TXP 101: What is a talent experience platform?

Karthik Suri

Chief Product Officer, Cornerstone

HR leaders are grappling with the massive transformation taking place in the talent space. Changes in how we work, learn and connect have created an urgent need for a holistic approach to finding, growing and retaining talent.

Although learning and talent management products have swiftly evolved in the past two decades, silos among HR technology solutions still hinder progress. As one CHRO described it to us, "We seem to know more about a talent the day we hire them than we do a year after," pointing to the litany of disparate systems that the HR team navigates through the course of managing their talent lifecycle. On the other hand, using a monolithic system blocks you from taking advantage of all the innovation in the HR tech space.

Talent Experience Platforms, or TXPs for short, have emerged on the HR tech scene in recent years to break down these silos and better position organisations and employees for meaningful growth.

But the fact of the matter is that many still need clarification on what a TXP actually is and why it's an imperative tool to implement in this new era of work.

Well, we're here to help clear up any confusion!

The first step is understanding the fundamentals. Here are some common TXP questions I hear from HR leaders.

What exactly is a TXP?

In simple terms, a TXP is a set of solutions that helps organisations manage, grow and retain the talent within their organisation. It connects learning and performance to talent management, skills management, career growth opportunities and insightful analytics. More than simply a product, it's a platform of integrated products that enable a holistic approach to uniting learning with growth opportunities.

As employees continue to expect tailored career guidance and organisations look to build business-critical skills, a TXP becomes the key to keeping employees engaged and preparing them — and the business — for the future of work. In short, TXP propels your business, talent strategy and outcomes.

How is the TXP different from an LMS and an LXP?

At its core, an LMS, or Learning Management System, helps teams offer, assign and keep records of required training. Although features and functionality have evolved, the LMS remains centered around the administrator's management of formal learning to meet the needs of the business. On the flip side, an LXP, or learning experience platform, is centered around the employee, self-directing learning and learning in the community. A good LXP provides personalised learning recommendations based on the learners' goals, facilitates learning with others and enables continuous skill development — all in a highly personalised and engaging way, much like Netflix, Spotify or Prime video. 

A TXP becomes the platform that beautifully weaves the best of both, bridging talent and learning management with performance and growth opportunities centered around skills. In the case of Cornerstone, our best-in-class learning and performance meet personalised growth opportunities to deliver business outcomes.

What is the main HR issue a TXP addresses?

A TXP enables HR teams to truly unlock their organisation's potential by leveraging technology that elevates growth and engagement opportunities for their people. At the same time, a TXP helps businesses make critical decisions about their talent, predict needs, fill gaps and automate processes, all driving business outcomes.

Additionally, because HR departments have historically relied on several different tools and vendors for this type of functionality, a TXP integrates all of these tools in a seamless, interoperable way. It acts as an intelligent connector for these disparate tools and data, giving HR leaders the full context, insights and visibility they need to implement impactful talent programs.

How do I know if my organisation is ready for a TXP?

Every organisation is different, but many of our customers knew they needed a TXP's holistic approach when they experienced a persistent misalignment between talent strategy and business outcomes.

For example, an organisation has a business goal to improve employee retention by 15%. But talent leaders couldn't quickly map skills to performance and identify which employees had developed the skills to satisfy internal mobility and career growth opportunities. This lack of connection often leads to employee turnover. It's time to consider a change if talent leaders can't easily streamline learning, talent management and people intelligence.
