People Are Critical To Success
Posted

The best business minds of our times have understood that people are critical to success.

A great HR leader is arguably still the most valuable person in an organisation. What has changed is the function of the CHRO role in today's age of disruption. On top of navigating the complex challenges of the labour market, the modern CHRO has to tackle critical issues such as changing demographics, the speed of change and the corresponding role of technology while also managing workplace culture and employee engagement.

Some of the more specific challenges facing today’s CHRO are:

  • Dealing with alternative workforce arrangements.
  • Creating effective teams when there are multiple generational cohorts.
  • The increasingly high-tech world of HR.

The good news is that boards of directors have and will increasingly view the CHRO as critical to long-term business sustainable success. However, as their role continues to rapidly evolve, CHROs will require new and broader skill sets that allow them to tackle the changes and challenges of today's disruptive times.

Reinventing Risky Acquisitions

Could a new Chief Financial Officer help a global corporation re-invent several risky acquisitions and engage their regional teams in a new business strategy? The challenge was to find a CFO capable of partnering to turn-around the failing elements of the new portfolio and create a dynamic new corporate strategy all could buy into.

To find the right candidate our highly specialised consultants leveraged our proprietary TRANSEARCH Orxestra® Method, undertook extensive search effort, conducted a battery of behavioural interviews, and took each candidate on a deep dive regarding corporate culture and their ideas for stringing together multiple teams in a vision with shared values and commonly aligned business priorities.

This resulted in the appointment of a candidate we recruited from a larger, globally respected corporation who had offered a compelling capacity to turn things around in the region and a commitment to unify the cultures binding employees across many different countries.

The AI Revolution: Fast Rising To The Top Of The C-Suite Agenda

Artificial Intelligence has reached a tipping point. Hailed as "the next big thing" for the past few years, AI is poised to fundamentally change businesses and people's lives - a shift described as the "fourth industrial revolution".

It is always a challenge to successfully adopt new technology, but AI is a strategic market that cannot be ignored. The challenge is no longer realising the importance of AI, but in applying and sustaining it.

Getting started with AI can seem daunting, and there are many facets to assessing readiness, including governance and strategy practices, process and data practices, technology enablement practices and talent management practices. On the talent-readiness side, CEOs and CHROs can look within the organisation, asking questions such as: Do we have communication and training programs to develop AI skills for all employees? Do we have a skills re-training framework in anticipation of the impacts of AI? Do we have reward and recognition incentives for those who innovate with AI?

Of course, a key piece of the puzzle is recruiting top AI talent from outside the organisation. With a global shortage of AI expertise, the time is now to take advantage of the world-class talent emerging from our universities and research centres.

While the change won't happen overnight, businesses can become AI ready and remain competitive by recruiting the leaders of tomorrow. Their future may depend on it.

Darren Raycroft discusses the preparedness of Canada to meet the needs of the AI revolution.
