IBM recognizes that organizations’ IT function faces some of the most dynamic talent and skills management issues of any organization and functional group. These issues may appear tactical, but can also have wide ranging impact on the successful and continuing operations of the overall business. Through a structured approach to capturing the skills and talent required, you can capture, recognize and manage risk against such issues as: • Major product version updates • Mission critical infrastructure operations • Security management and updates • Vendor certification and support • Compliance (regulatory, security, ISO/CMMI, etc.) • Application development and support • Changing contractor population • Outsourced vendor services
In an organization it may be easy to answer a question such as “how many printers do we have?” or “where are they?”, but the same cannot be said when asked about knowledge, skills or people. By using the IT Job and Competency Framework, you will be able to lay a foundation for answering:
• How many people and who are the ones that can implement the mission critical failover procedure?
• What is our mission critical knowledge and how much of that institutional memory resides in our contract workforce?
• What skills based SLAs can we drive our outsource vendors to deliver?
• What’s our capability to migrate from one version of a technology to the next?
For more than 20 years, the IBM Kenexa Talent Frameworks has been deployed in many organizations to help them - either independently or as part of a larger HR strategy - improve learning, development and performance of a company’s most critical components. Using the content library is a rapid and robust way to customize your organizationally aligned competencies and job profiles.
IBM offers Job Skills & Competencies across 20 different industries. This is but one of those libraries. IBM Kenexa offers complete solutions to support your Talent Management requirements including cloud based software to manage your workforce Job Skills & Competencies, Employee Self-Assessment, Manager Assessment, Skills Gap analysis and more.
