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?

    Shifting Focus to Protect Value aka Shield the Runner

    I live in a car-centric city. I also enjoy recreational running.  These two things are sometimes at odds.  The number of times I have almost been hit by a vehicle (mostly when turning left) as I cross at a crosswalk because the driver is only looking at the other cars is more than a few. … Read more

    It Shouldn’t Have to Suck

    In a great conversation last month, a colleague and I agreed that all the little work that needs to be done, those unpleasant tasks that no one really wants to do… … shouldn’t have to suck. You’re probably thinking, they shouldn’t, but these things still do, so there’s nothing I can do about it.  But… Read more

    Motivating Without a Paycheck

    Intrinsic Employee Engagement Factors – Which Lever Will You Pull?  My career began as a volunteer manager in the non-profit sector and then moved into human resources.

    Scouts for Adults

    Badges are back but it’s no longer just for participation.  (Anyone remember those Participaction badges?!) Today, both learners and employers are including badges into their search for jobs or for employees.  Badges are changing the education and skill game.  The parchment that you earn with a degree means you have learned a subject widely and… Read more

  • What Types of Errors Cost the Most?

    What Types of Errors Cost the Most?

    What happens when you only have part of the information? What decisions do you tend to make? I was challenged on this recently when someone explained to me the two types of errors we can make. They used the analogy that the weather forecast calls for 50% chance of rain. In this instance you have… Read more
