TalentSplit's New Initiative to Foster Innovation and Talent Development
TalentSplit, a leading organization in connecting technical talent with opportunities in the U.S., has announced the launch of its groundbreaking initiative,
Innovation is Love™. This innovative collaboration framework aims to unite various sectors including education, government, community, and industry to enhance national productivity through effective talent development.
The Objective of Innovation is Love™
The core vision behind Innovation is Love™ is to facilitate a cohesive approach toward developing talent across the nation. By aligning citizens, educational institutions, governmental bodies, and businesses, TalentSplit is working towards a unified standard of skill development, shared support, and consistent execution throughout the innovation process. The ultimate goal? To elevate national productivity across all sectors by enhancing our personal and collective development and bolstering our communities.
Drawing Inspiration from Youth Sports
Innovation is Love™ adopts principles from the realm of sports—specifically the U.S. youth soccer development model—to create pathways that are predictable, measurable, and scalable. This approach aims to cultivate technical confidence and capabilities among individuals while also reinforcing the overall capacity within their communities.
Mike Gentile, the mastermind behind Innovation is Love™ and CEO of CyberForward Academy, emphasizes that while there exist various development systems in academia, business, and government, none have seamlessly operated across these domains with a talent-centric focus. With the introduction of Innovation is Love™, TalentSplit seeks to fill this gap and foster a more integrated developmental ecosystem.
Core Components of Innovation is Love™
TalentSplit's framework consists of several essential components designed to enhance technical proficiency and productivity:
1. Proficiency Intelligence™
Proficiency Intelligence™ offers a comprehensive and user-friendly system to assess technical capabilities within the ecosystem. Mirroring how a soccer player's individual performance contributes to a team's overall score, this component utilizes CyberForward Academy's Tech Proficiency Score (TPS)℠ to provide individuals with clear insights into their technical performance and progress. Armed with this knowledge, participants can make informed decisions regarding their skill development.
2. Proficiency Standards™
Proficiency Standards™ establish a uniform set of guidelines for curricula, work environments, and service delivery across the ecosystem. This ensures consistency akin to all teams playing by the same rules on appropriately sized fields. By aligning educational institutions, businesses, and organizations under these shared standards, TalentSplit is fostering a reliable and scalable development framework.
3. Proficiency Centers™
Proficiency Centers™ are innovative hubs where aspiring individuals can learn, practice, and provide services in real-time, leveraging a standardized framework. These centers, much like soccer stadiums and training grounds, facilitate a conducive environment for participants to apply their skills, receive feedback, and grow their capabilities through hands-on experiences.
4. Proficiency Stories™
Proficiency Stories™ serve as a medium to document individuals' journeys in building and applying technical skills in real-world situations. Similar to watching highlights of professional games or youth competitions, these narratives offer practical insights into how proficiency evolves into innovation, emphasizing human-centered approaches.
Conclusion
With Innovation is Love™, TalentSplit is pioneering a new era of collaboration and talent development in the United States. By integrating educational standards and creating avenues for real-world application, this initiative promises to unlock the potential of individuals and communities alike, ultimately leading to a stronger national economy.
