other, but the world knows that this is not how business actually gets done.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ever notice that Linked In is loaded with Recruiters??\u00a0 That\u2019s not the point of this post, but I think we can all agree that the recruiting function of HR has long since discovered communities as an avenue for adding talent to organizations.\u00a0\u00a0 But recruiting is only one small part of the HR function.\u00a0 What about talent management and organizational design?\u00a0 ((<a href=\"http:\/\/www.antseyeview.com\/blog\/exploring-communities-and-corporate-hr\/\"

systematicHR or on Talentism).\u00a0 If we\u2019re only talking about using a social network and community for recruiting, how could we apply this to talent management?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learning:\u00a0 this is probably the easiest to envision.\u00a0 Innovation and collaboration networks will be providing the platforms that HR can \u201cpiggyback\u201d on.\u00a0 As those networks roll out, we\u2019ll see clear paths that we can use to improve the opportunities to learn through a network, create great mentorship programs, and find our senior talent that really influences the rest of the employee population.<\/li>\n<li>Performance management:\u00a0 could you really see everyone tagging you (good, bad, collaborator, mentor, effective, productive, fell asleep in meeting)?\u00a0 The first issue is one of transparency.\u00a0 People have to be willing to tag and have that tag be traceable back to them.\u00a0 Second, people might have a major bias to rating you based on their personal like or dislike of you.\u00a0 At the end of the day, can we figure out how to build a community and use web 2.0 in an innovative way to create better performance management?<\/li>\n<li>Succession planning:\u00a0 On linked in today, you have people writing positive reviews of your work (hopefully).\u00a0 When we\u2019re identifying succession candidates, wouldn\u2019t real world experiences that each of us have built over time with our employment networks be the most critical to deciding if we\u2019ll be effective leaders in the future?\u00a0 These measure not only our experience and successes, but our potential.\u00a0 Instead, we have rigidly structured succession planning processes that identify successors based on their current roles in the organization and the evaluation of one or several contributors to the succession plan.\u00a0 Not a complete picture by any means.\u00a0 I could totally envision how ongoing, constantly open networks (feeding into a secured system) would be a major enhancement to the current system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Web 2.0 is here.\u00a0 It\u2019s coming soon to an HR vendor near you over the next few years.\u00a0 The form it will be in is unknown to me, but putting more power in the hands of the community to convey information and knowledge can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an
