Succession planning beef, anyone?
December 14, 2005
Sometimes all the high-level talk about performance management can leave you - how should I put this? - wanting more. Today I sat through a 45 minute webinar that left me thinking - "alright, I know you CAN do it, and it SHOULD work - but can you show me HOW TO do it, and that it DOES work?" I mean, where’s the beef? Show me the money! Is any of this actually real?
Well, in that vein I came across some data today showing that one of our customers with about 4,000 employees is saving half a million dollars per year on recruiting costs (because they are able to identify and promote more people from within), and has identified 40% more successors than before implementing the technology. I’m not bringing this up to toot our SuccessFactors horn (alright, maybe just a little) but instead, to show you some beef.
It’s easy to get caught up in the jargon and sales pitches when you’re talking about enterprise software. Don’t forget to ask about the beef.
