Case Studies
Previous projects have given us insight into the types of challenges faced by people decision makers.
Challenges we respond to are usually competency framework driven as businesses strive to: use resources efficiently, manage return on investment, improve alignment to strategy and develop improved productivity.
The demonstrable business benefits to valuing people
It is clear that the costs of not valuing people are considerable. Mismanaging resources or making decisions without having supporting facts can waste considerable resources – at times it may be better to approach productivity differently and make more strategic decisions. Sometimes it is about knowing which buttons to press and in what order to deliver the change you desire, too often change is driven from just one or two points when a more rounded approach will actually yield results. Although the right course of action may be clear, communicating this is a different matter; evidence based decision making has the power to achieve this. Often, it is a communication challenge to get across the points with enough persuasive power in order to get the resources or changes you need in the business.
These five case studies describe how we have helped our clients to overcome some of these problems.
- Case 1: Leveraging development where it really makes a difference meant a 32% budget saving and 2½ person years of time and opportunity costs view case study
- Case 2: Appreciating how to influence results meant this business could drive sales performance and unlock +£250K of potential view case study
- Case 3: Profiling top performance closed the loop between development and business outcomes; focussing on the 40% of competencies that actually count view case study
- Case 4: Being able to predict leadership potential from technical competencies improved successful leadership selection by 26% view case study
- Case 5: Local success but strategic failure was the result of focussing on the wrong feedback, until we took a different view of this multi-rater data view case study
We have found that these approaches:
- Ensure the right things are done in the right way
- Deliver a timely response and reduce syndication and debate around decisions
- Make the very best use of budget and resource
Innovative solutions and working together
Challenging questions often require innovative solutions; by combining creativity with statistical knowledge, interpretation and presentation, Management Informatics gives its clients a competitive people advantage.
