Digital transformation in projects disrupts how project-oriented organizations recognize and value skills and expertise of new data-savvy talents. Existing research on digitalization in projects has focused mainly on technologies that can help organizations and people achieve, without connecting the implications these technologies have on human and social capital in project environments. This research goes beyond this dominant technocratic view to examine talent management for project management professionals operating in an increasingly digitalized and data-rich world. Through a purposive sample of 24 semistructured interviews with diverse project management experts across industry, academia, and professional institutions, our findings extend talent management scholarship in two ways. First, unlike scholarship on talent management that hitherto has emphasized identification and recruitment of talents, our interviewees placed more attention on developing and retaining talents. Second, whereas talent management scholarship can identify pivotal roles that can secure competitive advantage, our research highlights the importance of data-savvy expertise to interact with nondigital project management expertise in order for such pivotal roles to succeed in project contexts. Strategies are proposed for new directions in talent management practices based on our proposed buy–lease–make model for talent management in project-oriented organizations.

Engage customer-facing employees by real-time customer status
A solution to optimize supportive resources for enabling customer-facing employees and improving customer satisfaction
This graduation project aims to create a solution, which will enable customer-facing employees to increase employee engagement and customer satisfaction. It does so by optimizing digital supportive resources.
The solution tries to resolve the gaps between current supportive resources and ideal supportive data & tools. By bridging the gaps, the solution also could affect information overload and the limitation from the data privacy.
Finally, a solution includes a principle and a set of tools are presented. That includes the “JET principle” to align the information structure of customer status across supportive tools. A set of tools “JET banner” “Live JET” and “Empowered JET” indicate real-time customer status in supportive tools, and suggest improvements in service procedures. Through those solutions, the customer-facing employees will have access to the real-time optimized customer status. That could enable and engage those customer-facing employees to offer more empathy in their working context, which will, in turn, improve customer satisfaction.
