STRATEGIZE DYNAMICALLY
PERCEIVE CHANGE
TEST & EXPERIMENT
IMPLEMENT THE CHANGE
21. ROUTINES OF AGILITY (1)
Distinct but complementary capabilities
November 24, 2014 | Slide 21
Strategize dynamically
Shared purpose Purpose other than profit &
growth and businessmodel are
known. Values embedded drive
behavior on a daily basis
Change-friendly
identity
Sense of „who we are“ and
„What inspires us“. Strategy
encourages the organization to
change
Robust strategic
intend
Current strategy is relevant in
and concruent to the actual
market conditions. Held flexible
enough to change on short
notice
Perceive change
Sensing People are keen to explore the
future deeply. Many people
maintain continuous contact with
parts of the business
environment
Communicating Unfiltered information from the
environment goes rapidly to
decisionmakers. Communication
goes seamless between top down
& bottomup.
Interpreting Information gets evaluated
against firm‘s identity, intent,
businessmodel, and risk
tolerance

22. ROUTINES OF AGILITY (2)
Distinct but complementary capabilities
November 24, 2014 | Slide 22
Test & experiment
Slack in resources Capable resources (people,
money, time, tools) are
available and can be readily
deployed to experiment with
new ideas
Risk Management Experiments are bounded by
agree-upon criteria for judging
success and failure. The
possibility of failure is accepted,
as a vehicle for learning
Learning Experience with running
experiments is captured and
applied with each „new round“,
so that the company‘s
capabilities are continuously
improved
Implement the change
Management and
organizational
autonomy
Executives delegate sufficient
authority to line and business
managers o that the company
can execute changes with
success. There‘s no second
guessing from headquarters but
alignment with basic strategic
objectives
Embedded
change capability
The pragmatic ability to change
collective habits, practices, and
perspectives is embedded in line
operations, not isolated in staff
groups
Performance
management
Clear, unambiguous, accepted
performancemeasures and
targets are based on business
model drivers with rewards that
matters

26. Agile organizations need agile people....so,
answer yourself this questions:
How agile are you?
Are you changing before you have to?

Adressing
HR‘s role in a global economy
HR delivering transformational results in organizations
Studies reveal that even facing the known challenges of this deacade, i.e. shorter econ cycles w smaller windows to response AND an increasing complexity by a globalized financial market & exchange of goods/services, there are companies that prove being more successful than the market they‘re operating in – and many do even sustain that leading position

Knowledge = People & Info being connected through personal contact & technology exploitation.
Knowledge doubles, triples, quadruples, … as soon as being shared
Changing nature of work: As the way companies sell products and create profits changes, so does the way in which that work is accomplished. Employees must be able to work as easily with colleagues in different functions and parts of the world as the one in the next-door office. Simultaneously, the value that employees create is becoming more interdependent on other employees’ work, placing a premium on what CEB research calls “network performance.” Research finds that workforces that excel at both individual task performance and network performance can boost year-over-year revenue growth by 11% and profit growth by 5%. This change in the nature of work requires firms to reengineer how they attract, develop, and manage employees.
Changing needs of internal clients: For corporate functions, internal customers or clients seem to be increasingly difficult to serve. Line managers’ need to work with – and depend on – more colleagues, to manage a wider portfolio of products, and to serve more knowledgeable and demanding customers (see trends 3 and 4) has meant they must claim more authority and freedom in their decision making.
That requires internal service providers — from IT to HR to risk management to strategy development – to enable their clients to do much of the work that those same providers used to do. And that requires a shift in the support they provide, from prescriptive templates and rules to guidance and context that helps line managers make intelligent decisions, such as about provisioning their own technology.
Changing nature of the consumer: Consumers’ access to information, and an increasing need to approve of a company as well as the products it sells before making a purchase, means firms must communicate more authentically with customers, and make sure the branded experience they promise matches the reality of consuming and interacting with their products.
For example, millennials (those born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s) demand social relevance, the opportunity for self-expression (customizing the home screen of their smartphone for example), and a sense of belonging from the products they buy, and from the “experience” that comes with those products. In the US alone, brands that fall short in millennial consumers’ eyes risk losing touch with one-quarter of the population. And worse, this segment makes up the majority of first-time homebuyers and new parents, and commands $1.68 trillion in annual consumer spending.
Changing nature of B2B customers: As the complexity of business-to-business deals – for anything from a large corporate stationery order to enterprise software – has risen, so too has customers’ risk aversion and the number of stakeholders that must sign off on a given purchase. CEB research shows that 5.4 people are involved in the average B2B buying process. The consensus these groups require to make a decision makes the buying process longer, and a lot more difficult for sales rep. This is something that buyers and suppliers alike must learn to overcome. Without any intervention, sale cycles extend, and both buyers and suppliers walk away with smaller deals than either side wanted.
Changing impact of information: No one in business needs to be told that that the information we can all access is growing exponentially, but executives underappreciate the toll that it takes on the users of that information. People struggle as they hit the limits of their cognitive ability to process, make sense of, and ultimately put to use the huge and varied array of information at their fingertips. From consumers to senior executives, people are aware of more options than they were in the past. They have access to more information to aid them in the decision-making process, and yet they struggle more to make decisions and often fail. CEB research also shows that the cost of poor decision making can be upward of $375 million. Leaders in the organization need to make information helpful, not harmful, to decision making.
The past achievements are a weak predictor for future way of working
What were we used doing during the past decade in HR? Maybe, you can help me with a few attributes
>> Standardization >> Consolidation >> Alignment >> Efficiency >> BPO >> SelfService >> HCM, etc.
This were all the right things to do. Though now I would say hindsight tells us that „...a few things just don‘t feel being right...“ or maybe missing:
>> Involvement (SSC‘s, stakeholders, employees, HR‘s) >> Collaboration (Pharma case of 2MUSD dump bc of data privacy – s.o. knew), Grading rollout with comms at last being pulled
>> Labor arbitrage problem >> short leadtime to react on acquisitions, tech.change, business exposure, global market
