The document summarizes key findings from a 2013 global HR Barometer research report. It finds that while HR organizations are beginning to use digital tools in talent management and knowledge sharing, they struggle with service delivery roles and responsibilities. Learning and development relies heavily on face-to-face training, and idea generation is typically done by assigned teams rather than using digital crowdsourcing. Organizational culture is seen as the main barrier to greater workforce connectivity and digital tool usage. HR is viewed as important for transformations but needs top management support; role clarification is still needed for effective HR service delivery.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Digital acumen is essential for business leaders in today’s hyper-competitive, technologyenabled
world. But most companies lack the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the digital
aspects of their business, according to a new survey of 436 business leaders by Harvard Business
Review Analytic Services.
The global survey found that while CEOs generally understand the strategic opportunities and
threats of digital business, many have yet to build and communicate a vision for their companies
or to develop a strategy to make that vision a reality. And most organizations’ functional leaders
lack the skills and knowledge they need to execute a digital strategy, even if there’s one in place.

Introduction: Leading in
the new world of work
GLOBAL organizations today must navigate a “new world of work”—one that requires
a dramatic change in strategies for leadership,
talent, and human resources.
In this new world of work, the barriers
between work and life have been all but

ees alike. The
balance of power
in the employer-employee relationship has
shifted—making today’s employees more like
customers or partners than subordinates.
Many of today’s employees work in global
teams that operate on a 24/7 basis. An increas-
ing number of skilled workers in this new
world work on a contingent, part-time, or
contract basis, so organizations must now
work to integrate them into talent programs.
New cognitive technologies are displacing
workers and reengineering work, forcing
companies to redesign jobs to incorporate new
technology solutions.
Demographic changes are also in play.
Millennials, who now make up more than half
the workforce, are taking center stage. Their
expectations are vastly different from those
of previous generations. They expect acceler-
ated responsibility and paths to leadership.
They seek greater purpose in their work. And
they want greater flexibility in how that work
is done.
For human resources (HR) organizations,
this new world requires bold and innovative
thinking. It challenges our existing people

The Digital Talent Gap - Developing Skills for Today’s Digital OrganizationsCapgemini
The War for Talent Has Gone Digital.
The shortage of digital skills in the current marketplace is unprecedented. It is estimated that over 4.4 million IT jobs will be created around Big Data by 2015; however, only a third of these new jobs will be filled.
Martha Lane Fox, the UK’s digital inclusion champion, believes over 16 million people in the UK lack the basic digital skills to fully benefit from the Internet.
Even Millenials are a matter of concern. In a survey comprising over 800 middle to upper management executives from over 50 industries, nearly one in five Millenials in the modern workplace are perceived to be lacking in analytical skills.

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

Global hr barometer 2013
1. IT Transformation the way we do it
Digitalizing HR:
Connecting the workforce
2013 Global HR Barometer Research report
2. 1. Executive summary
Capgemini Consulting publishes its
global HR Barometer report to
investigate the trends and challenges
facing today’s HR executives and their
teams. The findings in this year’s report
suggest that HR organizations are
slowly beginning to use digital tools
within Talent Management and for
increasing knowledge sharing within
their organizations. Further, the HR
function appears to be struggling with
service delivery in terms of clear roles
and responsibilities both internally in
the HR function but also in the interface
with the business. Finally, the report
highlights the perceived insufficiency
of HR IT systems. The research utilizes
the Digital Maturity Model (see figure 1),
developed in collaboration with
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), in order to measure
the level of digital maturity in different
aspects among HR organizations.
Low utilization of digital tools in
Talent Management
Recruiting, retaining and developing
people remains a top focus area for
HR across industries. Succeeding in
recruiting and retaining talent rests on
the ability to understand what engages
employees and providing opportunities
that drive their development.
Few organizations have established
best in class digital processes to interact
with current and potential employees in
order to strengthen the employer brand
or utilize digital tools in the Learning and
Development process, where
organizations are heavily relying on
face-to-face classroom training and
webinars.
Connecting the workforce
While recognizing the benefits of
connected organizations, HR executives
experience challenges in transforming
the company culture to promote
collaboration and idea generation
through digital tools. A low
understanding in the business of the
possibilities and benefits is seen as a
major obstacle combined with the lack
of processes needed to fully leverage
the capacity of web 2.0. Traditional
methods of idea generation,
predominantly using an assigned
development team, is the norm.
HR’s roles and responsibilities
With transformation activities are on
the increase in organizations,
understanding of the people agenda
renders HR a critical role as a true
Business Partner in transformations.
However, HR’s ability to provide support
is highly dependent on the sponsorship
of top management. For service delivery,
HR executives are continuously working
with the clarification of roles and
responsibilities within the HR function as
well as between HR and the business.
Underperforming HR IT systems
There is a view that HR IT system
solutions do not deliver sufficiently in
a majority of the cases. Close to 50%
of the participating organizations in
the study stated that they are currently
considering changing any of their HR
systems. There is also a lack of
sufficiently integrated features for HR to
interact with employees and enhance
the employee experience using
web 2.0 and digital tools.
Maturity= Where are you now, where to begin, how far to go, how fast?
Figure 1: Digital Transformation and
the Digital Maturity Model
Digital Intensity
Digital Transformation refers to how companies leverage technologies
in order to transform the way they operate or interact with
stakeholders, or develop their business models.
A few of the questions in the HR Barometer 2013 survey were
designed to measure the level of digital maturity of the respondents in
certain aspects such as change management, idea generation, learning
and development, employer branding and recruitment etc.
The analysis of the survey results showed that the overall digital
maturity level of respondents is quite low.

Each of the digital maturity questions had 4 possible responses which
could be mapped to the various stages of digital maturity e.g.
Beginners, Conservatives, Fashionistas and Digiratis. The 4 stages help

3. 2. Survey demographics
In March and April 2013 more than 130
HR executives, representing companies
of varying sizes (by revenue and
number of employees) and industries
across the globe completed the online
survey.
The industries with the majority of
respondents are Services (41%),
Manufacturing (29%) and Retail/
consumer products (11%) (see
figure 2).
80% of the total firms have
revenues over $1 billion USD; firms
with less than $500 million USD in
revenues account for 12% of the
companies surveyed.
The size of companies varies
from less than 500 employees
to over 50,000 employees.
Approximately 50% of the survey
respondents are from companies
with 5,000 to 30,000 employees.
20% of companies have more than
50,000 employees.
European participants
constitute approximately 65%
of the total sample, while North
American companies make up
approximately 35%.

4. 3. Key survey findings
3.1 Digitalizing
Talent Management
Talent Management continues to be a
significant priority for HR executives and
their businesses. HR executives that
participated in the survey indicated four
top strategic areas for Talent
Management in which they are currently
investing during 2013 (see figure 4):
leadership development
talent attraction, recruitment,
retention and branding
learning and development
strategic workforce planning
The majority of HR executives are
concerned about their ability to
recruit and retain talent.
Not surprisingly, most HR executives
agree that providing opportunities for
employee personal development and
having a good understanding of what
engages employees is critical for their
ability to recruit and retain talent.
Furthermore, being clear and
consistent about the employer brand is
also regarded as important.
Approximately 70% of the organizations
have concerns about recruiting and
retaining talent (see figure 3). The top
areas for concern relate to retaining key
employees in a competitive
marketplace, the quality of succession
planning skills and processes in place,
followed by a lack of availability of skills
in the marketplace. There are fewer
concerns regarding e.g. an aging
workforce. Worth commenting on is the
fact that retaining key employees and
succession planning are both areas
where HR executives have the ability
to affect performance and can work
towards improving.
Figure 3:
Talent recruitment and
retention is a concern for
most companies
Do you have any concerns about
recruiting and retaining talent?
NO
31%
When applying the digital maturity
model, approximately 75% of
organizations can be classified as
Beginners or Conservatives in terms of
using social media for recruitment
purposes. For these organizations
the use of social media is limited, with
advertisements posted on websites
and online recruitment tools that are
integrated with the HR system.
69%
N = 95
Only 6% of organizations can be
classified as being digitally advanced,
using social recruiting and branding
techniques as a way to interact with
potential candidates and strengthen
the brand. The data also suggests that
North American companies are further
along in the use of social media in this
regard than European organizations.
investment focus has shifted. Learning
and Development has decreased since
2012, but still makes the top five
investment list. Strategic Workforce
Planning is currently significantly higher
on the investment agenda for HR
executives than it was last year, and in

the top five list, more organizations are
choosing to invest in driving business
organizational development. Meanwhile,
fewer organizations invest in changes in
compensation and benefit structures.
Leadership development remains a
top focus for HR.
The development of leaders and
improvement of management quality is
continuously ranked as a top strategic
HR topic by the respondents over the
years. Respondents also agree that the
importance of managers to engage
employees is essential for achieving
desired transformations in the business.
Learning and Development is still on
the first stages of digitalization.
80% of the organizations can be
classified as Beginners or Conservatives
when it comes to the usage of digital
tools in Learning and Development, as
they are mainly relying on tools for
one-way communication (see figure 5).
The majority applies face-to-face
classroom training, e-learning and
webinars.
The Digiratis in this area use socially
interactive learning platforms, where
employees collaboratively can share
experiences and learn from each other.
However, these are a minority
consisting of 5%.

N=95
3.2 Leveraging
knowledge through
connected organizations
Organizations use digital platforms
to encourage employee knowledge
sharing.
Over 40% of the organizations surveyed
think that the greatest challenge when it
comes to managing knowledge and
intellectual capital, is creating an
established process of extracting value
from existing knowledge within the
organization (see figure 6). The
complexity to sort, filter and update
the vast amount of information
available to create value is further seen
as a challenge.
Even though a majority of the
organizations have implemented tools
for knowledge gathering, a third of
them lack a database to store collective
information.
On a general level, the survey suggests
that organizations currently using web
2.0 and digital platforms in the shape
of forums, news groups, blogs etc.,
do so mainly to encourage employees
to share knowledge, information and
experiences among each other.
A third of the
organizations lack
a database to
store collective
information.
Few use digital methods to leverage
intellectual capital.
The creation of ideas and organizational
development through digital methods
such as crowd sourcing, are not
commonly used by the surveyed
organizations. Instead, over 80% state
that new ideas are generated by
assigned development teams/functions.

Only a small percentage has
implemented a transparent method
for idea generation and development,
wherein all employees are encouraged
to participate to continuously develop
ideas for products, services and new
ways of working through web 2.0 and
digital tools.
Crowd voting, where employees can
give feedback on ideas generated by
development teams/functions are more
common and is used by over 30% of
the organizations.
Organizational culture is considered
the main obstacle to digitalization.
The lack of support from the
organizational culture is stated as the
top reason for why companies are not
using digital media or web 2.0 tools.
As a consequence, almost 50% of the
organizations acknowledge the culture
aspect as an area to work on in order to
increase workforce connectivity, closely
followed by increased understanding
in the business of the possibilities and
benefits that such connectivity can
generate (see figure 7). Another reason
given for the non-use of web 2.0 tools
is simply that the organizations do not
have access to them.

7. 3.3 Roles and interfaces in
the HR service delivery
high quality service delivery appears to
lie in the implementation of the model,
where HR executives are still striving to
clarify roles and responsibilities within
the HR function as well as between
HR and the business. This suggests
that there are great development areas
between different building blocks within
the operating model.
HR is a key player in transformations.
90 % of HR executives believe that their
organizations are involved in
transformation activities to a larger
extent than they have been in the past.
And over 90% believes that the HR
function is a key player in these
transformations. Having knowledge
of people issues in the organization
renders HR a critical role as a supportive
partner, but in order to shoulder this
role, the HR function is heavily
dependent on the support of top
management. In general, the view of
HR executives is that transformations
require increased engagement and
support from managers.
There are mixed views regarding
the ability of the HR function to
efficiently deliver both strategic and
administrative support.
A majority of surveyed organizations
believe that the HR function has the
ability to deliver various strategic
support as a Business Partner in terms
of structures and processes as well as
roles and responsibilities in place.

There is a need for allocations
and clarifications of roles and
responsibilities to ensure effective
service delivery.
The common service delivery model for
HR consists of shared services, a center
of excellence and HR Business

organizations confirm a high
implementation rate and continuous

model (see figure 8). The challenge of

approximately 60% of cases that HR’s
way of working with HR administration
frees up time for the HR Business
Partners to undertake more strategic
work. On the flip side, the results do
suggest that between 20 and 40% of
the organizations mostly or completely
disagree with the performance of HR
within both the Business Partner and
administrative support area.

8. 3.4 The struggle with
underperforming HR IT
The HR function focuses on
improvement of current IT systems.
Among the organizations there is
generally a disagreement as to whether
their systems work sufficiently or not
(see figure 9). Hence, while a significant
number of participating organizations
typically have a HR system solution with
various different features, the system
solution does not deliver sufficiently in
many aspects.
Half of the organizations rate their
solution as not sufficient in terms of
effective execution and automation of
administrative work. Out of the
organizations that have a HR system
solution that provides managers and
employees with access to self-service,
slightly more organizations feel that their
solution delivers the required results
than those who do not.
Closer to 60% of organizations have
some embedded tools to connect to the
latest technology, such as a smartphone, but around 40% do not feel that
the system solution is sufficient within
the area. 50% of organizations state that
their solution does not support
end-to-end processes sufficiently,
does not have well-enough
integrated features for HR work, nor has
the ability to increase employee
experience through the use of web 2.0/
digital tools. The critical view on current
system solutions is reflected in close
to 50% of organizations stating that
they are currently considering changing
some, or all, of their HR systems. 45%
of organizations intending to change
their HR systems state that they will
continue implementation and roll-out of
their current solution, while close to 40%
state that they will implement a full
SaaS solution.

9. 4. The way forward
Capgemini Consulting is observing
shifting demographics in the workforce
in combination with a business
landscape that is becoming more and
more borderless, both geographically
and organizationally. There is an ongoing
digital transformation, which is
bringing new challenges and
opportunities for businesses as well as
for the HR function.
Through the use of digital media and
platforms, organizations have the
possibility to generate and collect
enormous amounts of data, but are
running the risk of information overload.
With this background, in combination
with the HR barometer survey results, it
is expected that leading high performing
organizations will focus on the following
topics going forward:
Adding digital practices to the Talent
Management agenda:
In today’s society, employees demand
a balance between business needs,
social needs and their individual needs,
and there is a rising demand for
personalization, While the workforce is
used to socially integrated, advanced
tools and ways to communicate outside
of work, they will increasingly demand
this in their day-to-day operations. It
will become increasingly important not
to lag behind as an employer in this
respect. Improving the employee
experience is a critical ingredient to
attract, develop and retain the best
talent.
Using collective knowledge to drive
business development and facilitate
decision-making:
Knowledge is a competitive advantage
and harnessing the collective knowledge
of the work force demands improved
collaboration and innovation techniques.
In a competitive environment
organizations need to take advantage of
knowledge and idea spread throughout
the organization and find new ways to
collaborate in order to secure internal
efficiency and boost innovation.
Such a collaborative environment needs
to be driven by top management and
anchored in the business. The
implementation of digital tools and
culture change to embrace this
enhanced way of working is
considered a prerequisite for achieving
a truly connected organization.
Further adapt HR IT to secure
efficient service delivery:
Few HR executives consider their
current HR systems as sufficient. The
rising demand for SaaS solutions
suggests that HR functions require more
advanced technology, combined with
the flexibility of ongoing updates.
These topics brings new challenges to
HR’s agenda.
