Abstract
Recently, Talent Management (TM) was presented as an innovative approach for fostering creativity, balancing work-life commitments, enhancing motivation, reducing demotivation. However, lack of utilizing talented human capitals, which was counted as waste of resources, necessitated the implementation of lean six sigma as a strategic HRM role with TM. This research aims to create a conceptual framework model that defines the relationship between implementing lean six sigma approach as a strategic HRM role, talent management approach.
To achieve that aim, a research strategy consisted of literature review and questionnaire is designed to gather data sufficiently rich to cover the research topics and investigate the perception and application of pharmaceutical companies towards implementing lean six sigma as a strategic HRM role with talent management practices. Although only SEDICO was surveyed as a case study, other companies that share similar characteristics will benefit from the application of the framework towards creating competitive advantage.
