About Course

Phase 3 of the Certified Talent Management Strategist (CTMS) certification is the culmination of everything you’ve learned. Instead of responding to an award-winning case study, you’ll write your own, based on a talent management initiative from your organization. It can be one you’ve completed, one that’s in progress or one you plan to put into practice. This is often the most rewarding part of the certification, because the work you produce is grounded in your own organization and can be put to use right away.

Using the Phase 3 template, you’ll provide background on your organization and the talent challenge you’re addressing. Then you’ll identify the business need, design the solution, explain how it is or will be implemented, describe your change management approach and outline the measurable benefits. Throughout, you’ll draw on the CTMS competencies, the Resource Guide and the Excellence in Practice materials from Phase 1. If you don’t know every detail, you may make reasonable assumptions. If results aren’t yet available, you’ll describe what success would look like. Much like a thesis defense, a board of evaluators will review and score your submission. Once you pass, you’ll officially earn your Certified Talent Management Strategist designation.
