La capacité de transformation comme composante du capital humain : une étude exploratoire dans un groupe coté

This article is based on an exploratory study undertaken in a major French company on the theme of designing a measuring instrument of the transformation capacity. The results of this study tend to show that those transformation capacity could constitute one of the key components of the human capital concept. Starting from the paradigms of the organizing organization and the evolving practices of strategic planning ("fabrique de la stratégie" model), this article proposes a measurement matrix of the transformation capacity structured along four dimensions: Methods/ Resources; Practices; Actors competencies and skills; Results delivery orientation. The first results of our survey shows that the human capital, defined as the combination of people individual potential, employee motivation and commitment, can be mobilized in transformation process through a logic of collective training and learning organization. Finally the transformation capacity can be considered as a key component of the human capital and a means of measuring it in an operational way.
