HR Directors Series, January 21, 2003
The Center for Human Resources Management
held its quarterly HR Directors Series Luncheon on Tuesday,
January 21, 2003. The agenda included an address by Academy
president Philip Burgess and a live demonstration of the Automated
Human Capital Readiness Assessment Tool by senior consultants
Mary Lou Lindholm and Greg Keller.
Mr. Burgess discussed his vision
and goals for the Academy. He told the directors that Center
Director Myra Shiplett has been a great resource for the Academy
and will be missed. He also stated that the Academy is pursuing
relationships with other organizations that have an international
focus.
Ms. Lindholm and Mr. Keller gave a presentation
of their Automated Human Capital Assessment Readiness Tool.
Mr. Keller told directors that the original design was to
provide a crosswalk between OMB, OPM and GAO scorecards. OPM
has now stated that the term is no longer "scorecard,"
but "standards of success." The focus has been on
creating a tool that integrates this new framework and developing
a tool that managers and HR professionals can use to assess
readiness.
Mr. Keller described the different versions
of the tool that the Academy had created to this point. The
first version was a rudimentary matrix to link the various
scorecards together, entitled the Human Capital Crosswalk.
The second pulled the matrix into an Excel spreadsheet that
linked the scorecards and deconstructed the green/yellow/red
system. The third was another spreadsheet formatted in a database.
The concept was to capture the scores for each agency to give
it more descriptive solution to "get to green."
The fourth and final version was more automated and incorporated
a new framework in line with conversations shared with OPM.
