Talent hunt: How companies can get competitive on best hires
The best hires of today are Gen Z. The best hires of tomorrow will be the next generation of young people who are now still in school but who will a decade later graduate and mature into the world of work that's now being created. Who knows what the difference between them and Gen Z will be? Hence, it is spot on that different generations must co-exist in the workplace. Competing to have these young people in our organisations is really about being open enough to look beyond today's norms and ideas, and bringing the old and new together to co-create value. - Kamlesh C Meta
Uncertain 2022? A well-defined strategy can help
The real problem with strategy comes when it is created too far in advance and then treated as though set in stone. No matter how good and how well designed, a strategy that is inflexible will inevitably lead the organisation to a sorry ending. It does not matter whether the strategy is directional. Going in the wrong direction is still going in the wrong direction! We ought to value flexibility and agility, and be ready to tear up the playbook and start over should circumstances demand it. - Aashmeeta Yogiraj
