Creativity, innovation, synthesizing ambiguity, re-imagining the possible, and making unexpected connections - all important stuff; all becoming (/is already) business imperative. Finally, all of thi... More

The core challenge is to let energy be the currency for access to engage in executing pertinent ideas. I.e., freedom to work on what gets people excited, whilst ensuring alignment. If the MIX is any ... More

Hi Perry, Thank you for the feedback :) As you mention, the way pay for performance is realized is often disappointing. I think the language seems to be shifting from "performance" to "contr... More

This probably isn't necessary, but I'll add it anyway. As another person out in the ether of the MIX, I love reading as many hacks as possible, and I don't care who they come from. I would als... More

I like this idea of volunteering. Not solely for hardship, which is a great way of exposing yourself to customer (or potential customer) realities, but for enabling a deep understanding of human n... More

So you arrive for a job, and you are told, "this is how we compensate you." Here are all the pieces, and how, in theory, they work. Each enterprise has a position based on their industry, market... More

There is a lot of energy spent on CVs. Too much. To be honest, it's not even necessary - at all. Applicants wordsmith and position; enterprises collect, prioritize, and validate. Yet I'd ar... More

Literally. Not politics. Not ownership. Not tradition. Not 'what-happened-last-time'. Not 'who-else-has-done-this'. Not 'we can't because...' Not ridiculous, heavy, bureaucratic process. Not 'ma... More

People with energy, enthuasiasm, engagement, and the inclination to apply their ideas need access to resource and opportunity. Often the challenges which most deeply concern the organization are bunk... More

Hard to pick one, but I'll try. I think I'd have to target transparent, accountable decision making. With an emphasis on de-politicizing decision making. The challenge is one part of this is emoti... More

The first issue is whether or not we are likely to see a different allocation or concentration of power. I suspect we will, in the next generation of leadership but for the next 10-15 years, I'd gambl... More

Completely agree Chris. Unfortunately far too often the fear of failure is greater than the fear of failure to learn. More

For a long time, and still currently in many organizations, HR has a legacy of being transactional. Payroll, benefits, health and safety, compensation, etc, etc. The fundamental skill set required to... More

As complexity emerges, the (unfortunate) number one org habit is to implement policies, practices, and behavioural systems of control in an attempt to limit chaos. The unintended consequence is a rig... More

Hi Sylvana, I agree. Change shouldn't be an "event." I wonder though if the way HR operates, by design, is via events. If so this inherently creates some huge obstacles. For example, events tak... More

Kirstie - you pose a question which resonates with me and is so jam-packed with exciting things to think about! If I can paraphrase - should we build on the wall, or rip it down? Should we seek to... More

The era of singular ownership is ending. HR can't be gatekeepers, because we can't have gates. Bottlenecks are disappearing and the fresh energy of innovation will find other paths and players if ... More

Literally.

Not politics. Not ownership. Not tradition. Not 'what-happened-last-time'. Not 'who-else-has-done-this'. Not 'we can't because...' Not ridiculous, heavy, bureaucratic process. Not 'making everyone happy'.

People with energy, enthuasiasm, engagement, and the inclination to apply their ideas need access to resource and opportunity.

Often the challenges which most deeply concern the organization are bunkered away in the inner circle. Transparency is a great first step to - at least - enable visibility, but if we wish...

For a long time, and still currently in many organizations, HR has a legacy of being transactional. Payroll, benefits, health and safety, compensation, etc, etc.

The fundamental skill set required to be good at transacting has (arguably) insubstantial overlap with the skill set required to be good at transforming.

The...

As complexity emerges, the (unfortunate) number one org habit is to implement policies, practices, and behavioural systems of control in an attempt to limit chaos.

The unintended consequence is a rigid set of dictums which are difficult to depose. If/as these pile up, the probability of being adaptable dissappates rapidly...
