This program is designed to help distributors develop a competitive advantage through human capital development. Making human capital a competitive advantage for organizations is a long-term process that requires a clear vision, holistic thinking, strategic planning, carefully crafted strategies and multi-party collaborations. The course is based on the Optimizing Human Capital Framework produced as a result of a two-year applied research and extensive fieldwork as a part of the Human Capital Development Consortium, one of the 11 research consortia led by Texas A&M University Global Supply Chain Laboratory. It incorporate results of our collaboration with 18 leading wholesale distribution companies in the Unites States. The research efforts generated a diverse set of best practices that focus on five key Talent Practices. The results are distilled and packaged into 2-day session with Talent Assessment and Talent Development tools.
The course mainly consists of four key components: Strategic Planning, Talent Practices, Talent Tools, and Outcome Metrics.
