- IRI Forms Talent Management Partnership
Workforce Management for Leading Edge Organizations
Talent management systems don’t manage performance – people do. And they can do it better with an online system that captures and organizes useful data to help create a positive relationship between employee and manager.
The strategic partnership of IRI and Centranum enables clients to more effectively and strategically manage their workforce, resulting in the increased ability to:
- Attract and retain the right people
- Build staff capability and engagement
- Improve productivity and performance
- Plan for and manage the future
- Achieve better business results with reduced staffing costs
Centranum’s system is built on well-researched behavioral models, validated performance concepts and evidence-based measurement tools to help clients more readily meet their strategic and business objectives.

IRI partners with each client to enable them to take full advantage of the Centranum system. IRI helps:
- Identify performance outcomes in support of business objectives
- Select appropriate Centranum modules
- Design and execute a culturally appropriate implementation strategy
- Support ongoing implementation scaled to the size and needs of the client
The Centranum talent management system differs from others in several critical respects.
| Centranum Talent Management System |
Other Systems |
| Flexible. Fully adaptable to the cultural and process needs of any organization |
Inflexible. Forces client to adjust to its configuration requirements. |
| Bottom-up. Focuses on job function as the driver of expected employee performance, and then aligns individual performance with organizational goals and objectives. |
Top-down. Focuses on organizational objectives and drives performance down through the hierarchy, which limits opportunities for team and matrix feedback. |
| Outcome-focused. Uses the desired outcomes from each employee role to drive work processes |
Process-focused. Uses employee’s work processes to drive outcomes from each role |
| Full Integration. Uses an employee database to capture all employee data and performance information and enable full integration of all people-management activities. Documents are printed on-demand. |
Limited Integration. Uses pre-designed forms to capture all employee data and performance information. This can limit full integration of people-management activities. |
