About This Constellation ShortList™

With close to 750 million people living in Europe, double the amount of North America, the European talent management market reached a notable size. It features some unique characteristics. For instance, the unfavorable aging dynamics in many European coun- tries increase the competition for talent and require a new approach for talent management best practices. At the same time, European legislative bodies are not standing still when it comes to regulations, especially privacy-related legislations, including the effects and rami- fications of GDPR. All of this creates a unique breeding ground and market for talent management in Europe, where European-based CxOs look for local vendors that understand these dynamics.

Artificial Intelligence is changing enterprise automation substantially and HCM is no exception. Vendors need to have enabled AI based automation in at least three of the five key HCM automation areas – with tangible success. To enable customers to uptake AI as well, vendors need to upgrade their Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) capabilities with respect to AI.
