In its September edition,
Human Resource Executive (HRE) ran an executive development article sharing
several “experts’ views on important things HR executives should keep in mind
to stay ahead of the pack in today’s business environment.”We are pleased to announce that HRE asked for
our input on these issues and quoted us several times in this article.
In addition, when covering
how to “best serve your board”, HRE reported a Watson Wyatt consultant as
suggesting “HR executives bone up on publications from the National Association
of Corporate Directors (NACD) … written expressly for board members.”Our president and CEO, Mark W. Sickles, is
also the president and CEO of the New Jersey Chapter of NACD, and the author of
several of these NACD articles, which can easily be viewed on the Publications
page of our website, www.markwsickles.com.
The following are our firm’s
quotes from the HRE article:
Steps HR Can Take To Foster Innovation: “Train
people in the art of inquiry.If
you accept the notion that inquiry is at the core of creating
breakthroughs, then it’s crucial for employers to teach the workforce how
to put inquiry into practice.Companies spend millions on training and developing their
people.If there’s a methodology
that teaches workers how to manufacture breakthroughs, wouldn’t it make
sense to target some of those funds there?”
Ways to Become More Business-Savvy: “Challenge
yourself to master a deep understanding of the strategic, organizational
and operational implications of free cash flow – income minus investment
for growth.”
Learn To Work With Your CEO and Board to Build
Shareholder Value: “Understand the challenges of post-Enron boards and
CEOs to formulate and implement strategies for delivering shareholder value.”
Become An Outsourcing And Offshoring Expert:
“Learn to design, tailor, and leverage culture to maximize the supply of
adaptability needed to respond to the “irreversible mega-trend” of
outsourcing.The Internet flattened
the world; this is the millennium of India
and China.”
