To Be – HR Solutions
WHAT I ENJOY DOING
Last 15 years out of 30+ years of my professional career I enjoyed the most challenging assignments such as
Managing the transition of HR while undergoing complex Mergers and Acquisitions spanning continents as well as local.
Enabling a growth oriented Organization Development ecosystem by deploying effective and time bound HR initiatives.
Leveraging technology for building a right size team and monitoring per person productivity.
Building HR initiatives around Senior Leadership Team building, Roles and Skill alignments, Strength Oriented role allocation, Talent identification to Talent engagement and developed strong Business partnership.
8000 employees managed thru a team across locations. Do include words such as Asia Pacific...etc. Do also mention that you had positively influenced business outcomes by managing HR. Once you put these 5-10 lines on paper, the second paragraph could be the content which is right now in your first paragraph. This way, you will build credibility and catch attention in the first 5-10 lines. Post that, the recipient will be interested in knowing about your passion (which is currently your first para)
After more than 30 years of corporate life when I decided to pursue my independent venture in to advisory space, I reflected on my career of last 15 years with the one organization and how it underwent massive changes.
I strongly believe that EXPERIENCE is not WHAT HAPPENS to you but WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT HAPPENS to you. I learned a lot in last 15 years how to help navigating the organization through complex and challenging period and still GROW. I ENJOYED the journey the most.
Every entrepreneur, at whatever stage they are in organization life cycle, has GROWTH agenda. Fundamentally effective management for any organization is the truth that all organizations, like any living organisms, have a lifecycle and undergo very predictable and repetitive patterns of behavior as they grow and develop.
At each new stage of development an organization is faced with a unique set of challenges. How well or poorly management addresses these challenges, and leads a healthy transition from one stage to the next, has a significant impact on the success or failure of their organization
TO BE successful is the only answer and our advice and interventions focuses on partnering with the Entrepreneur/CEO to jointly understand and address the current state and TO BE state.
I have vast experience in Coaching High Potential managers. Apart from India, I have undertaken coaching assignments in US and Europe for their local talents. Leadership Development is one of the core interest area for me.
I also have exposure to HR Capability audit and help in developing effective HR function for the organization.
In my corporate role I have successfully handled several M & A related challenging HR Integration projects starting with due diligence to rolling out integrated business.
Recruitment business and training delivery business is not in my enjoyment list and I believe that in advisory role it creates conflict of interest.
