Why Camden Delta

Initially Camden Delta was engaged to discuss and design sales compensation alternatives to support the new strategic design of the business development function. Recognizing that sales compensation was only one “people process” required to enable a total sales talent transformation, Camden Delta proposed a talent management solution to address sales force competency development, sales talent assessment and selection into the redesigned and restructured organization.

Business leaders quickly appreciated the business-focused outcomes and case presented by Camden Delta, understood the approach and gave the approval to move forward.
