Bizkaia companies will be able to assess their maturity in terms of people and talent management

- The Business Management Research Centre (MIK) of Mondragon University, the GAIA cluster and Bizkaia Talent have joined forces to develop a digital self-diagnosis solution which enables companies to identify their strengths and areas for improvement in this field
In order to manage talent in an efficient manner it is necessary to ascertain a company’s level of maturity. To have accurate information about strengths and areas for improvement allows us to take decisions in line with the company’s business strategy. With this aim in mind, the “Bizkaia with the talent” initiative, promoted by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, hosts an online self-diagnostic tool which enables companies to assess their level of development in terms of people and talent management.
The development of this tool is the result of one year’s work on the part of a team made up by the Business Management Research Centre (MIK) of Mondragon University, the GAIA cluster and Bizkaia Talent.
The project, which combines models of company maturity and informative methodologies in people management, has resulted in a new analysis model which measures and assesses the state of maturity of a company in terms of talent management. By means of a design based on data analysis and its exploitation, the digital tool provides each company with an individualised report with a detailed diagnosis, together with specific recommendations and steps to be taken to strengthen its people and talent management strategy.
The power of the 4Ps
In order to provide this analysis with a structure, the self-diagnostic tool analyses and assesses the current state of the company in four dimensions, known as “the power of the 4Ps”.
The first of these is Place & Context, in which the level of maturity is assessed in terms of the characteristics of the company, such as its size or geographic scope. In the second, which is known as Purpose & Strategy, the strategic factors which have an impact on talent are analysed, these being for example organizational culture, leadership and technological progress.
The third, known simply as People, examines the distribution of responsibilities with respect to people management, both within and outside the company. Finally, the tool analyses the dimension known as Practises, where the degree of development of practise in terms of people management is assessed.
This tool is a first step towards an integrated people management strategy based on data and in line with the needs of each company.
