Presentation Description

We are entering a new economy and business model with tremendous potential for success.  However, your business is facing new threats for survival.  You must be able to anticipate, respond and adapt to these threats quickly or risk becoming extinct.  The old economy was embodied by large companies facing limited competition in stable markets.  The new economy is about competition through the entrepreneurial spirit where the fast eats the slow.  The facts point towards five critical threats that all businesses face today.  Find out why the best CEO’s are turning to HR to lead their organizations through these challenges and how you can prepare!

Participants will learn:

1. To facilitate the development and communication of the organization’s core values, vision, mission and ethical behaviors. The competition is leveling the playing field. Failing to engage your workforce to create and develop new products and services faster than the competition will cause your business to lose it competitive advantage.  Everything else in business can be replicated except your most valuable asset-your employees and their total engagement.


2. To participate as a contributing partner in the organizations strategic planning process (e.g. develop and present long-term forecast of human capital needs at the organizational level). Establish strategic relationships with key individuals in the organization to influence organizational decision-making. Most analysts agree that 80% of turnover can be attributed to bad hires.  Poor talent selection practices cripple businesses making them fall short of reaching their potential.  HR must build a quality skilled workforce by managing smart hiring decisions.


3. To interpret information from external sources related to the general business environment, industry practices and developments, technological advances, economic environment, labor force and the legal and regulatory environment in order to contribute to the development of the organization’s strategic plan.  Learn how important it is to establish alliances with key individuals and outside organizations to assist in achieving the strategic goals and objectives.  The single largest external threat to business is excessive government regulations on the state and federal levels.  Increased legislation makes it harder for all business.  It distracts businesses from pursuing their core competencies and erodes profits.
