the effectiveness and efficiency of using projects in talent management were identified, conclusions were drawn regarding the potential impact of talent management on projects carried out within talent management programmes and a preliminary conceptualization of the relationships between projects and talent management programmes was presented. This study may serve as a basis for planning field studies exploring talent management programmes that use projects as one of the tools for employee development.
