Is Talent Driving Value??

In the VUCA world where everyone is talking of #FutureOfWork and trying to anticipate how the human resource horizon will change with the changing business horizons, are we as #HRLeaders forgetting the core of human resource - Talent Value Creation?

Why are we becoming so obsessed with #digital and #technology that we lose focus? look beyond it on how talent can create value, rather let me rephrase the question - Are we aware of how talent is currently creating #Value? Gottacha!

If you have a concrete answer for this question, then the next step for you is to see if your #HR initiatives are in alignment to increasing that value or creating new value zones. If you are doing all this then you are a #HR focussed on Talent-Organization Value creation. Now you can focus on identifying how digital and big data etc can become your enablers. For those who are still searching for a answer to my first question, I would recommend you to look inward first and then outward?

Look inward  - Look at what drives your organization, what's your talent composition, what are your business drivers? How is Business Generated? How is talent contributing to generate that business? This would be your lag indicators, some of you may have already discovered or are in the discovery phase in this journey, its only when you shake yourself up and Question yourself will you get these answers, shake up your team to go to the shopfloor and dig up these answers.

Look Outward - Now once you have understood what drives your talent and how it links to your business, move the lens toward the outside world - customer, products, market, shareholders et all. Study where the value impact happens, it will show up in one place quite strongly, identify what place that is and then that becomes your lead indicator. Now you have linked Talent to Value and it is then that the full realization of #HR value happens. 

Are you CREATING THAT VALUE #HRLEADERS?
