Business Strategy involves assisting leaders in the creation, clarification, and linking of business objectives to bottom-line results. We examine internal and external conditions while maintaining our focus on the mission, vision, and values of your organization. We find our clients typically saying&hellip; How do I create and implement goals that are aligned with our mission, vision, and values? What can be done when there is lack of alignment within or across functions and departments ? How does a team in conflict resolve its issues and utilize its differences to operate more effectively? Where do I start when I know there is something wrong with the overall organizational effectiveness, but I&rsquo;m NOT clear on what, where, and/or why? Organizational Development is the process of diagnosing an organization&rsquo;s current needs while working with leaders to create goals and objectives that help organizations achieve greater effectiveness. We find our clients typically asking&hellip; How can our organization create a plan or process to better deal with change ? What are the best practices in the hiring/promotion process that will fit our culture ? What can be done to help my managers give more constructive, supportive and meaningful feedback to employees? How do I identify and develop our leaders&rsquo; skills and abilities ? How do we develop bench strength and promote an effective succession planning program? I need an up to date pulse on the organizational culture and/or climate.

Letus be your Strategic Partners in Success.&rdquo; Team Building &amp; Executive Alignment Click the image to enlarge Team Building At Brainard Strategy real team building - the kind that creates lasting behavioral changes that work - requires commitment, training, and practice. Our approach is designed to promote interaction and provide insight into the way in which we as individuals think, communicate, solve problems, and manage conflict. By gaining a better understanding of ourselves and the other members of our team, we can enhance our ability to interact and increase the effectiveness of our communication. The result is increased commitment, positive behavior, improved working relationships, and superior team performance. Executive Alignment Executive alignment involves facilitating an understanding and appreciation of team member roles and responsibilities and how these fit into the overall functioning of the organization. When individuals are strategically aligned, their skills and expertise are fully utilized for synergistic results. Brainard Strategy helps clients create alignment across functions, teams, and/or individuals to maximize performance. Team Building Judy Bentley VP Human Resource, Edwards Life Science Irvine, California &ldquo;We were having a difficult time with bringing together our executive sales team. There were obvious effects of the lack of synergy around teaming, although the team was resistant towards chance. Brainard Strategy created and facilitated an offsite that precisely hit the team&rsquo;s needs! By the end of the team building, the team had removed many barriers and created common goals. My employees are now working as a team for the first time.&rdquo; Sarah Gunhouse VP of US Sales, Biosite Diagnostics Inc San Diego, California &ldquo;We realized that while we were having great business success, in order to continue at our current rate of growth we needed to assist our Regional Sales Directors in the development of certain skill sets. We sought to strengthen their own leadership and management awareness, and then offer them the ability to build their own teams in a much more effective manner. Brainard Strategy took our team through 360 degree assessment and DISC assessment. These were valuable tools for both our sales management team, as well as our sales representatives, as they helped us to better understand ourselves and lead our teams. Going forward we were able to link those assessments to our own sales training to help us to better lead and manage, as well as to enhance our effectiveness with our customers.&rdquo; Executive Team Alignment Robert Nascenzi CEO, Claritas Software San Diego, California Our business was mature and our brand strong, but over the course of years we had been through a couple of several mergers and my executive team was a mix of past competitors. They were not focused on our core strategies, our own teamwork had broken down, and they were increasingly under pressure form outside sources. Alignment among our executive team was critical. Michael Brainard was key in determining the most effective method to diagnosis the team and in helping our executives achieve greater alignment across functions. His process centered approach, business acumen, facilitation skills, and pragmatism helped us over the course of 6 months to work as a team and gain focus around our Mission, Vision, Values, and core strategies.

Change Management Team Building and Executive Alignment Selection Methodology Organizational Assessments Opinion and Climate Surveys 360 Degree Feedback Tools Organizational Development We&rsquo;ve rebranded! Apex Performance Strategies was formerly known as Brainard Strategy. Letus be your Strategic Partners in Success.&rdquo; Selection Methodology Apex Performance Strategies will work with you to optimize organizational performance through identifying factors that drive successful performance and designing hiring practices that fit your needs. As a result, you will be more prepared to support prospective, new, and existing employees to be more effective in their organizational roles. Our Selection Methodology Model consists of 4 cornerstones to effective selection: Competency Development Recruiting/Hiring Strategy Assimilation Decision Making Process Click the image to enlarge These cornerstones to selection are the foundation for best practices in Assessment Centers, Behavioral Interviewing, and Competency Development. Assessment Centers The assessment center is a method, not a place. It brings together many instruments and techniques of selection. By using objective assessment tools, standardizing methods of making inferences, and pooling the judgments of multiple assessors in rating each candidate \'s behavior, the likelihood of successfully predicting future performance is enhanced considerably. Apex Performance Strategies works with each client to choose the most powerful selection assessments to meet their specific selection requirements. Some of these include: Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal Form Wonderlic Personnel Test Emotional Intelligence Appraisal Chally Sales Assessments Sales Productivity Profile Harrison Assessment (Cronbach, 1984; Giber, Carter, &amp; Goldsmith, 2000; Taft, 1959). Behavioral Interviewing Behavioral interviewing replaces intuition or gut feelings about a job candidate \'s ability by utilizing an analysis of skills to help hire the right person for the right job. Behavioral interviewing provides a systematic process to assess a job candidate \'s past performance and predict future job performance. All of our techniques seek to move the decision making process from subjective standards to objective and measures. Competency Development A competency model is a valuable tool to help transform the organization \'s vision and strategy into action. The competency models that we develop are supported by valid research and identify success factors that are specific, behavior-based, and measurable. For competency models to be useful as a human resource tool they must not only define the competencies necessary for effective performance; but they must also provide examples to illustrate when a particular competency is being demonstrated in a job. C hallenge : A global manufacturing company was struggling with hiring the right people and was facing issues of turnover. Action : After diagnosis it appeared there were no competencies distinguished for key hires. After data collection through interviews, focus groups, and SMEs (Subject Matter Experts), competencies were developed for 13 key hire positions and for the overall organization. These competencies were then used to create job profiles, which included both the KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, &amp; Abilities) and the competencies needed for the job. Training on the new job profiles and how to use them was conducted and the recruiting department then implemented the job profiles. Result : The recruiting department was better able to hire individuals who were a fit for the position and the organization. Due to the success of the job profiles, the company asked us to come back and create job profiles for the rest of the positions within the company.

Apex Performance Strategies was formerly known as Brainard Strategy. Letus be your Strategic Partners in Success.&rdquo; Leadership Development Effective leadership development is driven by the strategy of the organization. It focuses on aligning leaders with the business strategy and developing leaders with the specific competencies required to execute that strategy effectively. Challenge : A mid-size organization in the entertainment and gaming industry wanted to assess the strengths of its leadership team and determine whether the organizational leaders had the necessary competencies for their positions. Action : Three assessments were administered to the leadership team in an effort to understand the capabilities, strengths, and potential of each leader. A talent map was also created and included an individual&rsquo;s assessment scores, overall score, and a weighted score for each of the organizational competencies Result : Each member of the leadership team received feedback based on his or her individual reports and created a personal development plan. The talent map was used to compare those of high management acumen to those with low management acumen in an effort to see the overall core strengths and areas for improvement within their leadership team. In Leadership Development, we provide expertise in areas of succession development and management assessment. TOP Succession Development Succession development involves systematically identifying, assessing, and developing talent to ensure the leadership continuity for all key positions in an organization. This process helps organizations engage senior management in a disciplined review of leadership talent, guides development activities of key executives, brings selection systems, reward systems, and management into alignment with the process of leadership renewal, and assures continuity of leadership. C hallenge: A global professional services firm had acquired three firms that needed to be merged together. This resulted in a need to create a career development roadmap to help attract and retain the best and brightest. Due to the amount of new employees coming from three different organizations there was a need to define and link individual performance to rewards and create a standard title structure. Action: A profile was created to define core and technical competencies required for success at each of the four levels. Based on these competencies, a total rewards and performance management process was developed and implemented. Lastly, the mapping of individuals to standard titles was initiated. Result: The impact of this project on the business was immediate. Ninety-nine percent of the employee population formally set individual goals based on the strategic objectives of the business. Additionally, there was a significant increase in interim performance feedback. The long term outcome was the new understanding employees gained about their standing in the company and clarity on how to move up in the company. This clarity was supported by the standardized process for reward distribution that was implemented. TOP Management Assessment Specifically targeting management level positions and examining what managerial skills are critical for success, determining management&rsquo;s perceived level of ability around those skills, and creating custom training that addresses management&rsquo;s developmental needs. Management Assessment Tony Chartrand SVP Human Resource, Viejas Casino San Diego, California &ldquo;We needed an accurate way to measure the capabilities and potential of our management team.

Apex Performance Strategies was formerly known as Brainard Strategy. Letus be your Strategic Partners in Success.&rdquo; CAR \'s (Challenge, Action, &amp; Result) Business Strategy/Leadership Development Challenge: A highly competitive and rapidly growing Regional Telecommunications Firm was struggling with not having enough qualified managers. In addition, the organization had recently changed their business strategy. These changes were negatively impacting performance. Action: Due to the organization&rsquo;s needs, Brainard Strategy first identified the successful managerial competencies that were in alignment with the new business strategy. Over 300 managers participated in an assessment center based on the managerial competencies identified. A composite report of the assessment results was delivered to the organization and individual assessment feedback was given to each participant. Two important steps were taken based on the assessment feedback. First, individual development plans were created. Second, a 3-day tailored leadership training and business strategy program was designed and delivered to all managers. Result: Based on this project, there was a 10% increase in leadership satisfaction scores that were shown to be correlated with store performance. Additionally, there was an increase in availability of competent managers to fill positions in new store openings. Since the project was aligned with the business strategy, the largest impact was the ability to incorporate the managerial competencies into the selection and performance management processes. TOP Coaching C hallenge : A large Telecommunications Firm and one of their Engineers wanted the individual contributor to move into a management role. Although the Engineer had very strong technical skills, they lacked interpersonal skills. A ction : Based on the needs, Brainard Strategy matched a coach with the individual to help in their professional development. Weekly coaching sessions took place for over three months. During the coaching, a pre and post 360 Degree Feedback survey was administered. R esult : The coaching resulted in a significant improvement in the interpersonal skills based on co-worker and boss feedback when comparing the pre and post 360 surveys results. Additionally, the Engineer was considered by the organization for a management position. TOP Culture and Climate Survey C hallenge : A global Telecommunications Firm wanted to launch their first online, customized Employee Culture/Opinion Survey. The company wanted to include all employees in nine different countries. Furthermore, the company wanted to complete the entire survey process from start (determining what to measure) to finish (data analysis and summary of results) within eight weeks. This was a very tight deadline, as a project of this size would typically take 12 to 16 weeks to complete. A ction : With the short amount of time, Brainard Strategy quickly pulled together their resources and executed quick turnover on all actionable items. From, facilitating focus groups and Subject Matter Expert interviews to developing items and creating the online survey each step was executed with precision and speed. Once data collection was completed, an in-depth data analysis by work group, department, division, and business unit was conducted. Result : The response rate of the online survey was 90%.

The response from the participants was extremely positive and they enjoyed the ease of the survey process. Furthermore, the executive team noted the quality of the data analysis and well-executed processes. After this survey process, they now have implemented the survey into the organization and use it annually. TOP Outsourcing OD &amp; Learning C hallenge : A mid-size financial services organization was struggling to provide the day-to-day organizational development functions they needed to create a more effective and efficient organization. Some examples of these organizational functions include leadership development, selection methodology, and performance management A ction : The Brainard Strategy team worked with the client to create and implement programs relevant to the overall needs of the organization. One example would be the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard. The Balanced Scorecard was implemented to help increase the structure and objectivity of their performance management system. The Balanced Scorecard was implemented through training across the organization. Then the new performance management system was integrated into the current performance review process by updating documents and conducting performance review training. R esult : A team of six consultants worked on many different Organizational Development functions that have been created and implemented within the organization. The diversity of thought and expertise of the consultants have resulted in programs that specifically use best practices while understanding what will address the organization&rsquo;s needs. The biggest impact is the quality of the implementation and integration of a new program into the organization&rsquo;s current systems. All new programs are linked and integrated into the current systems. This has resulted in dramatically reducing the learning curve while increasing the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the organization. TOP Competency Development Challenge : A global manufacturing company was struggling with hiring the right people and was facing issues of turnover. A ction : After diagnosis it appeared there were no competencies distinguished for key hires.

R esult : The recruiting department was better able to hire individuals who were a fit for the position and the organization. Due to the success of the job profiles, the company asked Brainard Strategy to come back and create job profiles for the rest of the positions within the company TOP Mergers and Acquisitions C hallenge : A global pharmaceutical organization had acquired multiple mid-size biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The large organization was struggling with integrating the multiple companies and was facing issues of low morale, turnover, and resistance. A ction : We created a custom workshop that was conducted throughout United States and Canada. The workshop specifically addressed the issues employees were facing due to the large scale change and gave real life advice on how to deal with those issues. A communication channel was also included in the workshops, which created a medium for the organization to deliver current updates about the organization to the employees. R esult : Based on the workshop feedback, over eighty percent of the participants felt better able to deal with the large scale changes and felt better equipped to deal with the emotions they were experiencing. The large organization was very pleased with the result of these workshops and noted a significant increase in moral within the work environment. TOP Leadership Development Challenge: A mid-size organization in the entertainment and gaming industry wanted to assess the strengths of its leadership team and determine whether the organizational leaders had the necessary competencies for their positions. Action: Brainard Strategy administered three assessments measuring management acumen to the leadership team in an effort to identify the current strengths and areas of opportunity for each leader. A talent map was also created that painted a picture of the capabilities and development areas by level, function, and overall organization. Result: Each member of the leadership team received feedback based on his or her individual reports and created a personal development plan. The talent map was used to compare those of high management acumen to those with low management acumen in an effort to see the overall core strengths and areas for improvement within their leadership team.

It is critical for companies to know the return on their investment in OD and HR initiatives, but more frequently than not, companies struggle to see the return in true dollar figures. The missing elements in traditional ROI calculations are the organizational influencers/ impact variables. This article investigates those missing elements and offers a new perspective and model for calculating ROI for recruiting, selection, training, performance management, coaching, and succession management.  2    Overview  It may be common knowledge among human resource professionals that human capital- the traits (intelligence and energy) that people bring to a job, their ability to learn (aptitude, creativity, and so on), and their motivation to share information and knowledge (team spirit and goal orientation) - is any organization \'s most important asset. The ROI of Human Capital arguably offer the greatest long term value in an organization (Fitz-enz, 2001). Jac Fitz-enz explains that in today \'s marketplace, every function must add value. In order to show HR \'s value, three factors are required:  · · ·  A new vision of HR \'s purpose A more effective relationship between HR and its internal customers A quantitative performance-measurement system. (Fitz-enz, 1994).  Experts \' Opinions and Thoughts  Jim Hatch, principal with PricewaterhouseCoopers/ Saratoga, a leading source for HR metrics and benchmarking, says that Human Capital ROI- the amount of money you get back in profits for every dollar invested in human capital- is a good predictor of mid- and long-term success. Laurie Bassi, chair of Bassi Investments Inc. in Washington DC, also believes that Human Capital keys can predict future corporate profitability. Furthermore, she has years of solid research to back up her claim. According to Bassi, who is a former Economics professor at Georgetown University, the chief indicator for ROI is Training Expenditures per Employee.  Summary of the Problem  Because companies spend so much of their budgeted dollars on OD/HR initiatives, it is crucial that we are able to measure the added value. We need to know that we are getting a return on our investment, but how can we calculate it? One of the reasons that ROI can be particularly difficult to calculate is the different organizational influencers that impact an initiative. These influencers are implicitly and/or explicitly impacting time, quality, and money, but are not hard dollars and therefore are difficult to put into a basic equation of: output / input equals productivity (output/input = value). The problem can be as simple as a math equation. For example, the cost (input: one side of the equation) is a different unit of measurement than what is often seen as the outcomes (satisfaction, commitment, retention, etc). We expect that if the input is in dollars, that the outcome will also be in dollars; however that is not always the case with OD/ HR initiatives. In this case, we are not comparing like units (e.g. dollars to success metrics, rather than dollars to dollars). So then, it is important to understand and measure the impact/ influencer variable to ultimately see an outcome that can be expressed as a dollar value.  3    Our Approach  There are two options to attempt to adequately measure ROI: 1. Stop trying to measure ROI traditionally. (E.g. The problem = 10k for a service = an assumed 25k in return), the more traditional and less rigorous way. Or 2. Measure ROI in three steps: First, calculate the cost of initiatives (input). Second, determine the variables that will be impacted by the initiative (influencer/ impact variable). Third, calculate the return for that impact/ change initiative (return on investment). (E.g. 10k for a service = increased retention). Example: Attrition in 2004 was 15% at the Director Level and above. Post-initiative attrition was 12% at Director Level and above. Attrition at the Director Level and above costs the company  650,000 at 15%. After the initiative, the attrition rate at the Director Level and above was 3% less or  450,000 in net cost to the company. Thus, the initiative has an ROI of  200,000 in net savings on a  10,000 investment. The focus of this article is to present and investigate options for measuring ROI that incorporate these influencers in an effort to see value added through various success metrics. Specifically, we will look at OD/HR initiatives such as recruiting, selection, training, performance management, coaching, and succession management.  4    Our Basic Models  1) The traditional model of looking at ROI is: Input should be equal to or greater than the Return on Investment:  Inputs (Cost in Dollars)    Return on Investment ( Revenue, Costs)  A  B  *When the units in A and B are expressed in dollars  2) The new model that will be used to research the ROI includes organizational influencers:  Inputs (Cost in Dollars)    Influences/ Impact Variables (Quality, Time, Cost)  Return on Investment ( Revenue, Costs)    A  B  C  *When OD initiatives cannot easily be measured in dollars, we refer to impact variables (B) as success metrics that correlate to dollars (C).  5    Value Analysis: Components to Calculate ROI of OD/ HR Initiatives I.

It is critical for companies to know the return on their investment in OD and HR initiatives, but more frequently than not, companies struggle to see the return in true dollar figures. The missing elements in traditional ROI calculations are the organizational influencers/ impact variables. This article investigates those missing elements and offers a new perspective and model for calculating ROI for recruiting, selection, training, performance management, coaching, and succession management.    Overview  It may be common knowledge among human resource professionals that human capital- the traits (intelligence and energy) that people bring to a job, their ability to learn (aptitude, creativity, and so on), and their motivation to share information and knowledge (team spirit and goal orientation) - is any organization \'s most important asset. The ROI of Human Capital arguably offers the greatest long term value in an organization (Fitz-enz, 2001). Jac Fitz-enz explains that in today \'s marketplace, every function must add value. In order to show HR \'s value, three factors are required: A new vision of HR \'s purpose A more effective relationship between HR and its internal customers A quantitative performance-measurement system. (Fitz-enz, 1994).  Experts \' Opinions and Thoughts  Jim Hatch, principal with PriceWaterhouseCoopers/ Saratoga, a leading source for HR metrics and benchmarking, says that Human Capital ROI- the amount of money you get back in profits for every dollar invested in human capital- is a good predictor of mid- and long-term success. Laurie Bassi, chair of Bassi Investments Inc. in Washington DC, also believes that Human Capital keys can predict future corporate profitability. Furthermore, she has years of solid research to back up her claim. According to Bassi, who is a former Economics professor at Georgetown University, the chief indicator for ROI is Training Expenditures per Employee.  Summary of the Problem  Because companies spend so much of their budgeted dollars on OD/HR initiatives, it is crucial that we are able to measure the added value. We need to know that we are getting a return on our investment, but how can we calculate it? One of the reasons that ROI can be particularly difficult to calculate is the different organizational influencers that impact an initiative. These influencers are implicitly and/or explicitly impacting time, quality, and money, but are not hard dollars and therefore are difficult to put into a basic equation of: output / input equals productivity (output/input = value). The problem can be as simple as a math equation. For example, the cost (input: one side of the equation) is a different unit of measurement than what is often seen as the outcomes (satisfaction, commitment, retention, etc). We expect that if the input is in dollars, that the outcome will also be in dollars; however that is not always the case with OD/ HR initiatives. In this case, we are not comparing like units (e.g. dollars to success metrics, rather than dollars to dollars). So then, it is important to understand and measure the impact/ influencer variable to ultimately see an outcome that can be expressed as a dollar value.    Our Approach  There are two options to attempt to adequately measure ROI: 1. Stop trying to measure ROI traditionally. (e.g., The problem = 10k for a service = an assumed 25k in return), the more traditional and less rigorous way. Or 2. Measure ROI in three steps: First, calculate the cost of initiatives (input). Second, determine the variables that will be impacted by the initiative (influencer/ impact variable). Third, calculate the return for that impact/ change initiative (return on investment). (e.g., 10k for a service = increased retention). Example: Attrition in 2004 was 15% at the Director Level and above. Postinitiative attrition was 12% at Director Level and above. Attrition at the Director Level and above costs the company  650,000 at 15%. After the initiative, the attrition rate at the Director Level and above was 3% less or  450,000 in net cost to the company. Thus, the initiative has an ROI of  200,000 in net savings on a  10,000 investment.
