Talent acquisition and business development: rethinking in action

Anthony Haynes writes: In a previous episode, we reviewed a business podcast that made a big impression on us - Drew McLellan's Build a Better Agency. We mentioned that we liked the thinking on business development ('bizdev'), particularly the ideas explained in Drew's interview with Dan Englander.

Here we explain how we used the ideas from Build  a better agency to transform our approach to bizdev at FJ Wilson Talent Services.

The topics we cover include (a) team structure and roles, (b) time allocation, (c) processes, (d) the harnessing of team members' talents, and (e) the development of commercial acumen throughout the organisation.
