Computerized workforce management system for improving an organization's capacity to fulfill its mission

摘要

A computer program programmed to assist management of a group in deploying, training, hiring, and firing staff and other resources of the group. The program builds a model of a group, the model including the organizational structure, missions, and tasks that the group performs to achieve its missions. The program queries managers of a group to obtain the managers' requested levels for a plurality of resources for the group, including requested levels of proficiency for a plurality of competencies. The program queries staff members of the group to obtain staff assessments of the degree to which the group meets the requested levels and competencies. The program compares the managers' requested levels and the staff assessments to identify mismatches between the requests and assessments, and reports those mismatches to the managers, for example, in the form of suggestions for training of staff. The program may perturb the model to reflect a change of a requirement imposed on the group. The computer may receive or develop of adaptations in the model to reflect adaptations to the group to respond to the changed imposed requirement. The program may perform adaptive modeling or optimization of the model to discover a desirable set of adaptations for implementation by the group to respond to the changed imposed requirement.
