2. What is HR Excellence?
• Anonymous
– Excellence is the result of
Caring more than others think wise
Risking more than others think safe
Dreaming more than others think practical
Expecting more than others find possible
• Kevin Duggan, Institute for Operational Excellence
When each and every employee can see the flow
of value to the customer
And fix that flow before it breaks down
October 12, 2014

human capital assets.

15. Hidden Wastes - Overproduction
Too many steps in the process
Excess process steps
Lack of sufficient talent
October 12, 2014
16. Hidden Wastes - Overproduction
Consider this scenario
“ An organization is in the process of hiring a new middle
management executive. In the process of completing the hiring
process, the job requisition is reviewed and approved three times.”

17. Hidden Wastes - Overproduction
Consider this scenario
“ An organization is in the process of hiring a new middle
management executive. In the process of completing the hiring
process, the job requisition is reviewed and approved three times by
the same person.”
October 12, 2014
18. Hidden Wastes - Waiting
Undefined decision making
Fill times
Customer unmet needs
October 12, 2014
25. Hidden Wastes - Inventory
Too Much work in process
Physical piles of forms
Lists of pending requests
Excess wait time
October 12, 2014
26. Hidden Wastes - Inventory
Look at your organization and determine the TAKT time to
fill your recruitment needs.
If necessary extend the time out for a week.
480 min x 5 = 2400 min per week
Consider this scenario – Your hiring manager calls and tells
you that he/she needs a new hire completed in 3 days. You
are currently working on 75 searches. How much time do
you need to complete his request?
1440 minutes /75 searches /480 = .04 seconds per
search
Given your organizational demands is this reasonable?

Notas del editor
Good morning passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for TLS Continuum flight 2014 to destination unknown. We are now inviting those passengers who either do or want to contribute to your organizational sustainability to begin boarding this unique journey.
To begin the journey we have to define what we mean by HR excellence
Consider these two definitions of excellence
I would suggest to you that we take the two definitions and extend them further in the workplace.
If we believe that we have in place a Center of Excellence than there needs to be four key performance indicators in place.
We have to grow our knowledge beyond the silo
We have to grow our resources to gain further information
We have to change the organizational culture
We need to share the weatlh
Lets take a closer look at the choice you have via a real life experience? Consider the scenario on the slide before you – What would you do?
Whether you care to admit it or not you as HR professionals are at a career crossroads. You choice of direction determines whether you have a job in the future.
Your response to the scenario tells me which direction you took.
Status quo
Do not ask for a seat at the table unless you do things differently
Your career is dependent, no let me rephrase that your career demands that you gain the ability to speak the language of business.
I want to welcome you once again on TLS Continuum flight 2014 service from Birmingham, AL to as yet to be determined location. We are expecting some turbulence on the way so brace yourself for some rough going.
This turbulence is the equivalent of turning a bull loose in a china closet. Do these comments sound familiar? Ever ask yourself or management why?
Go back to your office and the next time someone says no to one of your requests ask the 5 why’s
The outcome is amazing
Once we see a problem. Once we have an inkling of what the problem is we need to feel that problem and how it affects your organization.
Example: Glove from Contagious and Decisive
Dr. Mikel in his book suggests why we can’t see and feel the problem’s facing the organization
Every organization has “Hidden” Wastes” which are impeding the organization because we have not looked for their existence
The vast majority of what we do every day in our organizations is not based on what the customer will pay for or asked for. Therefore it is waste
Stop for a minute and think about your HR processes-
What is the first thing you ask of a candidate who is there for an interview with the HR dept?
Are you ruling candidates out instead of ruling them in?
Consider this scenario for a moment
As Paul Harvey said here is the rest of the story
In plain sight – It was a standard practice within the organization but nobody questioned why
Manager says he/she needs someone ASAP, 3 months later he/she has still not indicated when candidate selection will begin
Manager says they need someone ASAP but you have not sent him/her candidates after 3 months
You have the KPI’s for new talent and send hiring managers everything but the KPI’s
Before – Excessive lead time to require new human capital assets
After –uncovered more than 70 opportunities to improve hiring process; reduced average lead time from 132 days to 54-70 days
Before – 50% turnover in the first year
After – Savings of $300,000 and 15% reduction in turnover
GE Mortgage
How do your associates get the supplies they need
Fax example
Like overproduction is every step necessary
Silo=Waste
Waiting even a short period of time increases waste in your organization.
Are you superman or superwoman and can you do it?
3) Relates back to management decision time
Consider this scenario : A hiring manager sends you a job opening with the request to fill it ASAP. This is on top of the 35 other job openings you are trying to fill. Could you reasonably remove all the job requisitions in three days?
Forms = Kanban
Program options
Julie and Smith & Nephew
Where are the reports today?
Are all the key points accurate?
Wrong data = incomplete data=waste
Who Am I = role of human capital in your organization
John Rickets = IBM Reaching the goal
How do you handle emails?
Late arrivals
Designing materials
Before I bring this presentation to a head are there any questions to this point?
As we begin our descent please bring yourselves back into real time. Understand that you are at a point where you can’t go back to where we left, it does not exist any longer. We cannot have process improvement or reach the state of a center of excellence without a change in culture
Dr Deming taught us we had a problem. In order to bring about the cultural change the new normal we have to implement 3 pillars within the organization.
The first pillar is that we must become centered on the customer- both internal and external
Who writes your job descriptions?
The second pillar is the corporate culture
We need a new environment centered on the value of our human capital assets
Final pillar is the continued process improvement– the reason why our journey never ends
We solve a problem and another raises its head
Need to allow failure in our organizations
What is your corporate goal or mission?
Ask your self this question and consider the solution
There is no way that we can even begin to do a deep dive into this topic in 60 minutes. Here is how you can learn more.
There is no way that we can even begin to do a deep dive into this topic in 60 minutes. Here is how you can learn more.
You can also obtain this book which cam out last August. It provides you with actual case studies of organizations that have done what we are suggesting.
As you know we collected business cards at the beginning of the presentation – one person in this room will go home with a copy today.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as we make our final landing this is not the end of the journey it is just where I get off and you continue your journey of discovery into the development of a strategic, innovative and aligned organization. This is where you begin your journey of delivering results-oriented solutions which will empower you to change your organization.
