 OPTION 1:
You have been asked to make technological recommendations for a talent management system.  You will first evaluate your current organization (or one you are interested in working with) and evaluate their current system and/or process to include what works well and areas needing improvement.  Using class resources as well as an Internet search, locate a program that you will recommend to meet the needs of your organization and, of course, justify your selection, addressing how it will fit the organization’s needs and goals.
 OPTION 2:
Locate, identify, and discuss a minimum of 3 trends in talent management technology.  Describe in detail what these trends are, the pros and cons, and how it could affect your organization.  Also include recommendations on how your organization should respond to these trends.
OPTION 3:
