In a mining company, would you rather be a mine truck or a mine engineer?

People = Precious Resource?

In a petrochemical company, would you rather be a drilling rig or a petroleum engineer?

In the U.S. Navy, is the supply chain for talent or for rivets more sophisticated?

“R * I * S * K”A 4-Letter Word In Talent Management?

• What Level of Work Performance Will We See?• Will Talent Capacity Fit Future Conditions?• How Variable is the Quantity and Quality of Talent in 

Our Pipeline?

The Logic of “Critical” Talent

• What do HR stakeholders define as “critical” talent?• If you asked 15 stakeholders “where would improving talent 10% make the biggest difference to our ggstrategy” What would they say?

• What do stakeholders define as “critical” supply‐chain or manufacturing processes?

• If you asked 15 stakeholders “where would improving

Should You “Hedge” Leadership Risk?

Ontario Power Generation's blue-chip directors could have been voted "least likely to screw up" .... And yet, they did.

The original 1999 cost estimate of $1.1-billion <to refurbish the Pickering A Nuclear Plant> is now $3-billion to $4-billion. From

1999, the board approved 11 cost overruns and 13 delays,

Most of the utility’s recent directors were recruitedin the 1990s to help privatize OPG, with

p psolid financing experience for the IPO, which never occurred.

None had nuclear expertise.

Talent Sourcing and “Supply Chain”

• What do HR stakeholders consider the “right” amount of time to fill open requisitions for talent?

• What is the “right” level of employee surpluses?g p y p• What is the “right” level of employee shortages?

What do HR stakeholders consider the “right” amount of time to fill open orders for products or materials?

What is the “right” level of raw materials or unfinished

Applying the Supply-Chain Concept

• IBM’s Global Workforce Initiative– Demand signals must be clear through the chain– Get the language of the work down to 100 roles.  HR “owns” the work dictionary

– Make the project demand signals transparent to managers, employees, contractors, recruiters and vendors

• Valero Oil– Measure all talent sources on cost, quantity and quality

© 2011 John Boudreau 17

– Embed supply‐chain logic in the measurement system– Automate decisions by routing requisitions to the sources that have been the best performers

– Combine multiple quality measures to find inflection points

Inventory Logic Retools Talent Management

Inventory Optimization Question Talent Management Question

How many orders should we place in a time period?

How many times should we initiate a talent‐building cycle (hire, train, develop)?

What is the optimal shortage to allow, if we can back‐order replacements?

What is the optimal employee vacancy level to allow if we can hire after the vacancy appears?

What is the optimal order quantity and cycle considering lead‐time?

What is the optimal talent‐buildingquantity and cycle (hire, train, develop) considering how long it takes from start to finish?

If our ordering costs were lower how If the costs of building or acquiring talent

If our ordering costs were lower, how much more frequently should we place orders, and what is the new optimal inventory level?

If the costs of building or acquiring talent were lower, how much more frequently would we initiate a cycle?  How much more surplus or shortage would we tolerate?
