Abstract: Far too often, vital decisions about talent and how it is organized are addressed with very limited measures or with faulty logic. In most organizations leaders approach them with far less rigor than questions about other resources, such as money, customers, and technology. Logical frameworks can help leaders both inside and outside of HR to understand the connections between human capital and organizational effectiveness. Based on the assumption that HR measurement is valuable only to the extent that it improves vital decisions about talent and how it is organized, this workshop will present logical frameworks that drive sound strategic decisions about talent. More specifically, the workshop will enable participants to do the following:
  • Use the LAMP model (logic, analytics, measures, process) as a framework for driving organizational change
  • Present detailed company examples of firms that practice “management by measurement”
  • Explain how their firms create value from human capital
  • Use data in areas such as the costs of employee absenteeism and turnover, or the benefits of valid staffing and training programs, to improve decisions about talent
  • Identify pivotal talent pools in their organizations where investments in people yield the greatest impacts on strategically important outcomes
