Relations of Talent development within Organisational futuring (and Corporate futuring)
.
.
There exists a close vertical relationship within Organisational futuring:
- Outer focus: Human capital
- Other focus: Talent development
- Inner focus: Motivation
.
On the Other focus level, a close relationship exists with:
- Learning organisation
- Process management
- HR management
.
Corporate futuring and Organisational futuring intertwine, on the Other focus level, through:
- Ethical decision making
- Performance
- Operational management
- Organisational structure
.
In concrete terms, this means:
- The trio - 'Motivation', 'Talent development' and 'Human capital' - is inextricably linked.
- Your 'Talent development' contributes substantially to 'Learning organisation', 'Process management' and 'HR management'.
- Furthermore, 'Talent development' is part of the Other focus level where 'Organisational-' and 'Corporate futuring' meet.
