Radical Advice for Reinventing Talent--and HR
Most executives today recognize the competitive advantage of human
capital, and yet the talent practices their organizations use are stuck
in the twentieth century.
Typical talent-planning and HR processes are designed for predictable
environments, traditional ways of getting work done, and organizations
where "lines and boxes" still define how people are managed. As work and
organizations have become more fluid--and business strategy is no longer
about planning years ahead but about sensing and seizing new
opportunities and adapting to a constantly changing
environment--companies must deploy talent in new ways to remain
competitive.
Turning conventional views on their heads, talent and leadership experts
Ram Charan, Dominic Barton, and Dennis Carey provide leaders with a new
and different playbook for acquiring, managing, and deploying
talent--for today's agile, digital, analytical, technologically driven
strategic environment--and for creating the HR function that business
needs. Filled with examples of forward-thinking companies that have
adopted radical new approaches to talent (such as ADP, Amgen, BlackRock,
Blackstone, Haier, ING, Marsh, Tata Communications, Telenor, and Volvo),
as well as the juggernauts and the startups of Silicon Valley, this book
shows leaders how to bring the rigor that they apply to financial
capital to their human capital--elevating HR to the same level as
finance in their organizations.
Providing deep, expert insight and advice for what needs to change and
how to change it, this is the definitive book for reimagining and
creating a talent-driven organization that wins.
