This report, prepared for Unit 6 of a Business Project module, investigates the key blockages and challenges in talent management within the manufacturing sector, specifically focusing on Aston Martin. The project begins with an introduction outlining the significance of talent management and the rationale for the research. Task 1 establishes the aims, objectives, and research questions, followed by a literature review examining obstacles such as unsafe working conditions and difficulties in attracting skilled labor. A project management plan is developed, considering factors like time, quality, risk, resources, communication, and cost. A Gantt chart and work breakdown structure are also included to visualize the project timeline and activities. Task 2 involves small-scale quantitative research to collect data. Task 3 evaluates the research and data using effective tools and techniques, leading to recommendations based on the data and research analysis. Finally, Task 4 reflects on the value of the project and its contribution to meeting the objectives and the student's learning. The report concludes with references to the sources used.
