Value Networks for Talent Managers and HR

[Fran]

The annual Future of Talent retreat was last week. There is a nice
candid photo of the group on the Community page at www.openvaluenetworks.com.
Verna Allee attended and has blogged about it and about preparing for
role-based work, at http://valuenetworks.com/public/item/243422.

From the blog:

In the interest of creating a level playing field for job applicants
talent managers have been caught in a tight squeeze to meet the
changing demands of the workplace. Agile resource allocation is
essential for success, yet at the same time there must be transparency
and fairness in how people are deployed... Most HR and ERP systems
(and even performance review systems) are designed to support one
worker holding only one job. Yet, today’s knowledge worker plays
multiple roles in an organization... Without a systematic way of
defining and managing roles, the coordinating costs – and risks – are
considerable. What are the real costs of trying to resource the many
roles that are required in a company and how can fairness and
transparency be assured?
