By Business Consulting, Human Resources, Succession Planning

Four Succession Planning Steps for 2021

Generally, businesses have two sources of irreplaceable knowledge – people and database(s). If either is lost, years of insight can be erased in an instant, forcing companies to learn a hard lesson. While organizations recognize the need to implement data backups, fewer see the critical nature of developing a succession plan. The key to successful succession plans is not waiting for signs a transition is needed, but proactively developing a plan and options. This will ensure knowledge is shared from person to person long before any departure and that your company is prepared for the future.

Remote Onboarding – An Intentional Plan with Individual Attention

At a time when so many companies are just trying to avoid furloughs and layoffs, why do we need to think about remote onboarding?  Some companies are still hiring, and some that had layoffs are now refilling those positions.  We’ve also learned that companies can fill some positions very successfully with remote workers, so in the future, some key positions may become potentials for remote workers.

While your basic checklist for onboarding may remain unchanged, an intentional onboarding plan and individual attention will improve the chances for success.  Here are a few things to think about regarding remote onboarding.

BIG DATA & SMALL ORGANIZATIONS – Learn to use data as a decision making tool

By: Scott Warren and David Nelms

“Big data” isn’t just for big companies. Many organizations feel they are too small for “big data,” but data size is relevant to the size and complexity of the organization. All organizations have a preponderance of data that can help them make better decisions. Actively and consistently using actual data to inform allows organizations to track results and outcomes of decisions and, ultimately, can point decision-makers in the direction needed to identify problems or opportunities.

By Business Consulting, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources

What Do Great Leaders Do Next?

Leaders’ successes typically revolve around the ability to develop and implement brilliant visions.  They help their staff move forward in their careers; they build their organizations; they make their communities better places.  The blur of health and social trauma over the last five months (with no end in sight) gives leaders a very different challenge.

It’s hard to create a brilliant vision with this level of uncertainty; it’s hard to help people advance in their careers when a computer screen is the only connection; it’s hard to find the energy to move forward when the race is a marathon and the footing is muddy.

By Business Consulting, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Strategy, Technology and Operations

HOW CAN YOUR BUSINESS BENEFIT FROM A FRACTIONAL LEADER?

And steps to find the right firm. 

For those not familiar with the concept of fractional leadership, it is an efficient and cost-effective model for businesses to outsource functions when they do not have the expertise in-house or are going through a transition.
