William Schiemann on Reinventing Talent Management
Getting tactical with measuring and managing the human side of business.
October 2, 2009 / Podcast # 09-40
Over the past 10 or so years talent management has become something of an HR hurrah term. The extent to which all the hubbub has led to tangible results is quite another issue. Dr. William Schiemann’s Reinventing Talent Management: How to Maximize Performance in the New Marketplace aims to put a tight process and discipline of measurement behind the annual report cliché that “Our people are our most important asset.” At the heart of Dr. Schiemann’s thesis is a provocative new talent management model he terms People Equity.
William Schiemann is Chief Executive Officer of Metrus Group. Dr. Schiemann and his colleagues have consulted extensively with many major corporations on the development and implementation of business strategies. He is coauthor of Bullseye! Hitting Your Strategic Targets Through High-Impact Measurement. He’s also written extensively for many publications including Across the Board, Journal of Business Strategy, Management Review and Quality Progress.
