The financial and economic crisis has certainly created a difficult environment in which to survive and succeed and leaders need to be strong to maintain motivation and focus during such times. However, several thought leaders are also pointing out that the crisis provides an opportunity and impetus to make the changes in their organisations which are necessary for longer term business success. A number of our clients are engaged in a profound transformation of their businesses and of their approach to talent development and change management. In this briefing, we look at how excellent leadership and attention to the 'human side' of resourcing can enable businesses to effectively seize such opportunities and build even more effective organisations for the future.
