Interesting Reading - A Client's Recommendation

Posted by David Barron on Mar 12, 2008 12:01:07 AM

At Knowledge Infusion, we are constantly expanding our individual and collective knowledge of the Human Capital Management and Talent Management domains. Information comes through a variety of channels including this recommendation from one of our clients.

 

The book is titled "Results" by Gary Neilson and Bruce Pasternack. I haven't read it all, but have focused on a chapter titled "The Resilient Organization". The content is interesting to me because it speaks to the same mantra that Knowledge Infusion does on the importance of vision, alignment, adaptability, and moving the  goalpost every three years.

 

Some excerpts:

 

"Flexible enough to adapt quickly to external market shifts, the Resilient organization remains steadfastly focused on and aligned behind coherent business strategy......Resilient is the healthiest of all organization types (compared to the Passive-Aggressive, the Fits and Starts, the Outgrown, the Over-managed, the Just In Time, and the Military Precision organizations). It is in good working order... They're always scanning the horizon for the next competitive battle or market innovation."

 

"Nothing exists "just because" in the Resilient organization; every position, process, and policy has a purpose...and that purpose is aligned with the strategic objectives of the enterprise." (Reminds me of Knowledge Infusion's trilogy of People, Process, and Technology).

 

This just scratches the surface...might be worth a read for you as well!!

David,

 

Any discussion on attraction, retention of people in this type of environment and who is attracted to it?  It seems to be the target for young employees entering the workforce.  We see this at Knowledge Infusion with the resumes we receive and goals they state.  Thoughts?
