A keynote presentation at the Nov 2014 Higher Education User Group in Brisbane, Australia. The key message is the importance of 4 key roles in making people management successful in Higher Education
The story of the 3 musketeers and D’Artagnan is an analogy for todays discussion on the changing roles of 4 important components to HRM and Talent management success.
The team of 4 were very different people, who had different skills and life objectives, but they understood each other and supported each person and the group.
The effectiveness of this team is aligned to complete understanding of each others role and capability, rather than trying to be something they were not. As we are going through significant change in organisations spurred on by government changes in funding and alternative methods of becoming educated, so the roles of our 4 team members are changing. Only when this becomes clear and accepted in your institutions are you able to operate as an effective team.
motto of the title characters in the book The Three Musketeers, by the nineteenth-century French author Alexandre Dumas
The 3 are those being his friends Athos, Porthos Aramis.
young man from Gascony (a city in France) named D’Artagnan = syll. dar-ta-gnan, d'-artagn-an . The name is of the meaning 'leader'.
All the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members pledge to support the group
All the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members pledge to support the group
motto of the title characters in the book The Three Musketeers, by the nineteenth-century French author Alexandre Dumas
The 3 are those being his friends
Athos, He seems immune to romantic feeling, though we learn late in the novel that this hasn't always been the case. He becomes a father figure to d'Artagnan
Porthos A Dandy: a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self.[3] Historically, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-centuryBritain, a dandy, who was self-made, often strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background.
Aramis A deeply religious younger Musketeer.

Digital ( in its broadest sense – social, cloud, mobility, SaaS, internet of things, analytics, choice, BYOD,BYOS) for HE is having significant impacts. Not just in terms of the main focus ie. Quality education and Research, but internally (administration), the work environment, workforce, communication and collaboration is impacted by digital. Organisations must adapt and keep abreast in order to stay competitive and attractive to future employees.
A digital transformation transfers ownership, which is why its so important for HR to achieve. Line management must own HR
Messages:
IT is a general skill, not a specialist skill, this is creating many more stakeholders (
In the era of digitalization, the CIO must help IT focus on business models, treat colleagues as partners, and engage external customers.
More stakeholders across the organization means more risk of diversion. The CIO can help the various stakeholders come together and figure out a response to digitalization
The CIO can help determine how IT focus on both maintenance and innovation. The CIO must become the:
Conductor
Renovator
Innovator
Expert
CIO
Must focus on both doing the right things and doing things right.
IT
Must ensure the capabilities are in place to be a key player in digital transformation.
E.g. Moocs
Teltra from gov to private
Gov hospital to private
Having service level agreements
Very slick talent solutions for the first time, we are seeing a lot of interest in talent –
Rapid implementation / pre-configures – link to agility
Sothern QLD for e-performance
Question for day 2: want to talk about agility POIT have invested in pre-configured – People express, can you tell me more about it ?
Public private partnership – co-fund certain functions, e.g. leasing hardware

The Architect
Stop owning the people processes. Instead become the architect. By creating the right context in which people can be successful, HR will deliver its greatest contribution.
The Data-Strategist
HR will work on becoming evidence-based. That entails not only looking for data to assess HR interventions, but also planning interventions based on available scientific insights.
The Coach
HR should be aware of reification of people. In the quest for a spot at the board table we might have lost the contact to people. HR needs to be(come) more empathic.
Digitally Savvy
HR will have to master the digital know-how: social tools, HRIS, self service, analytics, mobility, and gamification.
