CEO.works

While chief financial officers play a prominent public role during earnings season, they are increasingly defining and creating value beyond financial results and tapping capital markets. Nowadays, many CFOs are driving risk management, digital investments, sustainability commitments and more as they seek to generate value across all parts of an organization. As?Sumeet Salwan?discusses, finance leaders work closely with CEOs to ensure all parts of an organization are engaged in work that creates value in a timely manner. Interesting tidbit: Their role dates to at least Christopher Columbus. At?CEO.works, our Talent to Value approach cinches Finance and HR together so both are focused on growing the business.? #cfos #valuecreation #talenttovalue #earnings

Big role, experienced leader, huge business challenge:????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Turns out, a lot. And more than 70% of the time, it’s not a talent issue. The real culprit is the drag of a poorly designed role. Not solving this before someone takes the position potentially hurts the business and that person’s career.? That’s why we created the?????????????????????? assessment to remove the guesswork from important talent decisions. Using proprietary technology, we work with clients to objectively evaluate what the role requires for success – work challenge and role design – and then match those requirements with the talent being considered. By generating a??????????????????????, the algorithm tells us the odds of success for each candidate. Then we work with clients to figure out what levers to pull to boost that score. Different person? Different role definition? Additional resources? We go through it all.? Right person, right role, right time: Everyone wins.? #talent?#management?#HR?#talentedenough?#talenttovalue

Talent is the ghost in the machine. But it’s not talent for talent’s sake—it’s talent connected to value. When the role, the work, and the talent ‘click,’ that’s when you get the boom. No click, no boom. Watch the video to see how we de-risk the value creation plan by making that connection clear. #TalentToValue #Leadership #ValueCreation #Transformation CEO.works Hein J.M.

? At?CEO.works, we don’t craft business strategies—our clients already know their business inside out. So, what do we do? Our proprietary Talent to Value? playbook gives CEOs and their teams the tools to quickly assemble talent and organization where it matters. Often talent strategy focuses on changing people at the top and/or building new teams and capabilities – approaches that take too long in an ever-changing landscape. Our expert team combines real in-house experience transforming businesses with a proven method that delivers results without disrupting the entire organization. Here's how we work:? ?? Simplify strategy: Boil down core elements to single page. These are your Value Hot Spots. ?? Identify key actions and people: Identify the 15-20 roles that deliver 80% of the value. That’s The List. ?? Talent assessment: Help answer the question “Are we talented enough?” to deliver the value. Ensure people and organization are set up to deliver value.? ?? Detail the work: Outline specific tasks, or Jobs to be Done, and assess if each role is set up for success.? ?? Deliver fast: Build the shortest path to value. What are the fewest actions and people needed to deliver the most value in the least time?? Business transformations are tough. That’s why 3 out of 4 fall short of their goals. With Talent to Value?, C-suite leaders can enhance success by thinking big, starting small, and moving quickly. Are you talented enough where it matters? #TalentNotEnough?#Transformation?#Leadership?#talenttovalue
