1. Today’s Business Realities
Sound Familiar?
• Financial market pressure for operational excellence,
innovation, market expansion/adjacencies and emerging market
growth
• Market health slowly returning in mature markets ~ growth
opportunities rest outside of U.S. and Western Europe
• New type of leadership is required ~ global, open, innovative,
mix of strategic and execution skills
• Businesses are doing more with less ~ including talent
• Difficult decisions are made every day compromising jobs,
talent, alignment and engagement

“Serving as the Tip of the Spear”
J. Craig Mundy

3. Talent Solutions
Tip of the Spear Concept
Business Needs Capability Gaps Talent Solutions
Implications of not delivering ~ stakes are incredibly high
• Risk missing financial commitments
• Risk not having accurate data ~ “how can we forecast growth without this
information?”
• Risk credibility with C-level ~ “damn HR people can’t even get basic information
about people right?”
• Risk losing the right to steer primary business strategy, direction of the company
and serve as a trusted partner

4. Making the Business Case for Talent Solutions
• Ability to attract, develop, retain top talent with the right skills (especially in
high growth markets) is critical to delivering on our ambitious goals
• People are our greatest enabler of success – must stop “managing talent”
• Planning workforce needs for the future:
– Determining our strategic gaps
– Identifying the best talent
– Keeping them engaged
• Creating standard practices and processes, deploying systems that are
consistent globally (rather than regionally) and will:
– Increase our ability to predict our workforce needs
– Accelerate the speed of identifying candidates internally and externally
– Quickly assimilate people into new roles and shorten time to being fully productive
– Retain and engage our people
Deliver the right talent at the right time and places based on global growth
and need – without productivity loss or unnecessary business cost

12. Talent Stewardship ~ Core Leadership Accountability
Talent Stewardship Mantra
• Create an environment where every leader
engages and develops their employees, and
every employee is engaged in their own
development.
• To win, Talent Stewardship must be integrated
into how we do business.
• Leaders must steward the talent management
process on-time and together with their
employees including:
– Goal setting with clear line of site to our mission “They will create a lot of commitment with you and with
and vision the company. You will be more committed with your job.
– Performance management and development plans And, it will help you in your development.”
– Talent and organizational reviews, and succession

employees keeps us focused on what matters – achieve that goal, and I want to keep moving forward
toward the plan we’ve laid out. So, it definitely gets me
delivering business results and customer more engaged, more involved.”
satisfaction.
-Employee, North America

13. Leader-Led Communications Strategy
Concept
• Because managers create engagement … engage managers (L3, L4)
• Empower them with communications tools, training, processes and
information (early and often) to engage employees
• Hold managers accountable for communicating with employees and for
communicating relentlessly within functions and sites
• Ask the leadership team to model behavior and to build credibility for the
engagement and communications processes
Employees relate locally and functionally first before engaging
with a region, business or enterprise –
align our communications with how employees want to be engaged
Caveat: Employees want to hear about vision, strategy, direction, progress against goals
and large scale changes directly from business leaders
