Optimizing diverse human capabilities for competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
The world has changed. Disruption is everywhere in our interconnected world economies, and a relentless global pandemic has altered business forever. Today’s inter-generational, multicultural, multilingual workforce must now operate in an intensely complicated global environment.
With so many dynamics in play, organizations now are in search of ways to optimize the diverse capabilities of their people to achieve competitive advantage from within.
As our global economy continues to transition, leadership has become more focused on intangible organizational assets, like culture and engagement of human capital. These are indispensable to company performance because, unlike strategy, they are difficult to replicate. Revitalizing, reshaping, or recalibrating culture to support adaptability is now understood to link value and growth in support of good long-term performance. But only if that culture also encourages personal development, learning, and innovation.
“…organizations and leaders today must focus on unleashing human capacity—designing environments and systems for work that inspire individuals to contribute their full imagination, initiative, and passion every day—and on aggregating human capability—leveraging new social, mobile, and digital technologies to activate, enlist, and organize talent across boundaries.” LaBarre
Our services support your business
Our services focus on serving C-suite leaders in two ways. First, we help business leaders recognize the critical linkage between people inputs and business outcomes. Second, we coach leaders to set the stage so their HR staffs play a strategic role in achieving business objectives.
More than 87% of workers worldwide report that they are not engaged at work. Yet, engaging employees early in the strategy planning cycle can capture the hearts and minds of the people who can transform words on paper to a blueprint for success. We can help you clearly identify and articulate the people components of your strategy to invite input and create value.
You’ve got a business to run and we’ve got the expertise to ensure you’re not distracted. We’ll make sure your HR nuts and bolts — policies, procedures, processes, and paperwork—are in order and are legally compliant so your business won’t face unexpected citations and fines.
Effective change management communicates success with a whisper. With a 70% failure rate, ineffective change management is more likely, more expensive, and much noisier. Let us help eliminate the noise with disciplined processes that bridge the gap from the present to make your future bright.
Our swiftly disruptive world demands an agile, adaptable workforce whose working environment includes experimentation, innovation, reinvention, participation, and collaboration. Use us to help identify, develop, and engage employees who will thrive in these circumstances and broaden your hiring strategies beyond traditional methods and traditional candidates.
Today in the digital era learning agility is the new normal. If this is not top priority in your organization today, there soon will be plenty of hustling to close technical, digital, and behavioral skills gaps. We can help you understand and communicate the critical skills needed for tomorrow and the array of resources available to your workforce to acquire and build them.
While there are many benefits to global expansion, there are also significant challenges and threats. Chief among them is knowing how to develop global leaders from your existing pool of leaders who know your business best. We can help you proactively develop a global leadership program so that when you realize your future market is the global market, you’re not left behind.
Neither performance nor productivity can be maximized to deliver business value if employees don’t know exactly what they are doing and why, if they are not exercising their strongest skills, have not been able to review company or divisional goals and invited to suggest their own objectives to support overall organizational objectives. Individual objectives as well as team objectives are far more likely to be achieved when employees are self-motivated by owning their job, their role, and their contribution.
Would you be surprised to learn that money ranked fourth on the list of the top five reasons that employees quit their jobs? Compensation and other rewards are used to keep momentum and focus in place on a daily basis and especially throughout a special undertaking to encourage employees, or to drive employee performance. But not everyone is motivated by money.
There are always opportunities and pitfalls of HR technology, known as either Human Resources Information Services (HRIS) or Human Resources Information Technology (HRIT).
