Talent Development Body of Knowledge Print Option
The definitive resource for the talent development profession.
The Talent Development Body of Knowledge (TDBoK) offers a deep dive of the concepts within the Talent Development Capability Model, the framework that tells talent development practitioners what they need to know and do to develop themselves, others, and their organizations. This first-of-its-kind resource for information on the field was developed with more than 60 subject matter expert contributors and incorporates curated perspectives from thousands of publications. The TDBoK gives you the means to define the personal, professional, and organizational impact capabilities required for success—today and in the future.
The Talent Development Capability Model is the foundation for ATD CI’s certification programs, the Associate Professional in Talent Development (APTD) and the Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD). The TDBoK can serve as an important resource for exam preparation.
