Fulcrum Consulting Expands Business Performance Services for Fortune 2000 HR Organizations

June 15, 2010 – Chicago, IL

Dan Emehiser, Managing Partner and COO.

When it’s time to control costs, more and more Fulcrum customers look to their human resources officers to take an active role in implementing change.  The balancing act is more difficult than ever before…aligning short-term cost containment with a plan to maintain and find the talent the company will need for growth.

Most companies have gone through various forms of workforce reductions, compensation adjustments, or both. Hiring and recruiting activities have cooled off for many organizations.  Very few people are looking at the remaining talent mix to ensure it fits the model for a company’s recovery and alignment to long term growth strategies. Even with cost-cutting mandate, companies need the right people in place, while making smart investments in training and staff development.

Dan Emehiser stated during a recent HR workshop: “2009 created a lot of holes in our client’s organizational chart, but the HR function is now in a position to assess the organization’s design model.” “This is also the time to deploy analysis and performance management tools so that organizations can make quick, informed decisions as the business evolves.”  “Large companies should have an accurate map of where critical talent lies — and a plan to keep them and focused on the right work more than ever.”

In response to these HR complexities, Fulcrum Consulting in conjunction with its alliance partner Insight Consulting has launched an Executive Insight Suite of business performance tools to help companies:

  • identify business process vulnerability relative to complexity and staffing,
  • enable right sizing of staff to maximize business effectiveness,
  • optimize staff deployment to best utilize knowledge, skills, and competencies,
  • develop compensation strategies based on performance and contribution,
  • target training programs to boost business performance and staff capabilities, and
  • improve career management, high potential identification, and leadership development

As part of the Executive Insight Suite of products and services, Fulcrum and Insight Consulting offers customers a unique methodology and toolset to:

  • Clearly document business processes while identifying and ranking vulnerability.
  • Reveal hidden opportunities to optimize the effect of the workforce on business processes.
  • Expose the potential effect of human resource decisions on the business by measuring the contribution of each resource to the enterprise.
  • Validate the effectiveness of job requirements for hiring and deployment decisions.

The results of the these services provides customers with a variety of objective metrics that provide management the ability to holistically measure key business factors enabling them to target and predict the effects of organizational improvement initiatives.

As Mr. Emehiser says, “The current business environment gives a HR executive more room to take on strategic changes that might have met resistance in the past,” says Mr. Emehiser.  “This is an opportunity for HR to showcase the real value of their organizations collaboratively with leaders in other parts of the business.”
