How to optimize COEs was one of the hot topics at SSOW’s Autumn event, which took place on the West Coast of America last week.

Others included talent, strategies for 2020, and globalization.

Our 2nd-to-none Chair, ScottMadden’s Brad DeMent, guided the discussions and connects all the threads in this fantastic summary.

Just to give you a flavor...

  • Automation opportunities should come from the business (pull not push)
  • Analytics played a role in reducing our recruiting cost from $91M to $79M in two years
  • Start as the “squirrel” and go after many quick wins vs. the superhero trying to tackle a giant problem
  • 84% of employees would be willing to leave current position for an organization with a better reputation

 

...and one of my favorites: 24 year old employees look at their phone 86 times per day (how can you take advantage of that?!)
