HCM: 21 Model

and interpret data so that it can predict the probability of
upcoming events.

Prof. Vijay K S Bapuji B-Schools, Davangere
HCM: 21 Model
1. Scanning – the assessment of all the internal factors that might
have an influence on human, structural and relational capital;
2. Planning – the creation of a system that provides an alternative to
the structured system by relying on sustainable human capability
rather than on just filling positions;
3. Producing – HR are view as processes with inputs and outputs and
statistical analysis is used in order to reveal the most suitable
combination of inputs that drive the desired outputs;
4. Predicting – the system consists in analysing strategic, operational
and leading indicators.
