Succession Management: Sustainable Leadership for the Future

Talent is a scarce resource. The level of competition and generational shifting of the leadership pool has made it increasingly difficult for organizations to find the quantity and quality of leaders needed to ensure success. At the same time, the torrid pace of change in the marketplace is making for an uncertain future, leaving many at a loss as to who they should even be looking for in the first place. With so much uncertainty, it will come down to much more than simply starting up the recruiting engine and interviewing new candidates. The war for talent will be won by companies that are able to identify their most critical roles based on the future vision of the business, determine if and how the existing leadership mold needs to be re-cast, and build the means of both finding and developing the right people for the job. This study of over 260 organizations looks at how the Best-in-Class build and manage their succession bench to produce better results today and mitigate risk and uncertainty in the future.

Enterprise Workforce Management for Retailers: Enhanced Customer and Operational Productivity

Aberdeen surveyed 100 retailers between May and July 2010 to better understand how these organizations are increasing labor management visibility and effectiveness enterprise-wide (70 surveys were used for final analysis). Their results indicate that nearly two thirds of Best-in-Class retailers (64%) are targeting increased workforce management coordination at the headquarters level (with appropriate flexibility by store-level supervisors and managers) to achieve this goal. Additionally, nearly half of all Best-in-Class respondents (45%) are using this approach to formulate and execute longer-term strategic workforce management strategies. The impetus for this centralization comes directly from the desire to enhance the customer shopping experience in the face of increased competition (55% of Best-in-Class). This report examines how retailers are embracing enterprise workforce management (definition in sidebar) to make the connection between an effective, competitive, and profitable shopping experience and a singular, consistent labor management strategy through the organization.
