PCMM®
While we accept that most of today’s service and knowledge businesses are talent driven and that people are our biggest assets, historically, (at least the IT) organizations have focused more on proactively improving their delivery processes and their investments in technology.
In fact, the current global hue-and-cry on talent shortfalls and high attrition rates in IT/ITES are only a tip of the iceberg. At the business level, there are imperatives like improving productivity, moving-up the value chain, enhancing competitiveness and getting closer to the customers. At the organization level, issues like managing a multi-cultural and multi-geography workforce, managing rapid growth and creating “cool” work cultures continue to take a large mind-share of business leaders and HR professionals. All this, while today’s professional is trying to get multi-skilled and chart a clear career path for herself.
So, its not good enough to win the “talent wars”. Its also not enough to try solutions (like Business Process Reengineering, Employee Stock Options, Assessment Centers and 360-degre appraisals) in a piece-meal manner. Instead, the need of the hour is to take a holistic view of the organization’s business, culture, technology and talent needs. And adapt solutions based on an integrated and proactive approach towards developing & engaging talent, growing the business and delighting the customers
The People Capability Maturity Model® (People CMM®) is a maturity framework developed at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) that guides organizations in improving their ability to attract, develop, motivate, organize, and retain talent.
It provides an evolutionary 5-level improvement path from ad hoc, inconsistently performed people (or human resources) practices, to a mature, disciplined development of the knowledge, skills, and motivation of the workforce. The practices included in the People CMM have been chosen from past global experience because they have significant impact on individual, team, unit and organizational performance.
