“Talent Master” Book Monthly Tuning: Measuring Human Capital in Digital Way Nov. 2016

Human Capital is about potential, if unleashed, can bring the quantum leap in the business growth, and societal advancement.

People are always the most invaluable asset in businesses. “Hiring the right person to the right position at the right time,” is the mantra of many forward-thinking organizations. The question is how would you define the right people? How do you define wrong, average, mediocre, good, great or extraordinary person? Or put simply, for what should they be right? Traditional Performance Management focusing on measuring what an employee does (mainly being told to do) in a quantitative way is not sufficient to identify high performance or high potential, should we see through talent from different angles, and how to manage and measure talent in a digital way?

What products (tangible or otherwise) are creative? Where does that creativity arise from? And what acts, behaviors etc. may be examples of the organizational creative process? What risks are associated with creativity not being manifested in the workplace? How might you see a creativity employee?
