Talent Management

Hi All,

This question is regarding Talent Management (TM) and the modules covered by TM.

I have worked on SAP E-Recruiting and Performance Management a lot but implementing Talent Management end to end for the first time. Have read a lot around this topic but quite confused in terms of its coverage. The client has decided to go for Talent Management but whether Nakisa and E-Recruitment will be part of the scope is not yet decided. My confusion is regarding the additional features that Nakisa will provide, which the latest version of SAP Talent Management wouldn't. The client we will be implementing is on EhP6.

Below are my questions:

1. Can TM be implemented without Nakisa? If No, kindly list out the functionality that will be left out.

Rather, it would be better if I could get a list of functionality available With & Without Nakisa.

2. Is TM Succession Planning possible in absence of Nakisa (not the old R/3 based succession planning, portal based TM succession planning)?

If Yes, will we be able to do the following:

* Identify Key Positions

* View Potential Successors using Profile match-up and perform side-by-side profile comparison

* Tag selected employee as Successor

* Create Succession Plan for identified successors

3. Can we create Individual Development Plan (IDP) for employees and can the employee do Career Planning for self in standard SAP if Nakisa is not implemented?

4. Is E-recruitment a must for implementing Succession Planning?

Kindly advice.

Also, it would be good if I could get a doc containing screenshots of various SAP TM functionality (without Nakisa).

Regards,

Shashank Shirali

Hi Shankar,

Thanks for the reply.

With respect  to -

Question 1 & 2: I read about some functionality of Nakisa (Org chart & Job architecture) inherently available as part of standard EhP6 offering, which does not require explicit implementation of Nakisa. Also, functionality like talent comparison, creating of development plans and monitoring, etc. which is part of Nakisa functionality, is also available with EhP6. Please find the details on the below link:

Talent Search - Business Package for Talent Management Specialist 1.61 - SAP Library

Also, the below link mentions few features of Talent management specialist role, one of which is assigning successor to positions from portal.

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/ca/ec4e4b4fc744cfa7198ee99fbe573e/frameset.htm

Similarly, there might be several other features already available with EhP6 which have an overlap with Nakisa features. I would like to know or have a list of features that are not in common, which Nakisa provides and TM does not. Screenshots of the same would be good as well. Hope my requirement is clear now.

Question 3, the words "PD" and "Talent Management" are used interchangeably and mean the same. The question is, assuming we do not implement Nakisa, will we be able to do  Career Planning and IDP using Talent Management module of SAP independent of Nakisa? If Yes, please provide details or any document that might have the screenshots of the same. That would be of great help to me.

Regards,

Shashank

You are right most of the functionality which Nakisa delivers is available in TM, Please note nakisa gives more graphical representation ie a new ui, but without Nakisa also, it can be done. what are the functionality you are looking? as you are for TM with Nakisa you would extra license costs refer below for screenshots and information http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/talent-visualization-by-nakisa 3) As said earlier, Nakisa is a UI for more easier processes, you can still do above, PD is SAP concept and nakisa uses the same data. You can achieve all and above without Nakisa too, Its just that what functionality you are looking at. are you planning EHP6 or HR renewal

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks for the info.

The client does not want to invest in Nakisa if the same functionality is available in talent Management. The client is specifically interested and looking at the below functionality:

* Job Architecture (graphical visualization and creation of the job architecture objects namely - functional area, job family, job, from portal)

* Succession Planning (ability to mark positions as key and view the key positions at any point in time if required, talent comparison for succession, assign successor to key positions and prepare development plans for the identified successors)

Can the above be done without Nakisa?

We will be implementing EhP6 and if HR Renewal is required, may go ahead with the same.

Thanks & regards,

Shashank

Job Architecture might be difficult to get in graphical representation, but all functionality is available with a caveat it ll be in WDA or you can consider hybrid model Successfactors talent with SAP HCM too RKT material can be good bet to see the functionality https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000444862012E

TM is group of all the functionalities i.e LSO, PD,  PMS, TMS


1. Can TM be implemented without Nakisa? If No, kindly list out the functionality that will be left out.

Rather, it would be better if I could get a list of functionality available With & Without Nakisa.

You can implement E-Rec, LSO, PD and PMS


2. Is TM Succession Planning possible in absence of Nakisa (not the old R/3 based succession planning, portal based TM succession planning)?

If Yes, will we be able to do the following:

* Identify Key Positions

* View Potential Successors using Profile match-up and perform side-by-side profile comparison

* Tag selected employee as Successor

* Create Succession Plan for identified successors

with out Nakisa you can't implement these functionalities. In portal, all functionalities available with Nakisa based applications only.

Other wise, with out Nakisa you have to use old R/3 based succession planning.


3. Can we create Individual Development Plan (IDP) for employees and can the employee do Career Planning for self in standard SAP if Nakisa is not implemented?

This is part of PD.


4. Is E-recruitment a must for implementing Succession Planning?

it's not must, since you will be identifying the internal candidates first in succession.

If no one suits for your position then it's must to identify the applicants as successor from E-rec side.
