We are excited to share a recent case study from Hunter Roberts with you all! Our client, a global company in need of major transformation, enlisted our help to create and implement a new organisational design. The goal: to establish an end-to-end service delivery under one Global Mobility umbrella with clear people accountabilities. To do this, we rolled out a strengths-focused approach to performance management. This helped us identify each individual's unique skills and talents, enabling us to match them to the appropriate accountabilities. By doing this, we were able to build a more cohesive team and boost overall morale. But we didn't stop there. We also created a framework for reviewing and updating KPIs, SLAs, and SoWs as well as role profiles and career paths for both local and shared service employees. This ensured that everyone was aligned with the new organisational structure and knew what was expected of them. Overall, this transformational change programme was a tremendous success, thanks to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. If you're facing a similar challenge in your organisation, we'd love to help. Get in touch today and let's tackle it together!

Check out my latest Human Capital Leadership article, "The Evolving Role of Organizational Managers." From the conclusion: "The role of organizational managers has substantially broadened beyond traditional operational responsibilities. Transitioning to collaborative leadership focused on developing talent through lifelong learning and knowledge sharing better equips teams for today's volatile business environment. Integration of workplace technologies also changes core management practices around communication, decision making and process management. Overall, the evolving manager role centers on facilitating empowerment, adaptation and creativity across distributed, self-organizing workforces. With a foundation in both research and practical application, organizations that enact these shifts will build a strategic advantage in continually reinventing work and sustaining competitive edges."
