Compare and contrast the similarities and/ or the differences between personnel management, human resource management and human capital management. b. As a Manager / Senior Manager of human capital management (HCM) department in your organization, discuss what are the steps that you will take to ensure the optimization and realization of HCM practices? 2. Human Capital Management (HCM) has gone through a great deal of transformation. From analytical models, it transformed to normative, prescriptive and competency based models. Using renowed and seminal HR competency models developed by Ulrich and his notable team, how can you integrate the understanding of the said competency models into your current HRM / HCM practices? It would be advisable to refer to only one of the models of Ulrich and his team. 3. Human Capital Management (HCM) continues to face challenges all the time. Give five (5) challenges that are currently faced by HCM. For each of the challenge discuss in depth how it affects your organization and what are the possible steps that you are taking to ensure sustainability and viability of your operations.
