The development of a strong strategic direction and the means to implement it effectively is the sole remaining source of competitive advantage in industry today.

One of the most challenging, and often frustrating activities in the year, is to be able to assess all facets of the environment, and create sources of unique value for customers that exceed the cost of creating them. Barker Hoffmann helps organizations integrate strategy formulation with effective organizational implementation to direct, monitor, and evaluate the success of strategy at all levels in the organization.

Corporate & Government Strategic Planning (Top & Senior Management Level) Setting an organization’s direction for the next 5 – 10 years involves a competitive understanding of the business environment, foresight into the possible industry scenarios, and leveraging organizational capability to uncover areas to increase shareholder value. Barker Hoffmann brings together the strategic models and planning tools that systematically facilitate the decision-making process to achieve this.

Business Unit Management Planning (Middle Management Level) Some experts say that a simplistic Strategic Plan, with a rigorous implementation programme, is better than a successful strategic planning process with little or no follow-through. Management Planning involves the conversion of the 5-year strategic plan into annual operational goals, strategies, and action plans for each business unit. In this manner, the various functional areas are synchronized across the value chain towards the achievement of the strategic plan. Barker Hoffmann helps organizations translate the high level strategy into the tactical drivers of successful strategy execution. Strategic Performance Management & Measurement (Frontline Management Level) Conventional wisdom tells us that the management of strategy is the sole responsibility of Senior and Middle Management Levels. But, the ability of Frontline Managers to manage employee performance impacts on the achievement of each Business Units’ Key Tasks that form their Action Plans, which in turn allows them to achieve their Objectives and contribute to the achievement – or not - of the Corporate Plan. Barker Hoffmann equips Frontline Managers with the leadership skills, knowledge, and performance monitoring tools to drive workforce success.

Over the last 20 years HR’s role has shifted dramatically from being an administrative function, to being a strategic business partner to the organization. As boardrooms across the globe recognize that talent is the new sustainable source for competitive advantage, HR professionals are pressured to deliver solutions to challenging workforce issues. The principals of Barker Hoffmann have been involved in developing Human Resource Solutions to meet the developing needs of organizations since 1969, long before the jargon terms such as Talent Management, Competency Profiling, and Human Capital Development became popular in the profession. Over the years, Barker Hoffmann has developed models, tools, and instruments, to help HR professionals worldwide create workforce capabilities that are at the heart of the success of every organization. Barker Hoffmann has solutions to address all areas of the HR function:

Strategic Human Resource Management Core Solution Areas

Recruitment & Selection The acquisition of talent is the first determinant of whether the organization will be productive or not. It will also shape the level of efficiency of any HR initiative. Hiring errors are more common than you think. People have been brought into the organization who lack critical competency requirements, have the wrong fit for the job, and the wrong fit for the organization. On the other hand, high quality hires means less turnover, less training costs, and a better talent pool for succession planning. Barker Hoffmann helps organizations bring objectivity to the assessment and selection process to reduce hiring errors and improve talent quality. Training & Development While classroom programmes will remain as a staple in the employee work experience, training departments are being challenged to bring in more performance-based, blended developmental activities that truly impact behaviour and productivity back on the job. Barker Hoffmann provides organizations with the tools to measure competency gaps, develop learning curriculums, and evaluate the effectiveness of learning interventions. This way, Barker Hoffmann helps organizations create a learning organization committed to sustainable competency development.

Performance Management It has always been the aim for HR divisions to develop a Performance Evaluation System that is fair, objective, and that equitably rewards successful performance. This is now not only achievable, but can also be performed in an easy, hassle-free way. But it begins with the clear establishment of Missions, Key Result Areas, Key Performance Indicators, Tasks and Standards across the organization. With a clear set of roles and accountabilities, employees at all levels in the organization are not only guided of their role in the implementation of strategy, but are able to regulate their performance. Barker Hoffmann helps organizations set clear accountability areas, and the measures by which their performance success will be measured, rewards will be based, and disciplinary action will be enforced. Talent Management, Succession Planning & Career Development Whilst most employers advocate the provision of equal opportunities for growth and career advancement in organizations, HR professionals know that not all positions and individuals are made equal. There are critical positions, scattered across management and technical fields that directly shape the current and long term success of the entire organization. In short, these positions would need the highest level of competencies, the most number of competent successors, and highest level of satisfaction. Barker Hoffmann helps organizations identify these positions, find you sources of people with high potential for vertical mobility, and provide the resources and systems to grow talent sustainably within the organization. Competency Profiling Employee Performance success is a delicate combination of the right mix of skills, knowledge, attitudinal, and motivational elements that fuel productive behaviour. We now use the term “competencies”. Whilst it’s easy to go online and write up a list, there are only a critical number of differentiating competencies that mean success or failure. Barker Hoffmann helps organizations identify these critical competencies through a rigorous study of the job situation, to identify what is most unique about your top performers, and what is it in them that you want to duplicate and spread across the organization. Simultaneously, Barker Hoffmann, with workgroup delegates from all parts of HR, to rigorously implement a Competency-Based Human Resource Management System that integrates the entire HR function within the organization towards the systematic identification, development, and rewarding of the competencies that make the organization succeed.
