Summary
Annotation "It is becoming increasingly clear that companies must be able to formulate business strategies, product and service strategies and internal operating strategies that accelerate the creation and delivery of customer value. Ulwick introduces a strategy formulation theory and process that allows firms to create strategies that consistently produce breakthrough results. The application of advanced modeling and pattern detection techniques is used in both the design of the theory and in the process it initiates; its application can result in strategies and solutions that deliver up to ten times more value than those created using traditional methods. Ulwick introduces a process called the Customer-Driven Mission Achievement Process (CD-MAP), now successfully used by many large companies to formulate and assess strategies at every organizational level. This book will help practitioners in any company improve their operations and their competitive position."--BOOK JACKET. Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Summary
In good times and bad times, in tight labor markets or soft ones, businesses need highly skilled talent. And, in order to grow, they need to find and deploy that talent in focused ways. The old bottom-up, reactionary, "fast-fill-best-candidate" approach does not contribute to long-term business success. The far better method is to align workforce planning initiatives to corporate objectives- in a word, to strategize. This highly practical book offers a blueprint for linking business strategies to talent strategies. It starts with the premise that for staffing strategies to be effective, they must be responsive to changes both within and outside the organization. Successful Talent Strategies then buts through the clutter of often-contradictory talent management practices by offering two new concepts: Talent Flow: employing people at the right time, in the right numbers, with the right mix of skills and capabilities, under the right terms of employment; and Talent Engagement: aligning individual competencies with strategic objectives, maximizing the mutual value of the exchange between employer and employee. Author David Sears shows you how to design talent strategies with the same forethought, care and commitment that go into all business strategies. You'll learn to: Analyze the elements of a workable business strategy Conceive you talent strategies using value propositions, objectives, and strategy mapping Source, recruit, hire, and retain talent strategically, in part through crucial pre- and post-employment relationship activities Move from administrative "silos" (i.e., separate focuses on rewards, performance, and training) toward broader and more transformational strategies Measure and improve your talent strategy results with an eye toward cost savings and customer-perceived value Successful Talent Strategies also gives you practical, real-world examples of how successful companies such as The Container Store, General Electric, Lands' End, and Prudential Financial are putting these strategies into action. Not least, Successful Talent Strategies can help make a forceful difference in your organization's future by providing a common framework for business executives and human resources professionals, who often work at cross-purposes on staffing issues.
