Keep Your people by aligning your Strategy

Where People and Strategy meet

STRATEGY + COMPETENCY + DEVELOPMENT

When you have the right fit between your strategy and your people, your story is compelling to your customer and energizes your team and amplifies your growth.

Development

How do you keep your employees growing? How does that drive your objectives?

Does everyone in your organization know why they are there? How their work contributes?

How might you create career pathways for your employees to keep them productive and engaged?

AI Enablement

Do your employees know how to make the most of emerging tools like AI? Are they confident using these tools? Are you?

Are you concerned that you might be missing opportunities by not using AI in your business?

How might you boost productivity by introducing AI into your business and empowering your employees?

Storytelling

What story are you telling about the work you do? Are you engaging clients and customers or boring them?

What do you current employees think of the story you tell? What about future employees?

How might you better tell the story of the amazing work you do?

    Taking Career Climbing into the 21st Century 

    We talk about climbing the career ladder. But what it we thought of our careers more like a climbing wall?  Ladders are fixed in one direction. The climbing wall lets the climber choose their own paths, and it’s not always straight up in one direction.  The Productivity Project in Learning City Calgary is rethinking what… Read more

    “Across industries, between companies, and over time, wellbeing is proving to be an ever more important predictor of company performance.

There is a strong connection between employee… Read more

  • Skills of a Feather Flock Together

    Skills of a Feather Flock Together

    I worked with a project manager once who was a wiz at Excel. She could get that program to run almost like a basic software and her formulas were incredibly detailed and complex.  You could enter 2 or 3 pieces of data and the spreadsheet would do the rest, spitting out usable insights that kept… Read more
