The Center for Talent Reporting (CTR) is dedicated to advancing Talent Development Reporting principles (TDRp). TDRp is a groundbreaking, industry-led initiative to bring standard principles and reporting to all human capital processes. The effort was launched in October 2010 by Kent Barnett from Knowledge Advisors and Tamar Elkeles from Qualcomm. They brought together thought leaders and prominent practitioners to oversee the development of guiding principles, standard measures, statements, and reports—much like the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) provide for accountants. We started with learning and development and we now have the framework in place including definition of measures and sets of standard statements and reports for al lkey human capital processes. Learn more about TDRp by reading our Introduction to TDRp paper.
CTR was formed in order to…
Develop and promote the adoption of reporting standards for human capital that meet the needs of senior executives, talent management leaders, program managers, and other stakeholders. It is our vision that Talent Development Reporting principles are broadly accepted and widely employed as the world-class reporting standard for all human capital processes.
Funding comes from memberships and partners as well as from Workshops, the Annual Conference and Coaching. Governance is provided by a nine-member board of directors and an Advisory Council. Members have access to a measures library (with over 700 measures), more than 70 sample statements and reports in Excel, and detailed guidance on implementing TDRp.
