3 steps to enterprise talent success with Performance ProfilesInfor HCM
Do you know the keys to a high performance culture? Can you describe what success in your company's key roles looks like? If not, you're not alone. Over one-third of organizations in Brandon Hall Group’s recent skills gap survey have not defined the critical roles required to enable their future business success. Knowing the traits that lead to performance in particular jobs is a core task for the modern HR function, but creating an accurate picture of success can be difficult. By turning to data, many successful organizations are building "Performance Profiles" that help them reduce staff turnover, boost productivity and accelerate time to performance. This webinar will address the latest research on Performance Management, the science behind Performance Profiles, and how they can be deployed in the HCM cycle. In this Slideshare, Laci Loew, VP and Principal Analyst of Brandon Hall Group's Talent Management Practice, and Jason Taylor, Infor’s Chief HCM Scientist will explore the following:
Critical trends in using data to define success, and the talent science behind it
How to develop high-quality Performance Profiles for your organization
Turning data into action – how profiles accelerate time to performance for new hires, identify low performers, and support development efforts through data-driven insights
The importance of mobile tools for managing and measuring performance
Managing employee and manager expectations around Performance Profiles

Your choice of candidate assessment technology could help your business or leave it floundering. Are you equipped to make the right decision?
Assessment technologies now provide such a competitive edge that they have become an essential business tool. Research demonstrates that implementing the right technology boosts productivity, reduces staff turnover and has a direct bottom-line impact. But how do you make the right choice?
Infor’s Chief HCM Scientist Jason Taylor explains the best way to select and deploy talent assessment technology, and then how to study and ensure its effectiveness. Jason explores both the key technological considerations and the increasingly complex legal and business implications of assessment:
The technology – is it truly cloud-based and ready to integrate?
The methodology – is it legally and scientifically sound?
The testing – how do you ensure it works for your business?

Change Lessons Learned - Implementing a Kanban System for Enterprise AgilityShoaib Shaukat
Continuous Improvements is the goal dear to everyone however traditionally governed organisations struggle to achieve meaningful enterprise wide improvement due to cultural and structural constraints. Often top down change initiatives and projects are launched with grand improvement goals without understanding the constraints of the existing system and implications for the wider organisation.
In this case study based presentation I want to share the experience of designing and implementing a Continuous Improvements program at one of the major utility company within Melbourne. This program has disrupted the way people do their work.
Eight business units and 7 IT delivery groups linked to this new system to do their work in a collaborative and transparent manner, thus increasing the trust between business and IT. Within first 4 months of introduction, this program reduced a growing backlog of IT wide system change requests by 70%.
This program is now being operationalised within the organisation while providing many learnings for the management and opening new management possibilities for future.

Notice the difference.
I’ve assigned a score of the 60 points for the first stage at this point. I encourage you to redo this paper and pay much more attention to the instructions given for stage 1.

Introduction
CIC was established in 2004 and has been in business since then. The company has been working through the years by adopting a strategy of adopting new business concepts and technology to give customers the best business solutions. Adopting best practices in tis operations has been a key part in the success of the company. The company’s operations involves bringing IT consultants to the client and offering the services that they require. The industry however is ever growing amidst new technologies and heightened competition. CIC therefore has had to struggle to get new clients as well as maintain their old ones. Quality staff is one of the things that differentiates CIC from the rest. They bring in a lot of experience and knowledge enabling them to serve the customers better.
This section (above is not directly addressing it’s purpose.) What is the purpose of this report? What is it going to provide? How will you improve things, what are your steps? (read the requirements for this paragraph).
Strategic Use of Technology (MISSING)
Structure of the Organization
The strategy of the company involves provision of excellent services to the clients by incorporating new technologies and concepts. Introducing a new hiring system will support this strategy by the company because highly skilled consultants are key in driving their vision. The new hiring system will enable the company to source for the best consultants and with the highest credentials. Adopting a new hiring system will also eliminate the time that’s wasted before the consultant comes on board. The company is anticipating some big clients and a new team will be able to eliminate any errors that might occur in service delivery.

A FormVerse White Paper
September, 2014
Process Automation, Forms and the Integrated Back Office
Summary
Companies with integrated back-office activities enjoy a 97% greater annual improvement in
customer satisfaction rates, and demonstrated an increase in meeting quality related SLAs that
was nearly 5 times that of companies with poor back-office activities.
“Best-in-Class”i
companies do the following to achieve an integrated back office (in ranked order):
1. Remap and re-engineer processes to be more efficient
2. Promote collaboration between disparate business processes and units
3. Improve visibility into workflows
4. Involve the line of business in more business strategy decisions
5. Build-in compliance and traceability to business processes
Forms and Forms Management play an important role in re-engineering processes to be more
efficient.
Steps to build a “Best-in-Class” Integrated Back Office
5 important considerations when selecting a process automation tool:
1) Simplification- use what you have!
2) Find a tool that is easy for end-users!
3) Find a tool that integrates with your other systems!
4) Find a tool that gives you the Agility you need to react to changes in the business!
5) Find a tool that makes it easy for departments to create their own workflows!

Improving employee productivity and Integrated Back Office programs can have
a huge impact on an organization’s bottom line!
That’s the finding of a recent study by the Aberdeen Group.
You might have wondered: What does “Back-Office” really mean? We hear the term often thrown
around to cover everything from Accounts Payable to Shipping and Receiving. Well that’s about
right, it’s a catch-all term for all of the programs and activities that companies conduct without
directly interfacing with customers or prospects. And according to Aberdeen, Integrated Back-
Office Activities are formal programs through which companies constantly strive to improve the
productivity and performance of employees who work in the Back-Officeii
.
Importance of an Integrated Back-Office
How important is an Integrated Back-Office? A studyiii
from late 2013 performed by Aberdeen
shows that “companies with integrated back-office activities enjoy a 97% greater annual
improvement in customer satisfaction rates, compared to those with poor back-office activities.”
That’s almost twice the improvement! That should be enough get your attention, but even more
surprising is that companies with integrated back-office activities demonstrated an increase in
meeting quality related SLAs that was nearly 5 times that of companies with poor back-office
activities.iv
Even though the back-office is not directly responsible for driving revenue, it’s responsible for
keeping customers happy, which means they’ll probably buy more!
Top 10 Organizational Business Priorities
Each year the highly respected consulting firm, Gartner Inc. surveysv vi
up to 2,300 CIOs, and every
year the top ten business priorities include these items:
Reducing Enterprise Costs
Delivering Operational Results
Improving Efficiency
Increasing Enterprise Growth
Improving IT Applications and Infrastructure
These are all priorities affected by an organization’s back office. Increased efficiency, increased
employee productivity, improved operational results, improved applications and infrastructure
are all things that help drive enterprise growth. Gartner’s research further highlights the need for
a strong Back Office, and the need for implementation of Integrated Back Office Programs.
How Does My Organization Get There?
What are these Integrated Back Office programs, and how does an organization implement them?

Aberdeen points to a surveyvii
they did in July of 2013 for the answers. In this survey, Aberdeen
interviewed over 400 corporations and found that “Best-in-Class”viii
companies do the following:
Remap and re-engineer processes to be more efficient
Promote collaboration between disparate business processes and units
Improve visibility into workflows
Involve the line of business in more business strategy decisions
Build-in compliance and traceability to business processes
Of all of these tools mentioned, the ones used most by surveyed organizations are: Re-
engineering of processes, and the Promotion of collaboration between processes and
departments, or Sharing of information between systems and departments. According the
Aberdeen’s survey, these two strategies have helped Best-in-Class organizations reduce cycle
time of key business process by 18% in the 12 month period preceding the survey! While the
industry average was a mere 4% decrease. That is an improvement of 450% above the industry
average.
Of course, visibility and measurement are key requirements in achieving these kinds of results.
Aberdeen’s survey points out that Best-in-Class companies are twice as likely as other companies
to be able to measure those cycle times, and have real time visibility into the status of all
processes. Best-in-Class organizations are also more agile and can react quickly to update
processes as new best practices emerge.
What is the Role of Forms in Reengineering Business Processes?
Contrary to what some technology firms would like us to believe, forms are “here to stay”! For
centuries, forms have been used as a way to standardize the collection of data. Processes and
their related forms are today, as in the day of Abraham Lincoln, an integral part of keeping
organizations running. The larger the organization, the more processes and the more forms that
are required to keep things running smoothly.
In a recent article, consulting group IDC’s Director of Workflow Solutions, Ron Glaz dissects an
IDC survey of 421 organizationsix
to find that the top functional areas targeted for process
automation include: Accounting, Human Resources, and Financial. x
The majority of business processes identified in the study were forms based, and author Glaz
states that the IDC study also determined that Forms Management is one of the key drivers for
organizations to implement process automation projects!
At FormVerse we see managing forms and workflows to be a big challenge for our clients.
Management of organizations are faced with questions like:
How do I manage different versions of my forms?
How do we get the correct form (most recent version) to the employee?

How do we ensure that management responds to a form/request in a timely manner?
What is the workflow protocol when a first line manager is on vacation?
How long do we have to retain forms?
How do we dispose of requests/forms correctly?
Employees ask questions like:
What form do I use?
Where do I find the correct form?
Where is my form in the process?
What is the correct entry for that field?
Who do I give my form to?
My boss is on vacation, who do I give my form to?
Why do I have to reenter the same information on different forms or in different places?
Did I send that form? What did I send?
It’s no wonder that one of the top five reasons for organizations to automate business processes
last year was Forms Management!
Steps to Build a Best-in-Class Integrated Back Office
We know where it is your organization needs to go, and we know the key areas to focus on. But,
how do organizations:
Reengineer business processes?
Share information between systems and departments?
Measure cycle times?
Receive status on processes?
React quickly and update processes when needed, and become more agile?
Well, most of the Best-in-Class organizations in the Aberdeen study rely on Business Process
Management (BMP) solutions. Those with BPM solutions saw 9 times the decrease in cycle times
vs. those organizations without BPM solutions in place!xi
They also saw 5 times the improvement
in response times to client requests. But the real proof is that corporations with BPM solutions
showed an 8% improvement in profit margins over the previous 24 months than those without a
Business Process Management solution.
The question is: How does a firm quickly and easily automate business processes without
breaking the bank? Especially when for the average organization, most Business Process
Automation (BPA) tools are either too expensive or too cumbersome to use on anything that is not
mission critical.
Selecting Your Business Process Management Tools
In a recent white paperxii
by the database behemoth, Oracle Corporation, the author points out
that “The B in BPM stands for Business, and these are the people who interact with the process on
a regular basis, who understand the operational limitations, and who have ideas for improving the

process. There is an increasing desire among the business users to get into the driver’s seat while
creating business applications. Business users want to manage the design and execution of
business processes.”
With that statement in mind, here are four points to consider as you are looking for a process
automation system:
1. Simplification- use what you have!
a. Your organization chose Microsoft, and it spent a lot of money on that
infrastructure, so why not make use of it? If your firm is like most, you have
Microsoft products running nearly every facet of the business. Your office
automation platform runs on Microsoft (Office), your email system is Microsoft
(Outlook), your databases are Microsoft (SQL, SharePoint). Pretty much
everything runs on Microsoft technology! Find a business process automation tool
that can leverage that existing Microsoft Infrastructure.
2. Find a tool that is easy for end-users!
a. No one is going to use a new tool if it’s not easy. Pick a tool that uses an
environment that end-users already know and understand. Far too many
organizations select full featured, state of the art technologies, only to find out that
end-uses refuse to use them. Or, that use of the new system has to be forced upon
end-users in a way that causes internal strife/resistance. The tool has to be EASY
for employees!
3. Find a tool that integrates with your other systems!
a. A wise philosopher once said: Automation for the sake of automation is folly
(roughly translated)! If your business process automation system does not make it
easy to integrate with your other systems, it’s not worth it. Start over! Again,
Microsoft is prevalent in your firm, make sure the tool you select uses Microsoft as
the basis for its technology, and that integrating with your ERP, HR, or CRM is
simple and smooth.
4. Find a tool that makes it easy for departments to create their own workflows!
a. It seems like creating workflows with some tools require a PhD. Sure, there are
tools with very advanced functionality, but If IT (or even worse, a consultant) has to
be involved with creating every workflow, it could take forever! Choose a tool that
someone in Operations can actually use, that’s the only way that you’ll have the
agility to really make a difference.
5. Find a tool that gives you the Agility you need to react to changes in the business!

a. In its white paper on Business Driven Process Management, Oracle points out that
“Business agility is all about being able to adapt to the changing circumstances.”
(….if your systems are not designed to change easily, even the most efficient
organization with good business visibility will be at a disadvantage. If there is a
need to change the business process due to change in business demands, you
should be able to make that change immediately.” We couldn’t agree more!
Where does FormVerse fit in?
A tool that is Easy-to-Use for both end-users and management, that leverages your Existing
Infrastructure, that individual departments to can use to Create their Own Workflows, and
Quickly Change those Workflows as needed, is what we’ve created with FormVerse.
Today, the vast majority of business processes in corporations and government organizations are
performed manually using paper forms, fax, and electronic forms attached to emails. Larger
companies may have legacy BPA/BPM systems in place (e.g., IBM, Appian, Metastorm (OpenText),
Oracle, SAP, etc.), but these systems are too expensive to use on anything but the most mission
critical business processes. In addition, employees often have to switch from application to
application to carry out business processes (e.g., from email to Excel or Word, or to an ERP/CRM
module, or to a workflow-based application such as an expense report management tool). All of
this is highly inefficient and ineffective, resulting in wasted time and resources, significant
unnecessary costs, and poor responsiveness to process participants (both internal and external to
the company). Ultimately, this negatively impacts a company’s productivity and bottom line as well
as its agility in the marketplace.
FormVerse’s solution to this challenge is to leverage the organization’s current email
communications infrastructure (Microsoft Exchange/Outlook) and automate manual business
processes within Outlook, an application in which users already spend a large percentage of their
timexiii
and are completely familiar with the user interface. FormVerse’s patented Active
Structured Email™ technology adds structured forms and workflow capabilities to Outlook,
transforming corporate email from an informal, unstructured medium to a highly structured one,
and enabling organizations to leverage email as an agile and ubiquitous BPA tool. Process
templates and forms are easily designed and published by business users for use within the
Outlook application, without requiring support from IT. Process participants never have to leave
Outlook to participate in their portion of the process. Any data collected through the processes
can be easily extracted and integrated with existing ERP/CRM applications and enterprise
databases, enabling more timely and informed decisions associated with these processes.
With the FormVerse solution, manual business processes can be quickly and easily automated
within an environment (Microsoft Outlook) that is already well known and used by all participants,
in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost of using legacy BPA/BPM systems. By
automating these manual processes, the company will achieve significant time and cost savings
through greater efficiencies, as well as more timely and accurate results.

Key features of the FormVerse solution include:
Full integration with Microsoft Outlook – FormVerse is fully integrated with Microsoft
Outlook as an extension, and can be deployed on any Outlook-enabled desktop.
Embedded structured forms in emails – FormVerse emails contain embedded XML-based
forms (Microsoft InfoPath) that enable data to be collected in a structured manner, which
allows automated processing of information via processing rules, automated extraction
and storage in a database, and integration with other enterprise applications.
User-transparent use of FormVerse emails – FormVerse emails containing electronic forms
within the Microsoft Outlook environment are sent as regular emails, and can be managed
and archived just like regular emails.
Policy-driven emails – Each FormVerse email is designed to meet the requirements of the
recipient and to ensure that vital data and information important to the recipient will be
processed and actioned appropriately and in a timely manner.
FormVerse access rules - FormVerse administrators can define specific rules regarding
which users have access to which forms. Once defined, authorized users can start a
process by simply choosing an email-based form from a drop down menu within Microsoft
Outlook.
FormVerse processing rules – FormVerse administrators can define specific rules for the
processing of FormVerse structured emails to ensure that the emails are routed to the
appropriate person next in line in the process until the entire process is complete.
Processing rules also determine if and when data contained within a FormVerse email
needs to be extracted and where the extracted data should be placed (e.g., an enterprise
application or database).
Workflow execution capabilities – The FormVerse system can execute complex business
workflows against pre-defined access and processing rules.
Visual design for business workflows – Business workflows are designed with FormVerse
Workflow Editor, an intuitive and user-friendly graphical editor. Visualized workflow
diagrams provide a straightforward way to review, understand and simplify even the most
complex business processes.
Easy integration with other enterprise applications – FormVerse emails can be used as an
effective way to securely collect data, which can then be extracted based on recipient
defined processing rules and integrated with enterprise applications and databases.
Key benefits of the FormVerse BPA solution include:
Lower implementation costs and faster time to benefit versus legacy BPA/BPM systems – Legacy
BPA/BPM systems are very expensive from a software purchase, implementation, and
ongoing maintenance perspective. Implementing with FormVerse is much more cost-
effective.
Ongoing cost savings due to efficiency and productivity increases – By automating existing
manual processes, companies gain significant cost savings due to greater efficiencies and

productivity across the organization as well as reduced opportunity costs (employees
spend less time dealing with inefficient manual processes and more time on the higher
priority, more strategic aspects of their job).
Greater ease of use, resulting in more rapid adoption of the automated business processes –
FormVerse applications are designed to be developed, deployed, and used by business
users. Process forms, templates and business rules are designed using an intuitive
graphical interface based on Microsoft InfoPath and are deployed within the ubiquitous
Microsoft Outlook environment. This will result in faster and more complete adoption by
the organization, leading to the corresponding cost and efficiency benefits.
Better, more informed decisions – By enabling the rapid automation of existing manual
processes and collecting the data disseminated through these processes for integration
with enterprise applications and databases, FormVerse enables more timely and informed
decisions associated with these processes.

FormVerse Overview
1. The Originator begins the process by opening a new email message and selecting the
Templates icon, which displays a list of processes he/she has access to.
2. After the Originator selects the desired process, the XML form populates directly inside of
the Outlook message where the Originator has the ability to populate the form with the
necessary information. Where specific responses are required, the form displays “drop-
down” boxes which can be populated from a database or other information source. The
Originator hits “Send”, and the form goes off to the next appointed step in the process. The
workflow is designed and built into the FormVerse system. Workflows can change based
on field entries on the form.

3. The Approver (in this case the COO) receives the form and has the ability to take “Action”
on it, in this case Approve or Deny. However, other actions (Defer, Review, etc.) can be
used as well.
4. After the approver selects “Approved”, a new form is appended to the message (approval
form). This is completed by the approver who then hits “Send”, and the form travels to its
next assigned destination in the workflow. This is step is repeated with other approvers
until the process is complete.

5. At any point in the process the Originator can go to his/her Sent Folder to see where the
form is in the process.
6. Creating workflows with FormVerse’ graphical user interface is easy. FormVerse was
created for business people and departments to create workflows, without requiring the
assistance of the IT department.
