What is Strategic Success?
Delivering high value results to significant stakeholders
Financial SuccessOperational SuccessCustomer Success Workforce (People) Success
Defining the Business Strategy
Strategy is:The central, integrated,
externally oriented concept of how we will achieve our objectives. (Hambrick & Fredrickson)
Challenges for Strategy Execution in Primary Pharmaceuticals
1. Develop New Products or New Markets for Existing Products
2. Control Costs

Human Capital Defined
The collective sum multiplicative product of the attributes, life experience, knowledge, inventiveness, energy, and enthusiasm that people choose to invest in their work. Weatherly 2003 with a little help from Ed
Attributes of Human Capital Markets
Various levels of valueAppreciates and depreciatesMarkets are shifting from Closed
(balance sheet talent, core) to Open System (crowd sourcing ie Uber and Lyft)
Individually owned but collectively realized
Human Capital: The Invisible Resource
• It is vested in the individual human resources in the form of intellectual and social capital.
• It is acquired, developed, utilized, and sustained through management practices (includes Coaching).
• Being invisible it is harder to duplicate.
Human Capital Value
Value inherent in the form of individuals collectively interacting in the context of human capital architectures (HCA)
Individuals are the repository for human capital
HCA, process, culture and context extract the value of individuals
Human Capital Has Value“People are our most valuable asset”
PROVE IT! Must be demonstrated by management practices and actions that compose the Human Capital Architecture

Knowing – Doing Gap
How Big is the Gap?“Only 1 in 10 of the 88,000 respondents in our Global Workforce Study agreed that their organization’s senior leaders treat employees as vital corporate assets. A larger percentage reported that their leaders act as if employees don’t matter.” Gebauer ad Lowman, 2008
The Challenge for Managers
Human Capital IMPACTS the Bottom Line
To create value through Human Capital requires a fundamental change in how it is recognized and managed in most organizations.
Human Capital - Challenges and Responsiveness
• Managing Human Capital has always been difficult but even more so going forward
• Deloitte: Global Human Capital Trends 2014 – Three Key Areas of Strategic Focus– Lead and Develop– Attract and Engage– Transform and Reinvent
Challenge #1 - Lead and Develop
“ The need to broaden, deepen, and accelerate leadership development at all levels; build global workforce capabilities; re-energize corporate learning by putting employees in charge, and fix performance management.”
Deloitte 2014
Challenge #2 - Attract and Engage
“ The need to develop innovative ways to attract, source, recruit, and access talent; drive passion and engagement in the workforce; use diversity and inclusion as a business strategy; and find ways to help the overwhelmed employee deal with the flood of information and distractions in the workplace”
Deloitte 2014
Challenge #3 Transform and Reinvent
“ The need to create a global HR platform that is robust and flexible enough to adapt to local needs; reskill HR teams; take advantage of cloud based HR technology; and implement HR data analytics to achieve business goals.”
Deloitte 2014
Talent Management
• Talentship requires a redefinition of the traditional service role of HR managers in organizations.
• This involves a managerial focus on the process of "talent segmentation" and the need to focus managerial attention on "pivotal talent pools".

Critical Outcomes for Strategy Execution
Research & Development Group in Primary Pharmaceuticals
1. New Product Applications 2. Reduce Time to Market
Talent Segmentation
• Talent segmentation is as vital to strategic success as customer segmentation.
• Talent segmentation involves identifying pivotal talent pools where human capital makes the biggest difference to strategy execution
Customer Segmentation
1. How do organization segment customers?
2. What are these customer segments?
3. How are they treated differently?
Talent Segmentation
1. Does your organization identify specific talent pools?
2. What are these talent pools?3. How are the management practices
(HCA) different for these talent pools?
Drilling Down in Human Capital
Pivotal Talent Pools
Pivotal PositionsDetermine the Pivotal Positions
to Deliver Strategy Execution
Finding the Pivotal Position
Yield Curve - understanding where differences in quality or quantity of talent and organization have the greatest impact on strategy execution (steepness, elasticity, D, slope)
What is a Pivotal Position?
• Not necessarily the highest paid/ranked position
• Not necessarily most critical• Not necessarily the most common/number• Not necessarily the most visible• Not necessarily the most obvious• Not ever a person
Pivotal Positions in the R & D Talent Pool of Primary Pharmaceuticals
• What is the Pivotal Position for executing strategy?
• Provides the most significant (relative to others in the pivotal talent pool – R&D) improvement in strategy execution

There are only three measurements that tell you nearly everything you need to know about your organization’s overall
performance:
1. Employee engagement2. Customer satisfaction3. and Cash flowJack Welch, Business Week 2006AND - Ed says order is important

Managing Human Capital the Person
While the human capital architecture is designed to support the highest level of performance for pivotal positions it must ultimately be differentiated at the level of the person

Shifting Employment Relationship
• The employer/employee relationship is shifting to a contractual relationship that is more a partnership than economic exchange.
• Larger spans of control, fewer employees delivering more output.
• Decline in traditional communications increase in cyber communications.
Employee Engagement: Examples in Practice
• “Engagement describes how an employee thinks and feels about, and acts toward his or her job, the work experience and the company.” Intuit
• “Employee engagement is the involvement with and enthusiasm for work.” Gallup
Employee Engagement: Examples in Practice
• “Engagement is the extent of employees’ commitment, work effort, and desire to stay in an organization.” Caterpillar
• “Engagement: To compete today, companies need to win over the MINDS (rational commitment) and the HEARTS (emotional commitment) of employees in ways that lead to extraordinary effort.” Dell
Three Levels of Engagement
1. Cognitive Engagement – Employee beliefs about the company the leaders and the culture
2. Emotional Engagement – Employee affect for the organization, leaders, colleagues
3. Behavioral Engagement – the value added component of effort exerted above required minimum.
Three Key Behaviors of Engagement
1. Say: Employees speak positively about the Company to coworkers,potential coworkers, and current and future customers.
2. Stay: Employees strongly desire to continue working for the Company.
3. Serve: Employees exert extra effort and are dedicated to doing the best job to contribute to business success.
Impacts of Employee Engagement
• The extent to which employees are committed to something or someone in the organization, how hard they work and how long they stay as a result of that commitment.
• Employees with high level of engagement are 87% less likely to leave and 20% more productive.
Levels of Employee Engagement
• Engaged Employees (28%) – work with passion and exuberance, feel a profound connection to the organization can’t wait to contribute more – OCB organizational citizenship behaviors
Levels of Employee Engagement
• Not Engaged (53%) – “checked out” of the organization, effort put forth is minimal and barely acceptable, lack passion and do not identify with the organization – often the majority of employees
Levels of Employee Engagement
• Actively Disengaged (19%) – not just disconnect but unhappy, the behaviors are counterproductive and at times destructive, degenerates the culture and based on cognitive dissonance Fosters TIMJ and DGMGE
Global Survey ResultsOnly 1 in 5 Workers are delivering their
full potential!The other 79%:41% are “enrolled” - capable and ready but not inspired30% are disenchanted 8% are disengaged Graber & Lowman, 2008
What is your organization's ratio?
• In world-class organizations, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is 9.57 engaged to 1 actively disengaged.
• In average organizations, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is 1.83 to 1.

Employee Engagement – 3 Challenges for Managers
1. Recognize the significance of the employment relationship.
2. Understand and adjust to the individual in their employee life cycle
3. Design & implement systems to fully engage the human capital (individuals) in the organization.
Isn’t it COMMON SENSE?
Managers know that they should create functional Human Capital
Architecturesbut
They have elaborate excuses why they can’t
Its Only Common Sense!
Half will never see the connection between Human Capital and Profits
Half will embrace the potential of the connection between Human Capital and Profit
Its Only Common Sense!
Half will never see the connection between Human Capital and Profits
Half will engage minimal change
Half will engage comprehensive change
Its Only Common Sense!
Half will never see the connection between Human Capital and Profits
Half will engage minimal change
Half won’t stay the course
Half will succeed
J
It is Difficult to Imitate
Only about 1 in 8 even come close!Implementation of a viable human capital
architecture requires deep change and a commitment to “stay the course”.
It is often slow and paybacks are a long time coming
Most of the requirements defy “Conventional Wisdom”
Just Do It?
Managers to succeed in the new normal must rely on a human
capital architecture that defies traditional practices and
conventional wisdom
