However, OCIO has matchless potential and can be a role model at JPL if they focus on their human capital
In our 21st century intervention, qualitative and quantitative approaches uncovered our client’s concerns
We used Leibowitz’s Four Pillars of Human Capital as a foundation to ask fundamental questions Knowledge Management Performance Management Competency Management Change Management
How can OCIO leverage expertise in technology and their social network to lead in knowledge management?
How can OCIO realize their human capital potential through performance management?
What competencies must OCIO nurture or develop to build the skill set for the JPL of tomorrow? • Appealing to every generation • Boomers – most want to continue working after retirement age. Offer flexible work schedules, retirement plans, stimulating work. • Midcareer – unique family stress (dual-focus) and busy lifestyles. Offer training, leadership development and an enjoyable workplace. • Young workers – independent, less loyalty. Offer flexible schedules, exciting work opportunities, comprehensive benefits. • Due to the coming labor and skill shortages, OCIO must develop skills and competencies to become more productive: • Project management and portfolio management • Personal productivity skills • Technology and communication skills
