 Caring for assets: the human factor -DAWN - Business; 26 April, 2004
The ineffectiveness of the internal control systems is deeply rooted in stark negligence of the most vital element of assets that is the human capital.

In the public sector, since the focus of organizations is essentially on physical asset management and implementation of stereotype operational strategies, majority of the employees are engaged in unproductive activities.

 Using The Hidden Assets of America’s Communities and Regions To Ensure Sustainable Communities
Whether the assets we are concerned with are economic, ecological or social in nature, the problem that we need to come to grips with is the need to recognize our stocks of capital.
Economists who are struggling to imbue a sense of importance to assets such as knowledge and ownership are turning to ecological metaphors to similarly distinguish the stocks of these assets (i.e., how much of the asset is there) from their flows (how quickly and in what ways are these stocks changing).
Their characteristics were that they tended to be public-private partnerships; supported by the sense of urgency on the part of civic leaders; creatively configured to be representative, inclusive and diverse; and "custom-designed" to address the issue at hand.

 Watson Wyatt Asia-Pacific - News, Magazines and Newsletters
At present, what corporations should realize is that along with the building of a 'human resource flow management' system there needs to be an 'optimization of human assets,'-taking the human resources on hand as one's assets and making use of them to the fullest.
That is to say, from the micro point of view, you consider what individual characteristics comprise the assets on hand, while looking at it from the macro point of view, how you can best make use of the assets which will bring the greatest benefits to the entire corporation.
When examining the assets on hand from the micro viewpoint with the premise of the 'optimization of human assets,' competency assessments are an available means to do this.
