ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to develop a Human Capital Report focused on
the competency profile of the key employees. Employing the case study of
Biomedical Branch of University of Florence, we have designed a strategy map
centred on key stakeholders: students, university, didactic and research
centres, businesses. Furthermore, we have designed a model for the management
of human resources, integrating two different approaches: individual and
organic. On the basis of this model,
semi-structured interview was carried out to obtain rich data on the current
competences of key employees, divided in three personal characteristics for
each strategic theme: knowledge, skills, aptitudes. The results of our analysis
show where the competences of the key personnel are lacking, the strategic
initiatives to take in the future, and the lead indicators to use for measure
the effects of the initiatives. This study contributes to the previous
literature, describing how university institutes can measure the human capital readiness.
