The Talent Revolution

Revolutions are an important part of history that have transformed society and economies time and time again.  Think about it …..

French Revolution                                                1789 - 1799
American Revolution                                          1812 -  1815
Second Industrial Revolution                         1870 - 1900
Computer Revolution                                         1948 – 1988
Talent Management Revolution                     2010 - 2019

They all had a significant triggering event that rallied unrelated people to rise up and accomplish great things. Another wave of Revolution is happening around us today.  The great global recession of 2008 – 2009 has shaken our financial institutions as millions of employees have lost their jobs and homes.  This recession has everyone rethinking who they can trust, when they can retire and how they will earn a living. 

The Talent Management Revolution is a proactive response to this triggering event.  It is a call to action that we predict will last about 10 years for 2010 to 2019.

The Talent Management Revolution is about change. Your business could be missing out on thousands, millions, or even billions, in cost savings by not properly managing your Human Capital Supply Chain in a holistic way. It is time for your organization to rise out of complacency and to formalize your Human Capital Supply Chain Management program.

Most companies don’t really understand their total cost of human capital. You may have partial visibility into the costs, but you probably have blind spots and those blind spots add up to huge amounts of excess expenses. It requires commitment and coordination with your executive team to address some tough issues. It is not for the faint of heart. It is for those willing to jump feet first into the trenches, and knock down the walls between HR, procurement, staffing suppliers and employees.

The Talent Management Revolution is about the complexity of tying together the people, processes and technology that will finally streamline your Human Capital Supply Chain Management process. It’s about bringing HR and Procurement together for maximum efficiency.  It’s about the entire team having the same “corporate speak” concerning just-in-time talent delivery goals and quality measurements. It’s about defining your optimal strategic talent mix between full-timers, part-timers, temps, contractors and consultants.

The Talent Management Revolution is about NEW strategic thinking ……

The Talent Management Revolution is about uniting your executive, HR and procurement teams together with a common cause…..

The Talent Management Revolution is about starting to build your integrated Human Capital Supply Chain …..

Are you up for the challenge and willing to take up the cause?
