...The Tipping Point for Talent Management HRM 532 August 20, 2011 The Tipping Point for Talent Management Discuss how the economic environment has influenced the need for talent management practices. The current economic environment has influenced the need for talent managenment practices through the need of cultiviating current talent rather than hiring new employees. The need of practicing talent management is needed more today than ever because the encominc status of many business, the economic environment obliges that the productivity of existing workers amplify before new headcount is measured. Organizational expansion has converted from the number of talent to the value of talent. “In order to truly enable innovation and get rid of the band-aids that have been put in place during the "storm," companies must ensure that they have "A" players on board.” (“Economy,” 2011). As businesses hunt for new ways of improving workforce efficiency, talent management has become a fundamental component in launching a human capital management environment. Offering enormous business value, talent management is complex and continually evolving. Influenced by external factors such as the economy, global expansion and mergers and acquisitions, critical success factors for effective talent management include alignment with strategic goals, active CEO participation and HR management. Discuss how globalization has contributed to the tipping point for talent management practices. Globalization...

...The tipping point for talent management Human Capital Institute | www.humancapitalinstitute.orgNo Comments In Malcolm Gladwell’s book, an innovation or change can suddenly appear through small, almost incremental steps, none of which by itself is especially noteworthy. But the combination of these seemingly minor events can cause organizations to be shaken, countries to be impacted and people to break out of established behavioral patterns. What could not be accomplished in one grand wave of the baton is, in fact, being accomplished by different pieces of the puzzle coming together at just the right time. We are in the midst of such a sea change in the field of talent management. This new approach to managing companies and people has not yet become a clearly articulated science. There is still too much to understand and learn about the shifts occurring before us. But there is an emerging set of practices – especially as evidenced by industry-leading companies – that are moving talent management to its tipping point The changing business context The current economic environment sets the foundation for the reason that talent management practices have arisen in the first place. Bossidy and Charan (2004) have identified five different economic stages that have existed during the past century. Others have talked more generally about the movement from agrarian to industrial to the knowledge economy. Pink (2005) describes the next step as moving from the knowledge age to the conceptual...

...The research conducted can be best described as a qualitative, descriptive methodology. While certain data provided a quantitative aspect to this research, it is noted, and stressed by the author, that this research is based on a qualitative methodology 60 Individuals within the research sample were all local and were readily available for questioning. The qualitative nature, small research area and research sampling implies that this research is neither fully complete, nor is it authoritative. Thus the research provides the reader with implications and possibilities as opposed to facts and truths. The researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the data retrieved from the semi-structured interviews. Very simple quantitative analysis and associated methods were applied. For example, if concrete data, numerical information is retrieved in meaningful amounts a quantitative analysis will be conducted. Conceivably, an interviewee may be aware of KM measures (cost savings, increased efficiencies) that impact the study that the researcher is currently unaware of. An example might be that X BDE from Y DIV saved a certain amount of money as a result of a KM initiative. A more appropriate measure might be tied to a training organization, such as a basic training unit, reporting increased transfer of training as a result of a KM initiative. Again, it is unlikely that quantitative data will be gleaned from the semi-structured interviews. An initial research assumption, which the researcher...

...The Need for a Sustainable Business Model Introduction Ten months may very well be a trend. A couple of years could be an aberration. Ten years however means it is time for a change. Since 2004 the manufacturing industry has seen some ups and downs, however more specifically to the firm, it has been a continuous down. The time is now to reverse that trend, and it starts with a new culture of sustainability. There is money to be made, and there is money to be saved. Under the circumstances of having little financial flexibility for investment and development, prioritizing the saving is paramount. Cutting down costs across the board, whether they are resources, expenses in travel, as well as energy, will serve to be prudent both short and long term alike. Furthermore, positioning the company as a leader in the market of sustainability, as an organization that is forward thinking, changes everything. Systemic and cultural changes will not only alter perception in the market place, but bottom line long-term concrete profitability. Companies worldwide have made this a focus, investing both time and money in strategies that address the competitive landscape shaped by resource scarcity, regulatory uncertainty and economic volatility. (MIT Sloan, 2012) No longer a buzzword, this is moving to the market norm. It is time to embrace it and begin to reap the reward. This is not only a strong strategic business case, it is imperative to compete. Hurdles The arguments...

...Skelton Blue Ocean Strategy Paper A blue ocean strategy can be described as the ability to create uncontested market space and render the competition obsolete. This strategy provides a systematic way to unlock the ocean of unrealized talent, opportunities, and energy within an organization quickly and at a low cost. It can achieve all of this from a management standpoint while preserving time and efficiency. The aim of a blue ocean strategy is not to out-perform the competition in the existing industry, but to create new market space or a blue ocean, thereby making the competition irrelevant. While innovation has been seen as a random/experimental process where entrepreneurs and spin-offs are the primary drivers this strategy offers systematic and reproducible methodologies and processes in pursuit of blue oceans by both new and existing firms. Frameworks and tools within blue ocean strategies are designed to be visual in order to not only effectively build the collective wisdom of a business but also to allow for effective strategy execution through easy communication. Blue ocean strategies cover both strategy formulation and strategy execution. The three key conceptual building blocks of blue ocean strategy are: value innovation, tipping point leadership, and fair process. While competitive strategy is a structuralism theory of strategy where structure shapes strategy, blue ocean strategy is a Reconstructionist theory of strategy where strategy shapes structure. As an integrated...

They wanted to stick to their core values even when the company was expanding to new territories. 3.The company also showed high employee turnover when it was expanding its operations, which was mainly due to lack of proper communication between the middle/higher level managers and the lower level employees. 4. The introduction of “variable pay” was a great step in the direction of improving performance but it was not properly supported or backed with a good means to support this change. Infosys did not properly communicate the concept to the employees that a section of the employees were sceptical about the company’s intentions. 5. The broad-banding policy that was a leap towards a role based organization again was a tipping point at which employees’ dissatisfaction and discontent at Infosys reached its peak. RECOMMENDATIONS ARRIVED AT 1. Understanding the very fact that work was becoming monotonous and repeatable, lacking any fun or creativity, the HR team attempted to address this discontent by making the workplace more fun and meaningful. Aware of the fact that most of the employees...

Coaching and mentoring are development techniques based on the use of one-to-one discussions to enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge or work performance. It is possible to draw distinctions between coaching and mentoring (as discussed below) although in practice the two terms are often used interchangeably. While the focus of this factsheet is on coaching, much of the analysis presented here is also applicable to mentoring.

We have already experienced a decade of progress in digitizing medical records, as pharmaceutical companies and other organizations aggregate years of research and development data in electronic databases. The federal government and other public stakeholders have also accelerated the move toward transparency by making decades of stored data usable, searchable, and actionable by the healthcare sector as a whole. Together, these increases in data liquidity have brought the industry to the tipping point. Healthcare stakeholders now have access to promising new threads of knowledge. This information is a form of “big data,” so called not only for its sheer volume but for its complexity, diversity, and timeliness.1 Pharmaceutical-industry experts, payors, and providers are now...

Cohen is Founder and Principal for the Strategic Learning Collaborative and was formerly Senior Vice President of Global Solutions for Right Management's Lead and Develop Center of Excellence. He is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and can be reached at steve@strategicleadershipcollaborative.com. Abstract Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to conduct a global literature review and develop a viewpoint on the most critical success factors required to develop a global leadership mindset. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes the form of a global literature review and the author's viewpoint. Findings – Global leadership development must be driven by an organization's global business strategy. Having “global” experiences at work does not guarantee effective global leadership. The acquisition of a true global mindset enables leadership effectiveness in a global capacity. As cultural and business complexity increase so does the demand for a global mindset, almost exponentially given the intersect of this complex environment. Practical implications – Methods for global leadership development include examination, education, experience and exposure. Originality/value – The paper provides a fresh perspective.
