The document discusses taking the "governance" out of information governance by focusing on business benefits rather than regulatory compliance. Seeing information governance as an expensive overhead with little value risks half-hearted implementation and wasted investment. Alternatively, closely aligning information governance with organizational goals like cost reduction, efficiency and customer service can gain buy-in by demonstrating how better information management contributes to achieving those goals. This approach helps obtain commitment while also supporting non-governance business areas.

Big data and advanced analytics present both opportunities and challenges for companies. While large amounts of new data are being generated through social media and sensors, leaders are hesitant to invest without knowing how to implement analytics successfully. Additionally, companies often already have useful internal data but managers don't know how to apply it to decision making. It is important for companies to creatively source both internal and external data and develop strategies to leverage analytics for key business problems and decisions.

Automated access controls can help companies reduce fraud, increase efficiency, and ensure the right employees have the right access to information. Manual access management processes are time-wasting and error-prone. More organizations are implementing automated, rule-based solutions to provide users with the appropriate access levels while reducing fraud risks, costs, and improving processes.

This document discusses both the promises and limitations of using big data analytics to predict job performance. While big data can provide insights, the metrics used may not capture all important factors, and algorithms can make flawed assumptions. Personality tests alone cannot determine who will succeed in a role, and a manager focusing only on short-term targets may hurt the organization long-term. The strongest evaluations come from people familiar with an individual's past performance and behavior over time. Managers should consider statistical analysis carefully alongside other factors to avoid uncertainty and make effective decisions.

What People Analytics Can’t Capture" by Daniel GolemanSai Sandeep MN
Daniel Goleman cautions that people analytics has limitations in assessing people and management performance. Using only outcomes like earnings to evaluate executives ignores other important factors like their impact on employee morale, loyalty, and stress. Many soft aspects of performance are difficult to capture, such as integrity and compassion, which are strong drivers of business success. The best predictor of future behavior is past performance as evaluated by those who know the person well, which people analytics does not account for.

COVID-19: The future of organisations and the future of technical communicationEllis Pratt
The COVID-19 coronavirus is having a huge impact on people and organisations. With so many things that could be about to change, how should technical communicators respond? What’s your plan for the future?
In this presentation, we looked at:
How organisations might change during and after the COVID-19 lockdown
What that means for technical communication, and how you can come back stronger than ever
What technical communicators can do to help, and how you can deal with this crisis
How other technical communicators responded when we asked them for their views
- Payroll is a critical function that manages large expenses but is often seen as low risk. However, lack of improvement and changing regulations can increase risks.
- Technological advancements provide opportunities to improve efficiency and access valuable employee data, but many organizations have outdated systems.
- A strong governance framework is needed to manage risks like fraud, errors and non-compliance with changing regulations. Regular reviews of capabilities are important.
- Interpreting varying industrial agreements adds complexity, so payroll teams need support and training. Globalization further increases these challenges.
Finance Crunsh Time Reporting | Deloitte Indiaaakash malhotra
Reporting is an essential function of every organization because it tracks an employee's performance. But superiors are wasting a lot of time in creating and updating reports; rather, they should use that time to communicate with subordinates. This can be possible only when the whole reporting function gets automated in the organization.
The document discusses predictions for the future of finance in 2025. Key points include:
1. Finance operations will become highly automated through technologies like blockchain and robots. Transactions will be "touchless."
2. With operations automated, finance professionals will focus on business insights and service. Data scientists and those who understand both technology and business will be in high demand.
3. Finance reporting and forecasting will be done in real-time rather than on traditional cycles. Algorithms and data scientists will produce continuous forecasts.
4. Self-service of basic finance tasks through chatbots and intuitive interfaces will become the norm, though some in finance may be uneasy about less direct involvement.

The picture is indeed meant to startle — he doesn’t like the facts.docxssusera34210
This document discusses the high failure rates of IT projects, citing several studies that found between 40-80% of projects fail to meet objectives. The main reasons for failure are people-based factors like poor communication between parties, lack of focus among team members, and lack of engagement from business stakeholders. To improve success rates, the document recommends strengthening the relationship between technology and business teams through governance, planning, communication, and focusing on people skills.
With advancing technologies, many organizations are focused more than ever on recruiting—particularly for skills they
need to succeed, such as expertise in data science, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. These hard-to-find and
hard-to-hire skills—like so many other skilled professions—cost a lot to recruit. With labor pools shrinking, retaining
talent at every level is critical. Recruiting is more expensive than retention, which can be optimized via training or
creating a culture of constant learning. Choosing recruitment over retention also has a negative effect on employees,
who are left to wonder why their work seems to have less value than that of a new employee.
In this environment, it becomes clear that value lies in the engagement of employees—making sure they are actively
contributing to the company while learning new skills and advancing their own careers. But how to measure something
as intangible as engagement?
Why aren’t you planning for success? - How a lack of strategic IT workforce p...Kelly Services
This document discusses a survey conducted by Kelly Services on IT workforce planning. The survey found that over half of respondents had not created a strategic workforce plan in the last year to identify future IT staffing needs. While nearly 60% of IT leaders believed skills gaps would negatively impact their business, many organizations faced challenges implementing workforce planning due to issues like budget constraints and communication breakdowns between departments. The document recommends that organizations undertake strategic workforce planning, improve communication between business units and IT, and forecast emerging IT trends to develop their workforces for future needs.
This document discusses issues with financial processes and systems in mid-sized companies. It finds that over 60% of finance staff see a need to improve processes, and nearly 30% of other staff find financial data inaccurate. However, companies often do not address these issues due to perceived lack of time or belief that changes will not be made. Better financial systems could lower costs, improve cash flow and support better decision making. The document advocates for automating processes to reduce errors and free up staff time to add more value.

Profitability Survey
Background

The Profitability Story
Deltek teamed with Consulting Magazine to bring you a better understanding of what drives
profitable projects. You’ll be surprised with what we discovered.
A diverse group of 250 respondents – whose roles ranged from Managing Partner to Senior
Consultant to Manager – represented a variety of firms, with half below $50M in revenue
and slightly more than 40% with 1,000+ employees.
We asked: What percentage of
your firm’s projects fail to meet
expected profit margins?
We asked: What are the top
3 reasons projects aren’t as
profitable as you might expect?
Interesting…
50% of firms find at least 1 in 10 engagements
aren’t as profitable as they’d hoped. And 1 in 5 firms don’t
know how often their projects miss expectations!
The first step to becoming more profitable is knowing how
often engagements aren’t meeting profit expectations.
Then you can figure out why. Can you know, at any point, if
an engagement is on-track for expected profitability?
Interesting…
Not every firm knows which projects are unprofitable, or how
often – but most have ideas about the reasons why. “Scope
Creep” is by far the guilty party, but in more than 50% of all firms,
Inaccurate SOW’s are a partner-in-crime.
Unsurprising that nearly 75% of firms say “scope creep” is the
most frequent profit drain... But could scope creep be avoided
through more accurate scoping? Or with more control over new
work requests before consultants could accept them? Perhaps
better information would lead to more accurate scoping, and
earlier alerts for when scope creep first starts.

2 in 3 firms indicate Tracking & Reporting on Project Progress
as one of their most cumbersome and time-consuming
administrative tasks.
Wow! Project profitability is among the most crucial success
factors for consulting firms – yet from the front lines to
management, all say tracking profitability is one of their
most cumbersome tasks. Perhaps missing hours, outdated
information, or inaccurate data is to blame. How many
e-mails and phone calls – or those pesky non-billable internal
meetings – does it take to figure it all out?
Interesting…
1 in 2 firms have 3 or more administrative or project-management
systems. So much information, in so many different places…
Is yours among the 50% of firms operating in a jungle of
disconnected project-management and administrative systems?
You’re not alone – and perhaps struggling to connect people with
the information they need. Getting on a path to consistent
project profitability means planning more accurately, and
responding correctly when plans need to change. Why not make
this a little easier? Look to a single management system that will
connect information and processes across the entire organization.
