People Matters’ Post

Last evening, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the HR and L&D Leaders Roundtable Discussion organized by Skillsoft in collaboration with ObserveNow Media. The event, titled "How to Adapt and Thrive: Navigating the Skilling Revolution with Innovative Workforce Transformation," was a deep dive into the future of workforce development and the critical role of continuous learning. Discussion Highlights: > Understanding the Skilling Revolution > Fostering a Culture of Continuous Upskilling and Reskilling > Leadership Development in the Age of GenAI > Best Practices for Effective Learning Programs Key Takeaways: > Challenges & Possible Solutions of IT and Non-IT Industries: Both sectors face unique challenges in the skilling revolution. IT industries must keep pace with rapid technological changes, while non-IT industries need to integrate digital skills into their traditional frameworks. > Stakeholder Management & Business Sponsorship: Effective stakeholder management and securing business sponsorship are crucial for the success of learning and development initiatives. Engaging stakeholders early and aligning L&D goals with business objectives can drive better outcomes. > Innovating Learning Practices: Innovation in learning practices, such as leveraging AI and immersive technologies, can significantly enhance the learning experience and effectiveness. Organizations must be open to experimenting with new methods to stay relevant. Attending this roundtable was an enlightening experience, and I am excited to implement these insights to drive impactful change within our organization. Let's continue to champion the skilling revolution and prepare our workforce for the future!

Are your Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) missing the mark? Setting OKRs is hard; setting the right ones is even harder. Many companies adopt OKRs to drive alignment and focus. But without the proper approach and rigor, OKRs can fall short. The truth is, most companies struggle with OKRs. Despite best intentions, they end up frustrating employees rather than motivating them. Here are some do's and don'ts of OKRs: DO's: 1. Align OKRs with company priorities: The whole point of OKRs is to focus effort on what matters most. Make sure your OKRs ladder up to overarching company goals. 2. Make objectives qualitative and inspirational: Bland and fluffy objectives diminish the effectiveness of OKRs. 3. Limit 3-5 objectives per quarter with max 5 key results per objective: Having more objectives or key results leads to scattered focus. 4. Make OKRs challenging but achievable: Stretch for excellence, but keep targets grounded in reality. Shoot for 60-70% achievement. 5. Celebrate wins, even small ones: Recognize efforts to motivate your team. DON'Ts: 1. Set objectives like tasks: OKRs indicate the most important priorities of the company and are not something to be checked off. 2. Use vague language: Vague and uninspiring OKRs lead to lackluster results. 3. Make key results that can't be measured: Unmeasurable and non-time-bound key results simply can't be achieved. 4. Set OKRs without employee input: Don't dictate OKRs top-down; collaboration aids alignment. 5. Forget to re-evaluate and update OKRs regularly: Don't set and forget; consistency is key. With the right approach, OKRs can focus efforts, drive results, and boost engagement. But it requires avoiding common pitfalls. Follow these dos and don'ts, and your OKRs will start delivering on their promise. What has helped make your OKRs successful? We'd love to hear your insights! #leadership #hrtech #hr #okrs #goalsetting

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of catching up with an old grad school pal and decorated HR Leader, Logan Scott. While we were catching up and chatting about emerging trends in the HR arena, this concept really stuck with me in terms of Gen AI, People Analytics, and Workforce Planning: HR should harness leadership development practices as effectively as sales teams utilize CRM tools. For instance, just as sales teams meticulously track and engage their top prospects using CRM systems, HR can implement similar tools to identify high-potential leaders, monitor their development progress, and personalize engagement strategies. Imagine using a leadership development platform where HR can see detailed profiles of each employee, track their growth milestones, set personalized development goals, and receive alerts for timely check-ins and feedback sessions. This approach ensures that promising leaders are nurtured with the same precision and dedication as key sales prospects, leading to better employee retention and improved organizational performance. This was such a great nugget and I would love to see such a GTM offering. There are so many thought leaders coming out of the Cornell University ILR School! #peopleanalytics #genai #workforceplanning #hr
