  • Talent Management Strategies for Public Procurement Professionals in Global Organizations
    TALENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR PUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALS IN GLOBAL ORGANIZATIONS Denise Bailey Clark* ABSTRACT. The purpose of this paper is to examine the talent management strategies used for public procurement of professionals in global organizations. Components of talent management is discussed including talent acquisition, strategic workforce planning, competitive total rewards, professional development, performance management, and succession planning. This paper will also survey how the global labor supply is affected by shifting demographics and how these shifts will influence the ability of multinational enterprises (MNEs) to recruit for talent in the emerging global markets. The current shift in demographics plays a critical role in the ability to find procurement talent; therefore, increasing the need to attract, develop, and retain appropriate talent. Department of Defense (DOD) procurement credentialing is used as a case study to gather "sustainability" data that can be applied across all organizations both public and private. This study used a systematic review of current literature to gather information that identifies strategies organizations can use to develop the skills of procurement professionals. Key finding are that is imperative to the survival of any business to understand how talent management strategies influence the ability to attract and sustain qualified personnel procurement professionals. * Denise Bailey Clark is currently a University of Maryland University College (UMUC); Doctorate of Management (DM) candidate (expected 2012). She holds a Master of Arts degree from Bowie State University in Human Resources Development and a Bachelor of Art degree from Towson State University in Business Administration and minor in Psychology.

  • Talent Management in an Ownership Culture by Jon M
    Talent Management in an Ownership Culture By Jon M. Sweigart, Consultant, Praxis Consulting Group, Philadelphia, PA This article first appeared in the February 2015 issue of The ESOP Reporter. Talent management offers a useful strategic framework for organizations serious about developing ownership behaviors across the employee lifecycle. This article describes elements of talent management with emphasis on their connection to ownership culture. Each brief description includes “one bright idea” to stimulate thinking about practical applications. I attended a wedding reception at a country club several years ago. After humorous toasts from the young couple’s wedding party, the bride’s father slowly rose from his chair with a frown and cleared his throat. The laughter stopped. “Over the past couple months, all the talk has been about this wedding,” the bride’s father began. “But I haven’t heard anyone say much about the marriage.” He then lectured the couple (well, mostly his new son-in-law) about what it takes to maintain a marriage long after the wedding is over. Organizations who want to develop an ownership culture can fall into the same “event as relationship” trap the bride’s father warned against. Initial ESOP roll-outs, yearly evaluations, and “ownership week” celebrations stand in for the harder work of developing ownership behaviors as part of a sustained, integrated strategy. Talent management offers a useful strategic framework for organizations serious about developing ownership behaviors across the employee lifecycle. No standard definition of talent management exists, so consider this working definition: a sustained, integrated strategy to attract, engage, develop, and retain talented employees who make significant contributions to business results.

  • Are You Prepared for the Supply Chain Talent Crisis?
    MIT CTL WHITE PAPER ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE SUPPLY CHAIN TALENT CRISIS? BY KEN COTTRILL GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT MIT CENTER FOR TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS FALL 2010 MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics ABSTRACT Supply chain faces a severe shortage of talent at a time when the demands on the profession have never been greater. Globalization, market uncertainty, shifting demographic patterns, and the emergence of supply chain as a strategic function are some of the factors that are driving the skills shortfall. The industry can build an adequate supply of talent in a number of ways, but companies must be more proactive in their approach to recruiting, developing, and retaining the supply chain professionals they need to stay competitive. MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE SUPPLY CHAIN TALENT CRISIS? | 2 Amid one of the deepest recessions ever to hit the United States and with the official unemployment rate approaching 10%, companies should have little difficulty retaining key employees. Why then are supply chain leaders citing talent recruitment and retention as one of their top concerns in 2010 and beyond? We think the Great Recession is partly to blame. The scarcity of job openings caused by the downturn can, paradoxically, engender a false sense of security when it comes to keeping valued employees. Many individuals who show no outward inclination of wanting to change jobs are polishing their résumés and LinkedIn profiles in readiness for the economic turnaround. Moreover, survivors of the downturn have had to learn how to achieve more with less; these skills make them even more attractive to enterprises intent on luring talent with improved compensation packages and appealing career prospects.

In order to address this issue, we base our conceptual development on a theoretical framework used in SCM called the collaborative, planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR) approach. We use this approach to develop a comprehensive model of talent supply chain management (TSCM) that applies concepts related to the field of SCM to managing the development and flow of talent. We further go on to describe how organizations can utilize TSCM to enhance connections with talent suppliers to get their labor demands fulfilled with individuals who have the necessary skills for success. © 2017 Kelley School of Business, Indiana University.
