It's the report that made skills-software vendors and the pundits who shill for them very mad. All we did was ask basic questions like, "Is there any business justification for skills?" and "How is this different from the competency models HR pushed for so long?" We tell you the answers, in detail. Read it now. #skills #I4cp #SHRM #ATD #CSHRM https://lnkd.in/e6N9eEn3

Early in my career I would preach the value of strategic planning while doing very little of it And now that is a core part of my life, I cannot stress how important People, YOUR team, shapes the strategic vision of an organization Right talent, right place and at the right time A few notes from an upcoming blog post about Strategic Planning - how it almost sunk in the early days PeopleLift and how it is a competitive advantage for us moving foward. Why do we place so much priority on planning cycles? Strategic #workforce planning ensures we have the right talent in the right place at the right time to meet our evolving needs because this #market is anything but 'ordinary'. What do you all think? #strategy #strategicplanning

I hear "No" a lot from IT leaders when we first meet. ❌ Do you have the resources and capacity you need to get it all done on time? ❌ Is your team able to take on new and innovative projects to grow the company? ❌ Do you have all the right skill sets on your team to meet evolving or shifting needs? ❌ Are all of your projects "green" in terms of time and budget? ❌ Do you have time to keep up with the pace of cutting-edge change in IT? ❌ Is being an IT leader a low stress job with good work/life balance? I've turned those "no's" into "yes" for 100's of IT leaders over my 11 years at Provisions Group with a single service called ConciergeIT. Send me a note and let's talk about a custom plan that fits your unique needs. chad@provisionsgroup.com https://lnkd.in/emP4SSGq

Community is one of the main drivers for humans. People want to belong. So, why is it that a lot of organizations don't put a focus on this topic? Be it as a vendor, or internally. The results are clear - people don't understand, don't feel involved, and don't care ... and the business results are following logically: lack of acceptance and lack of revenue. But how do you build your community? That is the main topic of our conversatin with Heather Wendt in the latest episode of the What's Your Baseline? podcast. And it is a great conversation because not only does Heather have a great experience in this topic, but she is also actively managing her own community at Gain Grow Retain!

Here is a great article by Shorts for Success contributor Daniel Elacqua, PMP, MBA. Leadership in Action: Crafting Technology Roadmaps to Enhance Membership and Marketing in Associations In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, association executives face the challenge of driving membership growth. This is often accomplished through enhancing marketing effectiveness. To help deliver more effective marketing, and accomplish membership growth, the association must align these goals with technology. This requires a good technology strategy. A well-crafted technology strategy is critical in aligning technological advancements with organizational goals to foster engagement, improve communication, and boost efficiency. A technology strategy is not just a checklist of software to purchase or systems to update; it is a strategic plan that outlines how technology will help achieve the broader goals of your association. It prioritizes initiatives, allocates resources effectively, and sets a timeline for implementation and evaluation. Most importantly, it ensures that every technological investment contributes to enhancing member value and improving marketing outcomes. This article aims to inform on best practices in creating a comprehensive technology strategy.

When I heard "supercommunicator" I thought it was a buzzword. After reading this article I understood what it was all about. In daily communications to connect with others being able to identify the type of conversation (emotional, parctical and social, as described) you are in makes it more in-depth, relevant and engaging. And many people can be(come) supercommunicators. Another way to demonstrate the value and impact of language... "The easiest way to explain a supercommunicator is to describe one. You probably know who to call if you’re having a bad day and need someone to raise your spirits or make you laugh. That person that you know to call is a supercommunicator to you. Conversely, you’re probably a supercommunicator for them. There are even some people who can be supercommunicators for almost everyone—and can do it consistently. They tend to think about conversation and communication deeper than everyone else. They consider everything before they open their mouths, and they’ve developed listening habits that enable them to find out what’s going on. Supercommunicators ask ten to 20 times more questions than the average person" #globalbusiness #communication #globalcommunications

I don’t believe that “Executive” and “Leader” is the same thing but in most cases, being a good Executive requires being a great” Leader”. This article by Vince Molinaro is the best I’ve read that captures so well what’s required in order to be both, a great Executive who’s also a great Leader: https://lnkd.in/gAmybt9u   The higher up you climb the corporate ladder, more often you are required to balance conflicting priorities and motives which challenges your priorities , your values and at the same time, test your resiliency.     This is a great read and reaffirms for me what I always believed in – people are the most important asset in business. As a leader, if you look after your people, they will look after your clients and success will follows.   #leadership
