Effective talent employment is at the core of the Officer Human Capital Model. It can unleash the full productive potential of the Army’s greatest asset – its people. In this class session, students will consider the Army’s past and present employment practices. How has it matched individual officer talents against specific work requirements? Does the Army’s current assignment paradigm develop the depth and breadth of talent it needs to meet the challenges of the 21st century? Does it lead to optimal officer productivity and foster career satisfaction? Does the Army know enough about the officer talent it possesses, as well as the requirements for that talent? And lastly, how can the use of technology systems improve officer talent management? Note: During this lesson, students will be introduced to the Army Green Pages, a web-based talent management system recently piloted by the U.S. Army.
