Case Study: Prudential Financial achieves global talent identification and streamlined succession planning with Lumesse

Prudentials Talent Management Programme Identifies Raw Talent and High Potentials to Support Global Expansion

Prudential Plc, a global financial services group with around 23,000 employees and fast-growing operations in Asia, needed to identify, retain and develop leaders to support international expansion. The company was also transforming its HR function and building a global talent warehouse for succession planning, but relied on slow, error-prone Excel-based processes that left talent data out of date and hindered cross-border visibility.

Prudential selected Lumesse’s Talent Management solution — a web-hosted, configurable system with global coverage and robust security — to capture and share talent profiles, skills and career aspirations across the Group. Launched in late 2006, the system enabled self-service profile updates, flexible reporting and stronger succession planning, freeing HR to focus on analysis rather than data collection, raising talent management on the strategic agenda and delivering immediate operational and IT wins.
