Strategy Development and Deployment
Development – business cannot have effective corporate strategy unless it links its people with its plan. We provide a disciplined approach to understand critical issues, prioritize initiatives, allocate resources, and find feasible solutions that yield optimal outcomes.
Deployment – we believe that the best strategies are meaningless if they are not systematically executed. We bring practical approaches to equip and motivate people to understand strategy and actually deliver accordingly.
Company Culture Design
We see company culture as a platform – there is not one way or one component that is the best. We believe that company culture is a business imperative, as important as having an overall business strategy. We help organizations make this connection and create a system for defining, developing, and deploying a company culture that resonates with employees to clarify purpose and align objectives.
We also recognize that employees today have more choice and information than ever before, which means not only understanding your company culture, but communicating it – a strong employer brand is essential. We bring a focused approach to explore, create and then communicate your culture…your story. We help showcase your distinct offerings and ultimately, help people differentiate your company from other organizations.
People Playbook
Whether re-structuring, scaling up due to rapid growth, navigating significant change, and/or establishing organization governance and structure for the first time, a close-to-the-ground ‘plan of action’ is required. Just like a playbook used by coaches during a sporting game, the People Playbook is designed to help you – business leaders – strategically design and deploy the systems, processes, and practices that will help you obtain high impact sustainable results.
By using the People Playbook approach, we quickly discover improvement potential; provide insight into organizational factors and motivations; help identify workforce priorities; establish an aligned management plan; and ensure governance, compliance, and risk mitigation from a people perspective, is managed effectively.
The People Playbook not only focuses people to work on the right things, but also improves the way people work. It features:
- Organization Design, Structure, Governance
- Workforce Planning – Manpower Planning, Diversity and Inclusion
- Workforce Growth – Recruitment
- Workforce Management – Engagement, Training and Development, Health and Wellness
- Leadership – Alignment, Development, Succession Planning
- Total Rewards and Recognition
- Employees in Community Programing
HR – Management Operating System (HR-MOS)
We ‘get’ HR and what makes it tick. We bring proven and practical approaches to establish, operate, or unleash the potential of HR in an organization to make decisions; recruit, retain and engage people; and, ultimately deliver on organizational goals.
Whether it is the inaugural set up of the HR function, or re-establishing the effectiveness of a current HR department, we provide customized and practical strategies to set-up and get the most from your HR department. We work with you to deliver the processes, policies, systems and practices that align with company culture and deliver on business needs.
Executive Confidante
We recognize that executives look for advice and support not only on people and organizational issues, but also on the personal ups and downs of leadership. We provide practical feedback and coaching supports. We look at leadership behaviours – provide unbiased views, explain patterns, and outline impressions regarding impacts, style and alignment.
Workforce Insights – External Labour Market and HR Analytics
We understand the need to get the basics right in order to plan for the future. We help you know your workforce by understanding the so what rather than focusing only on the numbers.
How people think and feel about work – who they work for, how they work, when they work, where they work, and how long they work – is rapidly and continually changing. Due to this new work world, business must not only understand its current workforce, but the pool of potential people. It is also imperative that business understand and make decisions based on the market forces that shape where and why people work.
We take a holistic approach to workforce insights – inside out, outside in. Inside out – we assist organizations with enhancing the value of their HR analytics by improving processes, systems and reporting activities. Outside in – we provide insight into the external labour market that provides an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of the current workforce market and the impacts that influence demand/supply, location and expectations of talent.
