Understand Human Capital and Unleash Human Potential 

Three Aspects of Human Capital People are the most invaluable asset, and Talent Management is always one of the most important disciplines to manage the business. There are quite a few terms that have been used. From personnel management to Human Resource Management to Human Capital Management of today. Whatever you use to refer to the people in the organization, there is an investment that is needed in order to achieve the business goal and this investment has various perspectives - one being the human perspective. So organizations need to see this as a critical aspect of growth and invest in their people, thereby taking the debate away from the term of reference to the reality of what it should be.

Human Capital vs. Human Resource Today's organizations have a big disconnect between talent management strategies and business strategies - when business parties involved in human capital and resources management understand the connection and are able to create those links concretely, not abstractly or theoretically - then they become successful and share that strategic value adds of transformation with the organizational leaders. But first things first, what’s the difference between Human Capital and Human Resource?

How to Digitalize Human Capital Management As always, talent is the most significant asset in any organization today.

There are physical potential, intellectual potential, and spiritual potential. How to unleash the abundance of human potential is perhaps one of the best rewarding areas for human society advancement. But it is the arena full of myths.

To tap human potential is also like drilling the oil, if exploring too narrowly, you might never detect the right spot; if deploying the shallow field only, you won't touch the right point either. Tapping the limitless human potential is both art and science. It takes the out-of-box thinking and trans-disciplinary approach.

Bridging the Potential Gap Organizations today need both performance and potential. Performance keeps your business running, churning numbers, etc, whereas potential looks at an employee that can bring your company to the next level, and the collective human potential in the organization is the greatest thing the organization should ever invest in because it is the driving force to catalyze the business growth and build the unique organizational advantage the competitors cannot beat. So, how to understand both potential and performance at the deeper level, bridge the gap to unleash the collective potential and accelerate business performance to the next level?
