The future of work requires more agile and effective teams to keep up with the speed of change. However, the collaboration required to solve big challenges remains elusive, and most employees don’t believe their teams are collaborating well. Teams need the right capabilities and skills to unlock their true potential and achieve their collective intelligence and breakthroughs. My brilliant KF colleagues Michel Buffet and Andrés T. Tapia elegantly summarize years of multidisciplinary research in this fantastic paper around the 5 disciplines of inclusive teams. And their new upcoming book will complete the trilogy: The 5 disciplines of Inclusive Leaders, The 5 disciplines of Inclusive Teams, and The 5 disciplines of Inclusive Organizations. #leadership #inclusiveteams #agility #powerofall #collectiveintelligence #diversity

I thought I'd reshare this article on how to take volatility out of complex program execution because we've just finished up a great project with a company struggling with this very issue. While the subject of the article is Tech Implementation, the same analysis holds true for complex engineering development programs. Increasing pressure and hours on a team hoping that will turn things around is never as useful as understanding what I term the 'root causes of the root causes'. What's structurally and fundamentally the issue, and that needs to be fixed before any effective progress can be made. The last suggestion is often the one reached for when all else has gone wrong - 'seeking an independent perspective'. Don't be afraid to ask for help or an outside perspective (either from an internal or external expert), it's often easier for them to see the wood for the trees. https://lnkd.in/ebcPAdCs Great article Jochen Gottschalk Les Viszlai Tim Gray ! #engineering #complexprograms #turnaround #tech

Why the world needs more working women A new report from Goldman Sachs suggests that the world needs higher rates of women in the workforce to fill gaps created by slowing growth in working age populations. While labor force participation rates among women are at or near all-time highs in nations like the US and Japan, the report suggests more growth is needed.

Exciting news! My former HBS professor, Ashley Whillans, and I just published a paper on a question I get all the time: “If employee ownership is so effective, why isn’t it more widespread?” To answer it, we interviewed a group of business owners to compare the benefits of employee ownership instruments to alternative incentive strategies. Here’s what we found: 1. Prior research has shown that employee ownership yields clear business benefits by aligning incentives. But its most common form, the ESOP, is inaccessible to most companies because of the time, money, and skills required. 2. Alternatives like equity-based compensation only work for a limited share of employers (e.g., VC-backed and public companies). Even then, stock options in particular are often a poor incentive (shout out to Yifat Aran's research here). 3. Small/medium businesses are left to rely on cash or recognition-based incentives (e.g., holiday bonuses), which are most often based on individual performance. 4. For businesses whose success rests on teamwork, these individual incentive strategies can be misaligned with what creates value for the company. 5. But there’s a high-impact alternative approach, which we call “shared ownership light”: sharing profit gains and engaging employees on winning those gains together. 💡 Big takeaway: a lot of companies are leaving value on the table by discounting broad-based incentive plans, whether in equity or cash form. What do you think?

How can companies improve equity outcomes by focusing on skills rather than degrees in their hiring practices? Opportunity@Work CEO Byron Auguste recently spoke to McKinsey & Company Partners Darius Bates and Carolyn Pierce about Opportunity@Work's efforts to close the opportunity gap and improve equitable outcomes in the workforce. Check out this recent Action 9 Fireside Chat at the link below ⬇️ Byron is a McKinsey alum and co-founded Opportunity@Work in 2015. Last month, Opportunity@Work, a national nonprofit focused on catalyzing economic mobility for the American workforce, received an $20 million grant from MacKenzie Scott’s Yield Giving to continue its efforts to build a skills-first labor market. #SustainableInclusiveGrowth #TearThePaperCeiling #OpportunityGap #EquityOutcomes

CHRO: From Rearguard to Vanguard - demystifying AI I had the pleasure of hosting a group of industry leading CHROs and HR leaders in my CHRO: From Rearguard to Vanguard series. This series focusses on my belief AI provides the next step change in helping HR leaders move from Administrators/Enforcer roles, beyond Strategic Partners, to Transformative Leaders delivering impactful organization-wide change. (Hence, Rearguard TO Vanguard). In my inaugural instalment, I spoke about AI for organization-wide Productivity and Engagement, the 2nd AI as a personal assistant. In this instalment, how AI can become a personal HR Advisor to each employee, in partnership with our SAP Success Factors partners. What a fantastic day at EY wavespace™! I explored two fundamentally existential, pervasive questions. 1. Will AI completely replace humans in the workplace? The AI-Employee Alliance I previously spoke in optimising AI with Practical Intelligence of Humans (social, emotional, etc) for better People Performance that leads to improved Business Outcomes. By this definition, AI won’t replace humans but complement each other for optimized outcomes. In the modern age, AI have moved from taking over transactional activities like CV screening and personalized learning recommendations to higher value chain activities. With functionalities like multimodal sentiment analysis, can AI advise managers to be more effective coaches? And even help employees get promoted faster? In our demo segment, SAP solution specialist Emily Woo demonstrated just how embedded AI functionalities can help. Question: 2. What do you think is the transformative potential of AI in HR? This sparked insightful breakout group discussions on how HR leaders are currently deploying AI in their HR functions, applying AI in future, challenges to achieve these aspirations, requirements to get there. General consensus: potential is immense, but the devil lies in the details of implementation. Since AI is the unavoidable all-permeating topic in vogue amongst top leaders today, the question is where and how People leaders can most effectively implement AI for optimal organization-wide impact. At EY, my team and I have a ready approach that can help you do just that. To everyone who joined us, thank you! To answer many of your questions, the next instalment might (or not) be unveiled at our upcoming EY CHRO Summit event on 28th November 2024, but for those interested I will be speaking again on this topic. Sign up or let me know if you are interested to join! Thanks to our SAP partners!
