BizBlend: Building a People Centered Organization

When People Are Your Greatest Asset

Jumped on with Sana at BizBlend in July to discuss one of the biggest undiscussables in industry today: when leaders proclaim, “people are our greatest asset,” but don’t really mean it. Here it straight from an insider who has actually been in the strategy room trying to reconcile this cognitive dissonance with top leaders.

We also explore what People-Centered Organizational Design means, a rare but powerful approach that resolves the palpable tension that exists today between strategic leaders and the people in the organization they are responsible for leading. And finally, we tackle the controversial question of whether a human-centered strategy is required to succeed in today’s competitive environment.

A great way to spend about 30 min. of your day. I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please let me know.
