[30-Minute Diagnosis] Is Your Company's Talent "Insufficient" or "Imbalanced"? - A Perspective on Talent Portfolio

Selection and Variation Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "our company"), an organizational and human resources consulting firm (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Osaka Office: Nishi-ku, Osaka; Nagoya Office: Nishi-ku, Nagoya / President and CEO: Keihou Hirakou / URL: https://sele-vari.co.jp/), is pleased to announce that it will hold a seminar titled "[30-Minute Diagnosis] Is Your Company's Talent 'Insufficient' or 'Imbalanced'? - A Perspective on Talent Portfolio" on August 5, 2026 (Wed) from 12:10 to 12:50.

Overview

Despite strengthening recruitment, focusing on training, and revising evaluation systems, organizational performance does not improve. Many companies perceive this situation as "labor shortage," but in reality, it is often the case that "the composition and role allocation of human resources do not align with business strategy."

While attention is paid to individual skills and evaluations, the opportunity to re-examine the organization as a whole from the perspective of "what types of talent, and in what proportions, should exist for the current business and strategy" remains untouched for many companies.

This seminar will explain in 30 minutes the concept of organizing human resources not by "role" but by "type," and visualizing the entire organization as a portfolio.

Furthermore, it will cover the implementation roadmap, including which measures (recruitment, training, placement, system revisions) and in what order to fill the gap between the "ideal" and the "current situation" after visualization. This seminar offers hints for companies that are unsure whether they have "insufficient personnel" or "imbalanced talent" and are struggling with their next steps.

Program

• Why organizations that feel they "lack people" are actually more likely to have imbalanced talent - Typical patterns where recruitment, training, and placement become individually optimized - The structure by which HR measures become misaligned with management's intentions

• A diagnostic tool: Talent types and portfolios - A perspective for viewing the organization by "type" rather than "skill" - Steps to visualize your company's talent composition

• Translating diagnostic results into measures (three gaps: quantity, quality, and system) - Criteria for deciding whether to fill gaps with recruitment, training, or transfers - Confirmation of whether systems (evaluation, compensation, promotion) support the new talent model

Support for reforms based on early adoption of "Job-based employment"

Our representative, Hirakou, successfully introduced an HR system compatible with job-based employment to a major electronics manufacturer in the 1990s, when performance-based HR systems were spreading. Since then, we have supported the transformation of over 200 companies, questioning whether "companies can truly grow" and "what HR can do to expand business and generate profits" in relation to new graduate hiring, seniority-based promotions, regular salary increases, and lifetime employment.

We are now supporting management reforms to turn the crisis into an opportunity for growth, based on changes in work styles and lifestyles due to the COVID-19 shock.
