‘Talent on Demand’: Applying Supply Chain Management to People
from knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu
Failing to manage your company’s talent needs, says Wharton management professor Peter Cappelli, “is the equivalent of failing to manage your supply chain.” And yet the majority of employers have abysmal track records when it comes to the age-old problem of finding and retaining talent.
Supply chain managers “ask questions like, ‘Do we have the right parts in stock?’ ‘Do we know where to get these parts when we need them?’ and ‘Does it cost a lot of money to carry inventory?’ These questions are just as relevant to companies that are trying to manage their talent needs,” he says. In other words, the principles of supply chain management, with its emphasis on just-in-time manufacturing, can be applied to talent management.

How to build the procurement Dream Team
From developing interns to training veterans, building the right procurement organization is a lot like managing a sports team
By David Hannon — Purchasing, 2/14/2008
“If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.”
The words football coaching legend Bill Parcels used to sum up his reasons for leaving the New England Patriots after a dispute with management may also ring familiar to the average CPO today.

taking it to the next level: interview with Ed Huller
Lots of people will tell you that well-oiled supply chain operations can bolster the bottom line. Ed Huller may be the first to suggest they can give the top line a boost as well.
It’s probably no surprise that the new chairman of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals’ board of directors considers supply chain management to be strategic. Or that he’s a tireless advocate for the profession. But Edward Huller’s views on what could be called the supply chain opportunity set him apart from crowd. Logistics and supply chain excellence represents more than an opportunity to improve the bottom line, he says. It offers a huge opportunity to enhance the top line—sales and revenue growth—as well.
