The Building Blocks of a World Class Organization

Prioritize What Matters Most

Not all competencies are created equal—they should be assessed based on potential impact if done well and current effectiveness of the organization.

Conduct Pilots & Learn By Doing

Learning by doing is critical, and pilots
help accelerate capability development. Pilots allow for rapid testing, measuring
and refinement.

Embed New Management Routines

Drive change by integrating it into the daily work. Make change real by integrating into annual and strategic plans, developing metrics and dashboards, and establishing “playbooks” for continuity.

Ensure Continuous Learning & Knowledge Sharing

Learning programs should consistently deliver against four principles. Link people and organizational capability building to strategic objectives. Tailor learning to account for variations in adult learning styles. Embed a culture of continuous learning into the DNA. Reward successful adoption of T&D modules and establish key metrics.

Drive Into Individual Talent Development

The job of talent development is to train the gaps, fill the voids and leverage
strengths. Individual assessments and development plans should be linked
to the competencies and capabilities and should be incorporated into hiring
profiles and on-boarding initiatives.
