ATD's Talent Development Capability Model is a framework to guide the TD profession in what practitioners need to know and do to develop themselves, others, and their organizations. It is a blueprint for impact.
More than 3,000 professionals participated in research that identified the 23 capabilities needed for success, which are part of the model. These include expected capabilities such as instructional design and training delivery, as well as newer capabilities, including data analytics, emotional intelligence, and decision-making.
The two certification programs from ATD Certification Institute, the APTD and CPTD, are grounded in the Capability Model. The certification exams cover a subset of knowledge and skills from the model.
The TDBoK™ Guide: Talent Development Body of Knowledge, second edition, is a comprehensive collection of TD concepts, definitions, methodologies, and examples that lays the foundation and guiding principles for those who develop talent in the workplace. The TDBoK Guide offers a deep dive into the 23 key capability areas outlined within the Talent Development Capability Model™, the framework that tells talent development (TD) practitioners what they need to know and do to develop themselves, others, and their organizations. Created by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), this reference sets the gold standard for the learning and talent development profession.
