December Members Meeting Featured Presentations on Executive Onboarding and
Courageous Enterprise
December 6th and 13th
December’s meetings in San Francisco, Menlo Park, San Diego, and Irvine
offered the participants and presenters a great opportunity to share
experiences and exchange ideas about some cutting edge strategic HR issues.
The main two themes of the sessions were Executive Onboarding: Process and
Tools for Accelerating Executive Success, presented by Judy Allen, Lorraine Stomski, and Jeff Quinn; and
Courageous Enterprise: Creating Higher Purpose
Organizations, presented by Vince Caimano.
Judy Allen of Agilent Technologies, in partnership with Jeff Quinn and
Lorraine Stomski of Aon Consulting gave an overview of the global executive
onboarding process that was implemented at Agilent Technologies. They
focused on the importance of executive onboarding as a course of actions
that ensure the new leader’s successfully integration in the new
organization. Judy Allen pointed out that onboarding should not be
considered as merely an introduction of a new leader to the organization,
but as a process that goes hand in hand with selection and in its totality
is really a special case of organization transformation.
The presenters also articulated the need for a systematic approach to
onboarding process in order to accelerate the new leader’s transition.
Participants were introduced to tools for supporting executive success and
received a hard copy of the complete toolkit that Agilent uses.
Vince Caimano of Amor Ministries led the second session of the meeting. The
presentation was a mixture of lively open discussion and examples of how
organizations and their leaders can build a more durable business strategy,
while becoming good corporate citizens. As Vince Caimano indicated, many
organizations are looking beyond the bottom line and are becoming aware that
a positive social impact is a necessary element of an effective business
strategy.
The session included discussions about the HR leaders’ role in encouraging
the development of socially responsible corporate programs, the benefits of
good corporate citizenship, and how to develop a business strategy that goes
in harmony with social responsibility. |
