Chief Learning Officer - October 2007 - (Page 36) environment Learning’s Role in Talent Management Michael E. Echols, Ph.D. Think of talent as an asset and management as a process. Much of the attention on talent management has been on the process and the tools to manage that process. Learning has to do with the creation of a specific asset, the human capital that fits the business model of the firm. The importance of the specific human capital asset is seen by looking at tangible assets such as machinery, software and information systems. These assets represent value to their organization only when they align with the business model of the enterprise — coal rail cars do nothing to help Google complete Internet searches, and the computer servers that help Google are incapable of moving finished consumer goods from West Coast seaports to Midwestern markets and, thus, have only limited value to a shipping company. So it is with learning. Human capital assets differ from tangible fixed assets (those on the balance sheet) in some important ways. Learning investments an organization and its employees make actually create human capital. Virtually no company makes its own fixed tangible assets — it purchases them. The Industrial Age bias of purchasing tangible assets carries over to talent management in the 21st century with purchasing talent from the outside, i.e., recruiting talent. And in the strictest sense, this is accurate because talent only can be procured. It cannot be developed. There are many additional forces that influence the expansion of human capital to recruiting over internal development. Unfortunately, the global demographics will make recruitment ever more difficult over the next 15 years. October 2007 I www.clomedia.com I Chief Learning Officer 36 http://www.clomedia.com
