This paper is focused on outlaying a composition of a workforce and workplace to integrate high-performing digital and analytics capabilities into the core of the business. These shifts are oriented to bridge the talent gap between the current and next-generation workforces, along with the adoption of technical acumen/infrastructure in the organization. How to attract and retain talent for knowledge-driven technical functions
Codify individual traits:
Opportunities for positively challenging the team:
High autonomy, high accountability Connecting the relevance of one’s role and work to the core of the business Visibility into (different) career trajectories in the organization Growth and Builder mindset Build adaptive ops and systems: Flexibility in work structures with curated in-person touchpoints Shared, transparent standard for quality and pace of work An aim to build action-readiness in new hires for inevitable challenges, and contexts particular to the organization
Developing employee-focused metrics, such as a metric each for intellectual engagement and well-being Positive challenge vs. burnout/stagnation Meaningful stress and friction Environment that is open to challenges and critiques of each other (even leadership), with radical trust High trust, openness to risk, and appetite for the unfamiliar Context for the solutions, as well as the people the solutions are being built for Opportunities for idea exchanges, leadership across levels, and corporate functions
