Talent Strategy Advisors

Have you ever felt the workers you really need are not the workers you actually employ?

Maybe you believe your organization is not operating as effectively as it should. Perhaps it is issues like procurement cost overruns, customer complaints or shrinking market share. Some in the organization might even be wondering when the competition will overtake your organization in revenues. Unlike last time, these issues are not process or technology related; they are something different. Demographics, retirements and lifestyles are triggering a shortage of critical skills. Some organizations are extending their searches and accepting short-run vacancies, while others are hiring under-qualified workers. In both cases, the outcome is similar — a workforce producing marginal results. Breakthrough Workforce Strategy was written as an executive toolkit for thinking strategically about critical skill shortages. Its insights and proven practices are more than the product of creative thinking. They are the result of intense analytics and uncommon observations about the workforce. With Breakthrough Workforce Strategy, executives have a toolkit to further develop competencies for: • Understanding the sweeping nature of the skilled worker shortage • Integrating a Workforce Strategy with business objectives • Evaluating positions critical to operations and profitability • Examining internal workforce supply threats • Assessing external workforce supply and demand threats • Predicting the impact of demographic trends on workforce supply and demand balances • Analyzing meaningful demographic segments for solution opportunities Build your organization’s response to the critical skills shortage in less time and with greater business impact with Breakthrough Workforce Strategy. “In a world of growing commoditization, talent is the key differentiator for a company's future.
