“Shaping an investment industry that serves the greater good”
Understanding value creation and risk from human capitalAn introduction to Organization Maturity Ratings
Improve your Organization’s MaturityIncrease your Organization’s ValueEnhance your Societal Impact & Reputation
• Why is Toyota’s market capitalization c.3 x the size of GM?• Why can’t all banks produce value per head like Goldman Sachs?• Why hasn’t Rolls Royce made money on aero engines?• Why are BP & other oil majors still at risk of large scale disaster?• How did mis-selling arise at Lloyd’s after PPI & 5 years post GFC? • How does Costco stock consistently trade at a premium to Walmart?• How can Ryanair make even more profit and be a ‘nice’ company too?• How is a 40 year old clothing firm more interested in saving the planet
making so much money?
Key Human Capital Questions need convincing answers:
Value orientation – short, long term; narrow or broad
based?
“
”
The paradox is that by not pursuing profitability to the
exclusion of all else, the Great Engine companies in their
Golden Age would achieve enormous increases in
value...whereas, by single-mindedly pursuing profit...these
same companies and their successors actually created less
genuine, lasting wealth; indeed, they would often destroy it.
(The Puritan Gift, Kenneth & William Hopper)
DefinitionOrganizational & HR Maturity is the extent to which anorganization realizes its’ human potential such that it maximizesthe value it can create. Human potential in this context relates notjust to an organization’s people, but to all people connected withthe development, production and supply of an organization’sgoods and services. Value relates to value generated by referenceto the organization itself (i.e. productivity, quality, financial, efficiency)and value generated by the organization in a societal context (e.g.economic, well-being, environmental).
OMR© is an assessment of the extent to which an organization is designed around the goal of maximizing its value, while controlling risk, with emphasis on its ability to manage its human capital to best advantage.
Profit is critical for a healthy organisation but value is much broader, cleaner and sustainable

Maturity in practice: value outcomes
Early indicators
Exec expectations of human capital & value now aligned across the business Organization now adopting a new language around HCM 10 Pillars embedded into assessment of planned HC activitiesMaturity provides new framework for value based assessments and decision makingMature thinking becomes conscious & senior execs now lead on HC initiatives Practically NSW HR team now focused on the business rather than blindly adopting "best practice”
How Maturity Pillars can predict value creation & destruction
Value vs supply chain orientation
Embedded societal value &
responsibility
Truly inclusive workplaces
Best/sustainable resource use
Learning, knowledge &
innovation
High trust, cooperation &
informed decision making
Maturity drives higher value, lower risk & ‘good’ outcomes
“social, economic, environmental, and ethical factors directly affect business strategy—for example, how companies attract and retain employees, how they manage the risks and create opportunities from climate change, a company’s culture, corporate-governance standards, stakeholder-engagement strategies, philanthropy, reputation, and brand management.” –David Blood 2007
Reaching Your Potential
The perfect, virtuous circle is one where the best values of your people
are reflected in the way you do business. This means you provide the
greatest value to all your stakeholders and to society, who in return
generate the greatest value for you.
Maturity is about everyone aligning with the purpose of the organization;
wanting to realise its full potential and wanting to be around in the long
term.

Maturity: Beyond Credit Ratings
Credit ratings provide strong benefits for different players
• For investorso Simple and fast idea of credit
qualityo Complement to their own
models
• For issuerso Better access to financial
marketso Qualified independent view of
their weakness and strengths
• For counterpartieso Simple and fast idea of credit
qualityo Know with whom you are
dealing
• For regulators/societyo Complement their worko Improve market information &
transparencyo Improve corporate
governance
Excellent historical performance
• Default and transition studieso Extremely good performance: high correlation between initial rating and
default after 10+ years
o Much better than most other credit assessment models
• Subprime crisiso Mostly related to structured finance deals (directly) and structured finance
related firms (Lehman Brothers. AIG, monoliners)
o Also sovereign ratings
But credit ratings have limitations
• Focus on debt
• Focus on financial/business profiles
• What about organization/HR/other stakeholders?
• Maturity: the missing link
Why OMR?• Key complement to credit ratings: focus on value
o Broadens ratings scopeo Enhance information for all stakeholders
• For issuers: increase firm’s value
• For investors: focus on valueo Better overall informationo Better insights: is the company leveraging the HK of all stakeholders?
• For counterpartieso Enhance information
• For regulators/society: focus on valueo Societal valueo Societal value = stability
Long term view: Integration of credit ratings and OMR?
