Abstract
Talent management is crucial for companies in the current business context, and yet, one of its components, talent development, remains largely under-researched. In this paper, we explore the relevance of an experiential learning method, namely codevelopment, as a novel talent development practice. Codevelopment aims to improve one's own professional practice by helping peers to enhance their own practice in turn. Based on a case study in a multinational bank, our results show codevelopment to be a parallel resourcing space that offsets certain organizational pressures, thereby offering valuable individual, group and organizational benefits. As an original talent development practice, codevelopment can also contribute to counterbalancing some of the downsides to talent management.

Résumé
La gestion des talents est cruciale pour les organisations, et pourtant, l’une de ses composantes, le développement des talents, reste sous-étudiée. Nous explorons la pertinence d’une méthode d’apprentissage expérientiel, à savoir le codéveloppement, en tant que nouvelle pratique de développement des talents. Le codéveloppement vise à améliorer sa pratique professionnelle en aidant ses pairs à améliorer leur propre pratique. Sur la base d’une étude de cas dans une banque multinationale, nos résultats montrent que le codéveloppement constitue un espace de ressourcement qui compense certaines pressions organisationnelles, offrant ainsi des avantages pour l’individu, le groupe et l’organisation. En tant que pratique originale de développement des talents, le codéveloppement peut également contribuer à contrebalancer certains effets négatifs de la gestion des talents.
