Talent Boards have become a familiar part of the HR and Talent landscape. But have we started mistaking governance for Talent Management itself?

In this episode of Edan Haddock – Total Talent, Edan challenges one of the profession's accepted norms. He explores whether Talent Boards are simply a modern governance mechanism built on long-established Talent Management practices such as succession planning, high potential identification and capability development, and argues that the real work happens between the meetings.

Drawing on his experience as a practitioner leading Talent and People Experience at Movember, Edan shares why Talent Management should be an always-on discipline rather than a quarterly event. From career conversations and workforce planning to leadership development, internal mobility and AI, this episode explores what great Talent teams do every day to build capability, not just review it.

No guests. No sponsors. Just practical insights, honest opinions and a challenge to rethink how we develop talent in modern organisations.
