Working beyond Borders – HR Leadership Study by IBM
IBM has recently completed a study on the Social Workplace, based on conversations with over 700 Chief Human Resource Officers worldwide. The study is focused on the following:
- Cultivating creative leaders — who can more nimbly lead in complex,
global environments - Mobilizing for greater speed and flexibility — producing significantly greater
capability to adjust underlying costs and faster ways to allocate talent - Capitalizing on collective intelligence — through much more effective
collaboration across increasingly global teams.
Heres a summary of what IBM researchers found:
We surveyed more than 700 Chief Human Resource Officers (CHROs) in 61 countries around the world, from companies large to small, and in both mature and growth markets. From in-depth conversations with hundreds of HR leaders, we found that numerous boundaries are restricting the ability of organizations to effectively match resources with opportunities. CHROs told us key gaps exist in the ability of their companies to develop future leaders, rapidly develop workforce skills and capabilities, and effectively collaborate and share knowledge.
IBM has been kind enough to ask me to join the Live Stream Panel to talk about the findings and comment based on what we are seeing in our customer work and experience.
The timing is great since I just spent 3 days in Monterrey with HR leaders from some of the largest organizations in the world discussing and debating what the five year outlook for HR and Collaboration looks like and how it supports burning talent acquisition and performance issues.
