Management Challenge in Global Migration

Clearly , the premier issue in the mind of most bosses today is how to address the world recession. The focus, at least in the near term, is the simplest way to survive the downturn. This could be the time to be thinking about the best way to benefit from the next upswing. Recessions don’t last for all time, and we’ll no doubt get out of this rut. Which leads me to the point of this article. One major management challenge in the approaching decades is how we manage world talent flow. Research by consultancy KPMG has disagreed that chiefs will have to be prepared for a totally new, world management environment over the approaching decades as the flow of talented and amateur labour between the developing and developed economies increases.

This convergence, or a net flow of talented and amateur employees migrating between the developed and developing worlds, will mean firms will need utterly to reconsider how they manage their workforces, disagreed the writer of the KPMG report. Organisations are pretty unready for this. World migration is a phoenomenon, driven by less expensive airfares, and Gen Xers who surf the net each day researching new destinations and sharing travel and overseas experience stories. It appears to me that folk will continue travelling notwithstanding green concerns. The only real difference is that we appear to feel more guilty about it.

Somehow I do not believe we’ll see a drop in air travel figures soon. The successful organisations of the future will be highly leading edge, actually knowing how to harness variety and capture talent from across the world.

The offices of the future will have folk talking different languages working with clients and providers from around the globe. The necessary talent to have in that environment is the facility to understand and work with folks from other cultures.
