Problem
or Opportunity
Jan
2012 | “We are all continually faced with a series
of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble
problems” – John W Gardner. How does the leader
discover the truth of that statement today? As the economic
recession seems to do a “I’m here now- I’m
not here now”, as stories of doom and gloom are
interspersed with sprinklings of good news, how does the
leader make a difference in her organisational context?

As
Others Cut Back, Outsourcing Firms Pick Up The Slack
by Manish Mehta
Oct 09 | As
Malaysians learn to deal with the news of the country’s
contracting economy, more belt-tightening is expected.
However,
not all industries are in despair.
The widespread cost-cutting
by multinational companies (MNCs) and local businesses
has become an unexpected boon to companies offering outsourcing
services.

Contributing
to the Bottom Line In Tough Times (And Good)
Jul
09 | When organisations are operating in difficult circumstances
and struggle to sustain business performance, Managing
Directors and CEOs are often hard pressed to maintain
positive communication with employees. In the absence
of information from the top, unfounded rumours will inevitably
fill the void. Rumours quickly become fact and tension
builds. Employees quickly become distracted, individual
and department performance levels fall, and the difficult
situation faced by the organisation is magnified. Being
involved with an organisation confronting this situation
some years ago, I found a solution that was surprisingly
simple, effective and inexpensive. It proved that HR can
play a very positive and influential role in engaging
staff, heightening focus on work outcomes and improving
overall business performance during tough times.

HR
as a Profit Centre
Sept 2008 | Turning HR on its head. Dileep
Pillay talks about HR creating a revenue stream. [excerpt]
...Some organisations have toyed with the idea of turning
their HR center into a profit center. Yet, this has largely
been discussed at a theoretical level; very few have actually
moved ahead in practice.
