Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are undergoing financial, structural and cultural transformation. With the marketization of higher education, ¡®war for talent¡¯ is also gaining momentum. As bars are raised on evaluating academics¡¯ performance, the human resources and academic leadership need to rethink their approach to talent identification, development, and deployment. The staff development function needs some adaptations to sustain in this knowledge-intensive industry. In the light of literature review and professional reflection, I argue academics as ¡®the talent¡¯ for any higher education institution. This paper discusses talent development in higher education and advocates ¡®an exclusive¡¯ approach to their professional development. It unpacks the three levels of HEIs talent development needs and presents a framework to meet them. The paper also elaborates on the interventions that are favourable for the fulfilment of academics¡¯ and institution¡¯s talent development needs. It finally proposes areas for further research.
