3 Lessons I learned from PMAP's Conference
Sunday, September 16, 2012
I love events managed by others or by us. PMAP’s Conference
in Cebu is a great one with over 1,300 attendees and a lot of spectacular speakers
and content - what you have is a spectacular event.
Here are three concepts that made a tattoo in my mind.
1. Human Capital Management remains an effective science for Human
Resources
A term used for economic purposes, it is still one of the
key concepts of the modern age as we move towards knowledge economy.
The difference in the past and in the present, Human Capital
Management is measured in different metrics and aided by an advance technology
companies are able to pinpoint areas that Human Capital can be developed to reach its full potential.
I say wow even if the technology can only be afforded by big
and medium companies, the potential to make people pursue further growth is immense.
In the science of resource allocation developing human capital becomes the
first priority of the organization who wants to compete and lead the race in
their industry.
2. Talent Management needs to be further
amplified
The “War for Talent” heats up in the business industry as
competition becomes crazy. Talent Management supports the Human Capital
Management. One of which is to retain talents that are crucial to the
continuing success of the organization.
It seems big words but talent management is crucial most
especially now that organizations are dealing with Millenials or Gen Y talents
who carry a different culture from past talents and generations.
Talent Management is crucial in order to capture true
talents and in order to minimize the number of “hoppers” in the organization.
3. Innovation is everyone's responsibility
This
is no longer a responsibility of research and development, Innovation is also a
responsibility of the Human Resources Department. I have heard a lot of
discussions about this topic from the conference, I say the case studies are
quite impressive, some ideas I am taking into our organization for
implementation.
Of
course, the learnings are not the only thing I went there, I observed the
process of the conference, gain a few friends, and gain a few pounds (LOL!). Most
importantly, I went back to Cebu to experience again the hospitality and warm
smile of the Cebuanos.
