Abstract

The era of disruption, marked by the development of digital technology, automation, and artificial intelligence, has fundamentally changed the need for talent in the workplace. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of human capital development in response to changing talent needs, identify factors influencing its effectiveness, and evaluate its contribution to organizational readiness. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. The results show a significant shift from conventional technical competencies to digital, analytical, and adaptive competencies. Human capital development strategies such as upskilling, reskilling, digital talent acceleration, and adaptive learning have proven to be key factors in improving organizational readiness. The effectiveness of human capital development is influenced by management support, digital infrastructure, a culture of innovation, and individual learning motivation. This study confirms that sustainable, technology-based human capital development is a key prerequisite for creating organizational competitive advantage in the era of disruption.
