Abstract
Due to ICT’s ubiquitous nature, the IT function holds a
strategically important role in many organizations today. The IT
function not only
supports day
-
to
-
day operations and business
continuity, but due to technology’s evolution from
role
s
of
automate
to
informate
to
transformate
, the IT function also plays
an important part in how ICT can enable and facilitate radical
organizational change.
Therefore, the people assets of the IT
function are a key resource that needs to be effectively managed.
The principles of Talent Management, which recognizes the
differential impact of employees in delivering value to the
organization, are examined in thi
s
white
paper. Key talent sources
for the IT function need to be identified and recruited; rewarded in
line with their performance contributions; developed through
appropriate training programmes/schemes, and retained. One
approach to determining the effec
tiveness
of organizations
in
managing the IT function’s
‘A performers’
is to determine the
current maturity of their
P
eople
A

M
anagement (PAM)
capabilities. The PAM Critical Capability of IT
-
CMF is proposed as a
useful maturity assessment tool to enabl
e organizations to
establish roadmaps or action plans to improve the current
maturity of strategic workforce management and employment
life
cycle
activities of the IT function. Such increased maturity
would improve practices surrounding the identification
and
management of key talent sources.
