Talent Development Services Overview
Developing internal talent can pay for itself many times over, whether directly through improvements in performance and results, or indirectly through, for example, better retention and engagement levels. The realisation that talent development requires more than simply implementing traditional learning activities is evolving. It means taking a wholistic approach to every aspect of the employee’s in-work experience and enabling them to access the types of support most appropriate for them, in the moment and moving forward.

How will Talent Development Services help you?
‘As we redefine our businesses, we recognise that we need to upskill and reskill our employees.’
Typical Business Challenge
Key questions businesses are grappling with right now include:
- If remote working is going to be integral to the business, how do we virtually onboard new hires so that they are able to do the job and feel part of the organisation and their teams?
- How can we make learning work for the increasing numbers of Gen Y and Gen Z employees who want to learn through tech-based solutions such as VR and gamification?
- If remote learning enables us to bring together employees across the globe (or even across a single country!), how do we leverage this to build and cement relationships, team working and engagement?
- What do we do with traditional Instructor Led training programmes? Which ones are relevant and fit for purpose? Which should be re-designed to reach and engage learners more efficiently without compromising on effectiveness? And how do we do this?
- How do we ensure that our employees engage with the most appropriate self-service learning solutions for their needs, complete the programmes and apply the skills?

Working with B2E’s Talent Development Services Principal
Jackie Ventom has more than 25 years L & D experience, both in-house and through her own consultancy business. She believes passionately that L&D is an integral part of the business and that, to be effective, it should be driven by the business goals and strategy rather than box ticking and the latest trends.
Jackie started her career with the (then) Thomson Regional Newspapers, which had a well-deserved reputation for the quality of its training programmes and which afforded Jackie the opportunity to start her work in this area. She was fortunate enough to combine Learning and Development responsibilities with functional leadership roles at both Ulster Television (ITV) and News UK, before launching her own consultancy. This new career direction brought partnerships with leading UK media brands such as Gannett (UK), Trinity Mirror and Independent News & Media, as well as global partnerships as a preferred learning and development provider to the news publishing industry’s trade organisation, WAN IFRA, pro bono work in developing markets and a long term partnership on a global branding project with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Jackie is a member of, and holds various endorsements from, the C.I.P.D., L.P.I. and I.L.M. She has a range of training and coaching certifications, including the L.P.I.’s Certificate in Online Learning Facilitation and is an accredited coach for Saville, Zenger Folkman & Insights Discovery.
