Part One: Individual Essay (35% of mark)

Learning and Talent Development in practice is very much focused on two specific strategies: knowledge management and talent management. It is therefore important that practitioners are aware of the theory and critical issues surrounding these types of strategies. Choose either knowledge management OR talent management and

1) discuss its conceptual and theoretical foundations, and

2) the critical issues that practitioners should be aware of when implementing this type of strategy.

You should draw upon relevant, up-to-date research, theory, and evidence to inform your answer.
