Summary for Q2 2009
Reading through this quarter’s articles, there were plenty of pieces rehashing practical tips on how to deal with the recession. However, there are a number of interesting ideas and themes lurking beneath the surface.
- Intangibles such as engagement, networking and collaboration are hot topics but managing these issues is easier said than done
- New technologies have the potential to revolutionise the way we understand organisational behaviour, although the appetite for this information is as yet unclear
- Line managers can play a pivotal role in developing engaged employees and this has implications for how organisations approach talent management
- Firms are waking up to the importance of engagement, in these recessionary times, once costs have been stripped out, the need to do more with less is paramount
- Knowledge is key to value creation but how we educate and train for working with this often intangible and unpredictable environment is unknown
Comments and feedback are of course welcome.
