We came across this article; Seven Tips To Retain Tribal Knowledge by Oliver Sturrock in IndustryWeek. It struck a nerve with us because so many companies we work with are struggling to develop effective methods of replacing soon-to-retire employees. To be more specific, while it’s hard enough these days to effectively…
We came across this interesting article in IndustryWeek. Written by Kerry Goyette, that takes a look at six drivers of intrinsic motivation. As Kerry shares, “If people know they are part of the team and their work is valued, then they become more loyal and committed.” Each of the core…
We came across this article by Jon Terry published in IndustryWeek on August 1st and, to be frank, our first reaction was to pass it by. We’ve all read SO many articles about Lean that they begin to look and read the same. And then we engaged with a manufacturing company that hasn’t…
This article by Rick Bohan in IndustryWeek caught our attention with its bold title “You Have the Wrong Idea about Corporate Culture”. Since we speak with Client Companies and Candidates all the time about the cultures of their workplaces, we were naturally motivated to read on. At its core, Mr. Bohan’s article doesn’t…
We found this article by Dr. John Sullivan published at www.ere.net that addresses “damages” resulting from slow hiring processes. Now, we normally are engaged to help companies fill empty jobs ASAP, therefore slow hiring processes are not common to us. Certainly, we do have Search Projects that get delayed pending…
We came across this article “Changing Company Culture: It’s a Matter of Principles” by Paul Borders published in IndustryWeek. The article seeks to “roadmap” a process leading to culture change. Mr. Borders uses charts to summarize the values, behaviours and results of reactive company cultures versus reliability-focused cultures. Certainly, the changes in…
We found this article by Toby Culshaw at SOURCECON. It caught our attention as Toby addresses the challenges of identifying effective Managers from Impactful Leaders. Toby in turn refers us to an article written by John Kotter back in 1996. Which is as accurate and relevant today as it was…
We noticed this article by Larry Fast in IndustryWeek earlier this month and, even though its publication is well past Manufacturing Day, Mr. Fast’s strong opinions about “We Must Do More to Promote Manufacturing as a Rewarding Career Path” hits a nerve with us. As all our readers know, we’ve dedicated…
Although we’ve shared this article before. We still feel that this particular write up is always an important topic to revisit. There’s a lot of talk and a number of articles discussing “the war for talent” and how difficult it is to attract and hire the level of talent that…
October was “Manufacturing Month” in North America. And, since most of our Clients are manufacturers we thought this article by Mark Humphlett deserved a reprint. In the article, Mark effectively summarizes the impact of change on both manufacturing jobs and the industry in general. He also sounds the alarm…
