I've worked in enough small to mid-sized organization to know the pain of trying to build talent management and leadership development approaches off the side of your desk. Sometimes your team is simply stretched too thin, and sometimes there's simply not enough in the budget to bring in a full-time resource. You might consider consultancies, but their solutions are often far too costly and complicated for smaller organizations. You need someone who actually understands your business, and who can truly work alongside you to create simple and practical solutions that meet your organization where it's at.
If this sounds like you, it may be time to consider fractional Talent Management or Leadership Development support.
