Ever since the publication of McKinsey’s ‘War for Talent’ research, chief executive officers and business leaders have emphasised the need for their organisations to manage and leverage their human capital by effectively attracting, developing and retaining talent, in line with the organisation’s objectives and direction. The world of business since then has grown, both in size and in complexity. Complex and large projects require 
large teams, which more often than not are diverse both geographically and culturally, and compose of people across a variety of educational backgrounds. Technology today has also made it possible for teams to work together virtually without ever having to have in-person interactions. HR faced a daunting challenge. The need of the hour was to develop HR professionals who were not only skilled in their domain, but would have enough knowledge and expertise to be able to contribute to a marketing manager, or a finance director’s talent management needs at the input level. It was then imperative that the HR function, as it stood in yesteryear, had to relook and revamp its roles to help large and complex organisations in making human capital a key strategic advantage over competitors. From where HR was, to what it needed to be, was a paradigm shift from being merely administrators of decisions made by others to becoming key decision-makers affecting business outcomes. HR leaders succeeded to a great extent and most business leaders today believe that the HR is making exceptional contributions in strategic areas, including talent management, succession planning, engagement, recruitment and retention and that senior HR executives have done a great job in their role of a business partner.
The business world, however, has been changing faster than ever, with significant shifts in scope and character. Organisations are learning to deal with disruptive technology, shifts in economic power, talent mobility and black swan phenomenon. Naturally therefore, while HR has been busy transforming itself from the tactical to the strategic, and has deservedly received ‘a seat at the table’, the CEO’s wishlist from the HR function has kept growing. Business leaders today expect HR managers to have a much deeper understanding of business over and above their essential HR skills. Read More...
