Introduction
To develop a talent management information strategy, companies will need to practice a form
of ruthless reassessment, auditing and questioning. Talent management as a support tool must
be assessed on the value of the information to decision-makers at the executive level. The
five part process for developing an information system described below is based on two clear
measures: a lean, flexible systems and senior executive understanding and buy-in. This
process is also based on approaches developed for designing products for consumer products
industry and consumer Websites.
Talent Management Information Strategy
The following are the five part processes in developing Talent Management Information
Strategy:
Prepare Project Statement - The project statement is prepared based on the management
needs of the organisation. The statement includes project mission and list of project
stakeholders.
Project Mission: To create a talent management system with a focus on training employees in
deficiency areas based on assessments conducted three times per year by each employee's
supervisor and clients. The employee can also do self analysis as part of a 360 degree review.
Training programme recommendations will be updated daily, with a variety of programs
offered online and special programs announced daily. Inputting information is open to all
employees and outside clients with a universal identification. Individual reports and course
announcements are delivered through special employee code. Overall assessment data is
presented in report form to the company's top executives.
List Components to be Incorporated into the System - List and describe the components
that
will be incorporated into the system. Succession planning, performance and potential
distributions, career plans and training and development needs can be included.
Existing Software - The company has existing client relationship management software
created by Siebel Systems that has full Internet and telephone capabilities. The company also
has a SAP enterprise software system for the HR department.
Prepare Data Flow Chart - Describe the components that will be through the reports. The
Demographic information should be included and how it will be disseminated throughout the
report components. The two essential elements of demographic information are raw
personnel data (names, positions, titles, EEO classification and start dates) and evaluation or
assessment data. How this data interacts with the various reporting methodologies is mapped
using information flow charts.
Develop Management Plan -A management plan is developed at the early stages that
includes who will be responsible for inputting data into the system, who will be responsible
for design.
Analyse Existing Systems and Request for Proposals

After the project statement is completed, a thorough analysis can be conducted of the
company's existing internal human resource information systems, with a particular focus on
how data is queried and exported. This information will be combined with project statement
to produce a series of potential design scenarios resulting in the creation of an internal request
for proposal (RFP). The RFP is a document the company will write to help decide which
software strategy to pursue, based on the scenario results and the range of software options on
the market.
RFP Solution - Using CRM as base, create an internet based assessment system tied to a list
of training and organizational reports. The Employee is given a series of recommended
courses &books and alerted to company sponsored events on the company Websites. The
employee can complete a form indicating which reports he or she has taken. The overall
information is delivered in spreadsheet format and used by the HR department to create a
series of reports correlating the financial results of the organisation to the training programs
taken by the employees and improved ratings. The organisation also has an option to link the
financial database with the training database at a later time, depending on the efficiency of
the preliminary arrangements.
