Resource Management Innovations

   According to research (and certainly your / our experience) the most important corporate resource over the next 20 years will be talent. Senior, capable, technical staff are also the resource in shortest supply. Are you ready to fight for your fair share?  In the new economy, competition is global, capital is available, ideas are developed quickly and economically, and staff (your bench strength) are willing to change jobs often. In that kind of environment … "all that matters is talent. Talent wins." Everything we do happens through people. We bet on people, not processes or procedures.  

   RMI sees the war for talent from the front lines, and has lived in the operations bunker. From the office of CEO to the Mail Room, we have some transferable lessons that should be in every resource manager’s toolbox. One of the key value propositions in being able to operationally respond to the war for talent, and what positions you uniquely as a small – medium sized business operator is your cross skills training and career pathing opportunities. Watching, listening and being ahead of the demand curve is key … and hey, isn’t vision casting (where are we going) and mission building (how will we get there) what leadership is all about? Your employees are counting on it.

  One of the greatest ‘returns on investment’ (ROI) that RMI provides is management and leadership development. One of our clients noticed that the department that had the most effective management also had the least attrition. Further, the reputation of this units management was such that it even experienced a competitive advantage in recruitment. RMI had been delivering management and leadership development training within this company, focusing on the core competencies necessary to affect the business plan. We call it  “Linking Strategy to Execution”.

The RMI 7-Step Curriculum includes:

•  Planning
•  Organizing
•  Controlling
•  Motivating
•  Delegating
•  Coordinating, and
•  Communicating.

  From concept to completion … the war for talent is won or lost (by effective leadership & management) in being able to provide a tactical response to whatever the environment you are working in is throwing at you. Your customers, shareholders and staff are counting on you being able to respond and survive this war … and the next!

  Our principal Rick Kneeshaw teaches leadership and leadership development at Ambrose University in Calgary Alberta, as well as on client site and public workshops throughout North America.
