In a hypercompetitive climate characterized by constant disruption, talent is a must-have weapon for long-term survival. With the war for talent at a peak, companies are devoting more resources—and a greater share of the CEO’s time—to finding and keeping the best.
Too often, companies manage to woo top talent only to lose them to competitors within months. An effective onboarding program can increase three-year retention by two thirds and first-year productivity by close to 50 percent. And as millennials and post-millennials become a larger part of the workforce, engagement starting on day one is becoming the new table stakes in the war for talent.
As companies attempt to anticipate and counter inevitable disruption, CEOs must try to predict, as accurately as possible, what the world will look like over the next five to 10 years, where the company will fit into new and emerging ecosystems, and how it will get to where it needs to be to stay relevant and profitable.
Technology-driven innovation and the next generations are disrupting traditional sales models, and organizations must adapt their growth strategies to survive. In this white paper, you’ll learn how to shift your model to remain competitive in this new marketplace and gain insights into the practices of nearly 400 CEOs we surveyed on the issue in June 2019.
From a competitive standpoint, alignment may well be the most powerful weapon in a CEO’s arsenal. In this whitepaper, learn how to take advantage of the unrealized opportunities of alignment, and how to translate your strategic goals into employee actions at every level across your organization.
In an era characterized by rampant disruption and rapidly transforming industries, the one challenge all companies have in common is navigating change. This whitepaper looks at what CEOs can do to motivate, inspire, and retain high performers during times of organizational change?
Today’s heads of HR require a broader range of business knowledge, as well as a deep understanding of the technological advances, demographic shifts and global competitive landscape, to continually anticipate business needs and position the company and its employees to meet them.
More than 70 percent of CEOs are considering some kind of merger, acquisition or divestiture activity in the next three years, according to results of a recent study. Here’s how to master M&A in the digital age.
We’ve asked nearly 300 U.S. CEOs to share their experiences with recruiting veterans in hope to bring you a list of best practices. Read what other business leaders had to say about attracting and enlisting this diverse talent pool.
At a time when entire industries are being upended by disruptive technologies, the need for companies of all sizes to continually innovate and evolve is more pressing than ever.
