An overwhelming amount of organizational effort is spent measuring, managing, and controlling the business process often described in cost, schedule, quality, safety. The true leading indicator of future business performance is engaged teams who understand the rules of the game and have organizational structures focused on those leaders who are the heartbeat of the business. Recognized as a driver of productivity, competitive advantage, customer loyalty, and shareholder return, employee engagement and developing a 'dream team' is no longer a plus, it is a requirement to compete in today’s economy. This performance improvement program will focus on an organizational theory overview, and a proven methodology to define a dream team culture with what right and wrong look like. It will cover methodologies for analyzing return on investment for human capital management programs and assessing internal cost drivers associated with implementation. One of the key cost drivers is talent retention which is becoming more and more critical in the labor markets of today. These methodologies will be shown though case studies and discussions on how to synchronize and integrate people improvement programs into and in direct support of every business initiative.
