Using the KSF for Workforce Planning

More than just a number: Human Capital Management

At Think Associates, we simply define Human Capital Management as “delivering the right knowledge, skills and behaviours, at the right time, to maximise organisational performance”. Our Human Capital Management services include:

• Skills audits, and analysis of your current staff data sources (including ESR, and e-KSF) to help you understand:
• The current demand for knowledge and skills in your organisation
• The current supply of knowledge and skills, including qualifications, recency of practice, and preferences to use existing skills.
• The gaps between demand and supply, and the implications of these gaps for people management and organisational strategies.
• Helping you to use HCM data to influence organisational decision-making.
• Helping you to place a value on your human capital, and provide business-focused measurements of how HR and L&D strategies can add value to the organisation.
• Scenario-planning to understand how the balance between demand and supply might change in the future, as a result of changes to international and national legislation, availability of talent pools, and new business strategies.
• Developing HR strategies to manage and close any gaps between supply and demand, including:
• Practical knowledge management plans to create new knowledge and innovations, and have best practice and scarce knowledge across the organisation.
• Recruitment, retention and overall resourcing strategies.
• Programmes to manage your talent pools and relationships with education providers.
• Learning and development strategies and processes.
• Succession planning and retention techniques, to help you make the most of, and protect, scarce skills.
• Measurement and audit services to check that your strategies are actually making a difference in terms of delivering the right knowledge, skills and behaviours, at the right time, to maximise organisational performance.
