In "Beyond HR: The New Science of Human Capital by John W. Boudreau and Peter M. Ramstad, it shines through that business leaders have mostly vague or inconsistent ideas about where and how talent creates competitive advantage. Their "human resource management" provides at best situational rather than strategic solutions. More than evolutionary, or revolutionary thinking is required to overcome the lacking core competence of any desirable knowledge work!

This claim has to be taken serious with the basics presented her, to implement it, with a road map, and a decision-science framework for enhancing the quality and rigor of decisions about what is still called "human capital" with it misleading associations. Then the connection between business and what is called "HR strategies" has to be made sufficiently transparent (open), compelling (towards a desirable end), and in pragmatic way (to promote generating desirable ways of co-operation). Boudreau and Ramstad make the case very effectively that the relevant, open-ended-generative principles of talentship are required to overcome the present crisis with a decision science. It is imperative for all kind a decision makers where real people are involved to move from historically instinctive decision making to an appropriate analytical discipline as it has existed with the science of nature the onset of Newton's physics.

Our organization’s future and the genuine expectations of leaders and those concerned urgently require that we all make this shift quickly and create the much-needed framework in terms of Lifefulfilling Platforms to reframe strategies to the personally relevant substance of human talent. Almost any other talent is now easily accessible.

This entails a paradigm shift and a new leadership framework beyond the today’s and tomorrow’s HR and business leaders. The major oegp-contribution to leadership practice will tangibly improve more than just firms’ competitive position. Leaders and board participants in all walks of economic, political and social life should be hold accountable to understand and practice the lessons about the inner structure of real human systems that emerge in our time.

So far real human systems (people and their relationships and networks) in contrast to abstract concept of "human", are treated as stepping stones, rather than as corner stones in science and politics at large which are all obsessed with their mono-political focus, and that almost at all cost. Thus it is no wonder that all the systems created in the old paradigm tend to ultimately turn against real humans as was appalling apparent in the last, and most terrible century in terms of wasted life fulfillment.
