San Ramon, CA (PRWEB) August 31, 2005 -– Further expanding its leading
strategic human capital management (HCM) consulting services, Knowledge Infusion
today announced it is leveraging its expertise in the workforce performance
management space to help customers boost employee performance management
initiatives for 2006 and beyond. Knowledge Infusion experts will work closely
with customers to help them redesign their employee performance review process,
select a vendor that fits their organizational goals and technology
requirements, and develop an operational and deployment plan to guarantee a
successful roll-out.
Whether an organization is looking to deploy an
employee performance management solution in time for January 2006 or at a later
date, Knowledge Infusion offers the following four-phased consulting service
that can be completed in a rapid one-month time period:
* Strategy &
Process Alignment
By combining its depth of experience and best practices in
designing performance management processes and solutions for Fortune 500
companies with each customer’s unique business needs, Knowledge Infusion will
help organizations rapidly define a performance management strategy. This
initial phase will recommend an operational future state by examining the
customer’s existing performance management business challenges.
*
Operational Design & Conversion Strategy
This phase will provide
customers with an operational plan that includes a detailed definition of their
targeted business results as well as a plan as to how the organization can
achieve these goals while minimizing business disruption.
*
Product/Technology Assessment & Selection
Knowledge Infusion will work
with the customers to create an RFP and provide a neutral vendor analysis and
recommendation for solution procurement. Additionally, this step will help
organizations evaluate vendors’ fit with business objectives, IT requirements,
operational design requirements, and broader workforce performance management
strategy.
* Rapid Project Transition
The final phase includes a cross
functional team meeting with all organizations involved in the project such as
HR, IT, Communications, Training and Organizational Change. Knowledge Infusion
will help drive an “Internal Awareness Meeting” involving business leaders and
interested parties to ensure that the internal deployment of the project will be
successfully rolled out. Customers may also choose to leverage Knowledge
Infusion’s “Deployment Excellence” consulting service to enhance their success
and augment internal marketing efforts around the project.
“As
organizations adopt performance management and address the issue of connecting
people and processes to drive improvement in the organization, there is a
critical imperative to improve the value and outcomes of the workforce which has
created an initiative called Workforce Performance Management,” said Mark Smith,
CEO and Senior Vice President of Research at Ventana Research, a Performance
Management research and advisory services firm. “This initiative has become a
strategic priority not only for HR organizations, but for operations and finance
departments as well.”
“Since most organizations align the start of their
employee performance review cycles with the calendar year, it is crucial they
understand that it’s not too late to roll-out a new performance management
strategy for 2006,” said Jason Averbook, CEO of Knowledge Infusion. “By
leveraging Knowledge Infusion’s unmatched expertise in this area, we can empower
our customers to execute on their future workforce performance management
initiatives, creating a positive impact on the organization’s culture as well as
its overall performance.”
