Talent Management Systems (TMS)
It is often said that people are an organization's greatest assets, which is why the first of five "SOF Truths" states that "humans are more important than hardware."
This means that talent management is a top priority for any high-performing organization. But, what makes a truly effective TMS? We believe that it is more than a master database that stores resumes. Rather, today's TMS needs to:
Third Order Effects can build your organization's TMS to match individual skills, experiences, and knowledge to organizational requirements. Whether you work in a government agency or private company, a TMS will provide a better grasp of the skills in your workforce. Knowing this is only half the battle. Crunching the data gets you only so far but it's helpful to analyze gaps in the unit or company, fill vacancies with qualified people, and predict future needs as your organization evolves.

- Be built upon a graph-theoretic framework (i.e. an owl-rdf ontology), that
- Map to (i.e. organize) distributed human-resource data across any enterprise
- Provide enhanced workforce analytics through a knowledge graph and reasoning engine

Case Study: U.S. European Command (EUCOM) needs a governance advisor with expertise in determining the best way to use a city's land and resources. This advisor may help to draft legislation or plan the construction of new public housing. He or she may help to protect the environment or suggest zoning regulations for private property. Expertise in transportation planning, community development, or environmental and urban design may be required.
How would EUCOM planned find such a person? Does anyone with these skills exist within the U.S. military?
Consider the case of Lieutenant Colonel John Smith, a U.S. Army Reserve Soldier who is also a full-time city planner. He likely has the right mix of training, education, and experience to be an advisor to EUCOM. Because his professional profile is updated in a graph-enabled talent management system (see image below), LTC Smith is quickly identified as one of several candidates by the system's reasoning engine. Then, he is automatically added to the "short list" of Army Reserve personnel who could help the Command with this emerging requirement.
