Dr Nick Wylie from UWE’s Bristol Business School, a researcher from the University of the West of England, wants to meet people who are currently being fast tracked at work for a new project focusing on talent management in organisations.

The work - Talent Management in organisations is funded by UWE’s Early Career Researcher Grant Scheme and seeks to fill to a void in understanding about the experience of fast tracking with its results revealed at a seminar in the autumn.

Wylie explains: “There are two dimensions to my project. One part is the identification of talent within an organisation. I will be talking to a range of businesses to find out how fast tracking is organised and what are the main challenges in developing a ‘talent pool’.

“But I’m also very keen to talk to people who are currently on a fast track – maybe you are on a leadership programme or perhaps you have been singled out for a specific job role?

 “The project will not need participants to give up too much of their time – as a qualitative study I hope to interview around 20 people and also invite those who wish to take part to a workshop later in the year.  Also, the research is entirely confidential meaning that anyone interviewed as well as their organisation will be anonymous.”
