Jan. 6th CEO Corner: Delivering Results with the Flexible Workforce
With the growth of the flexible workers comes the need to manage them. It’s true that the flexible workforce can help reduce costs and keep companies lean. But there is no point in saving money if the work doesn’t get done, or doesn’t get done right. With this in mind, companies must first provide justification for hiring independent consultants and then use hard success metrics to track progress. Because of the high profile of mission-critical initiatives, hiring managers will have to demonstrate tight oversight of work streams and deliverables.
How to Become a “Front Runner”
A top M Squared consultant, Mahesh Rao, recently authored a book titled “Front Runners”. Rao has more than 20 years of experience helping Fortune 500 companies embrace change, transform, and become leaders of their industries. The book is a comprehensive yet practical guide covering 10 game-changing strategies for total business transformation.
Book synopsis:
Companies today face a unique predicament—one that most have not seen in decades. Customer needs change rapidly, and changes in buying habits create new market landscapes. If company leaders fail to adapt quickly enough to new market conditions, shareholders can be ruthless in their criticism. Adding to the tough choices are ever-increasing internal constraints on budgets and other resources.
