Description

Talent and organisation management

A vague familiarity with “Talent and organisation management” is no longer enough. This belongs with People, brand and influence. You hold talent, labour dialogue, a crisis, the commercial line or a customer. People are hired to decide, not just to name the topic. This AEES certification is for professionals, managers and leaders who want to decide an appointment, judge a move and hold an organisation. No diploma is required. What is required is a working command of written French, and the will to show the subject on a real file, in a company, a public body or a partner organisation.

You are not joining a long degree. You take “Talent and organisation management” seriously enough to use it, and seriously enough for someone else to read it on a file. Everything happens online, around a job you already have. You prepare if you need to, then you sit a professional assessment. The AEES Executive Certificate, if it is issued, is proof in your name, and it can be checked. It holds in a CV, a move or a cooperation. It is a short specialisation, issued by a higher-education institution. You see at once what you are buying: a targeted title, not a course catalogue.

Afterwards you can carry “Talent and organisation management” into a team, a file or a new responsibility, and explain your choices to a manager, a funder or a partner institution. Others will see that you can decide an appointment, judge a move and hold an organisation, including outside your own organisation. If you succeed, AEES issues an AEES Executive Certificate in your name, with a unique serial number that can be checked in the public register. The award stays in your workspace. It shows a professional judgement you have demonstrated, useful for a CV, a new post or work in common.

Preparation included

To prepare for the assessment

After purchase, a preparatory course is available: 6 written modules, without an instructor, at your own pace. You are not required to follow it before opening the assessment. Each module sets out the notions, a commented case, the points to keep and a FAQ. It covers Role, Appointment, Gap and Move.

When you are ready, you enter the assessment: a file already open, incomplete facts, conflicting views. You move through successive decisions. This is not a full taught programme with pedagogical supervision.

Structured written course

Notions, objectives and concrete examples, organised progressively.

Applied case

A commented professional situation to anchor the theory.

FAQ and preparation

Frequent doubts, then questions to go further on your own.

  1. AEES Executive Certificate (Talent and Organisation Management: Module 1 of 6) Role A title is a label. A role is a promise to deliver value. Module 1 trains you to describe what a post must deliver, which decisions it owns, and how it connects to others. You will capture that promise in a one-page role charter that any manager, HR partner, or successor can use the next day. When roles are defined by activities or prestige, gaps appear. Work gets duplicated. Boxes overlap. People are appointed for yesterday’s job, or moved without a clear handover. This module focuses on outcomes, interfaces, and decision rights so that your organisation can appoint, move, and prepare people with less noise and more accountability.
  2. Appointment Appointment decisions are leverage points. They can unlock a market, rescue a program or steady an operation. They can also drain a team, create gaps or entrench a bias if handled as favors or habits. This module gives you a compact, repeatable way to appoint a person for a stake, not to please. You will translate a business stake into role requirements, design the evidence you need, and weigh options with explicit criteria. You will decide who decides when boxes overlap, and you will set the transition so that the original post is not left empty. Each step is practical and can be executed in days, not months.
  3. Module 3, Gap: Handling Under-performance before it Spoils the Team Under-performance is not just an individual problem. If left unaddressed, it sets a new low bar for effort and quality, strains high performers, and confuses decision rights. Addressing a gap is therefore both a people duty and an operating necessity. The earlier you spot and handle it, the more options you keep, including constructive support, practical moves, and clean exits when needed. This module gives you a direct method. You will learn how to separate capability from conduct, how to gather objective evidence, how to run the first conversation, and how to choose a route that makes business sense. You will also learn how to protect the rest of the team while you do it. The approach is designed for managers who have full agendas. It focuses on decisions, not theory.
  4. Module 4: Move a talent without emptying the original post Mobility is often the fastest way to unlock value from your people. You see an opportunity, you have a capable person who can seize it, and time matters. The friction appears the moment you try to release that person. Their current post still has customers, deadlines, controls, and implicit knowledge that keeps things running. This module gives you a practical way to move a talent without creating a vacuum. You will quantify the work that must remain covered, choose the right coverage model, phase the release, and secure the handover of knowledge. You will also set decision rights when boxes overlap and align stakeholders who feel the impact. Throughout, you will use simple tools you can run in a spreadsheet and a calendar, supported by a few standard concepts that cross companies and sectors.
  5. AEES Executive Certificate, Module 5: Organisation Overlaps exist in any organisation that must serve multiple priorities at once. Product lines cross regions, shared services support business units, and programs span functions. These overlaps are not a design flaw. They are how you get scale and responsiveness at the same time. The problem starts when two or more boxes believe they own the same decision. People escalate late, meetings multiply, and customers feel the friction. This module gives you a concrete way to decide who decides, to document it, and to hold people to it. You will learn how to describe a decision before you assign it, because roles are easier to split than decisions. We separate accountabilities from contributions, and we give each decision a home, an owner, contributors, and an escalation path. We use simple artefacts you can write in an hour and use for a year. The aim is not to make a perfect chart. It is to reduce ambiguity that slows delivery and increases risk.
  6. Module 6, Succession: Prepare the next person before the crisis Succession is not a name on a slide. It is the discipline of keeping the organisation stable when people move, resign, fall ill, or the strategy shifts. In operational terms, it means you know which roles you must protect, who can step in at different time horizons, and what development and knowledge transfer each person needs to be ready. It also means you have clear decision triggers that activate a replacement process before a crisis escalates. Good succession work avoids two traps: false certainty and improvised heroics. False certainty is the belief that one designated successor solves the problem. In reality, plans fail if the person is not available, if the job evolves, or if the context changes. Improvised heroics look like last-minute calls, rushed appointments, and a trail of disruption. The antidote is a system with redundancy, evidence, and rehearsal. You do not predict the future. You build options and shorten the time to a sound decision.
