Developing a program for HiPo's (High Potentials) can be easy and at the same time, quite challenging. Even if an organisation succeeds in getting to identifying its key talent,etc.,crafting the right development pathway is altogether a different ball game.

A google on hipo development programs does not yield the results it is expected to, though you might stumble upon some consultants advertisements for such programs. A generic training plan is what a lot of us might assume for this purpose however, it is more than that. Research says that 65% of key learning for HiPo's takes place through key assignments while training contributes only 13% of learning. The remaining part of the pie is taken up by nurturing relationships and professional associations.
