The organisational boundaries in the 21st century are going to be shaped by companies that are the intermediaries between producers and consumers.
In today's turbulent business environment, the advantage lies with organisations whose leaders are continually scanning the external environment, engaging in organisational dialogue, and, participating in learning processes in order to discover possibilities, mobilize positive energy, and, build commitment within their organisations to achieve a shared, robust view of the Future. Research shows that leaders who are adept at positioning their organisation for future success consistently demonstrate three skills:
1. Futurist: Anticipatory leaders understand the dynamics of the organisation's environment by thinking through and beyond the obvious. They explore developments in other industries, in a variety of sciences, and, in worldwide markets, and collect ideas from both conventional and obscure sources. They discern patterns that help make sense of daily headlines. They are relentless students of emerging trends. They are skilled in understanding and explaining how the strength and interaction among external forces shape their organisation's context, and, study the interactions among forces generating these patterns and micro trends.
2. Strategist: Anticipatory leaders are able to see the possibilities such trends may demonstrate, particularly in combination, by weaving seemingly disparate information into newer combinations. They use their structural insight to communicate within their organisations and collaborate with their employees to formulate high-leverage strategies that result in market-dominating products and services. Understanding the dynamics at play allows the organisation to adapt to take advantage of these forces, either to create opportunities or to minimise threats. Google's vision of the role that it intends to play in the future of web television is an example of such a strategic insight at work.

Continuous Learning For Growth
Of late, for organizations particularly in the service sector, people have become the strategy. And, if that is the case, the Learning and Development (L&D) department in organizations, and the industry in general, is likely to witness significant growth in 2017 and the years thereafter.

As the boundaries of life between work and home continue to blur, employers and employees are sitting up and are noticing the ways and means to offer and avail a worthwhile experience at the workplace.
Striking The Right Balance
In 2017, an employee in the HR Department of a leading global company received an excel sheet attachment in his official mail. While the content seemed harmless, it was in fact a well disguised Ransomware attack which had in fact placed several companies worldwide in the dock. Ransomware attacks targeting HR departments across the globe have since been in vogue since they possess valuable employee data which can be used to commit crimes such as tax frauds and the like.
The Multifaceted Advantages Of AI
AI can speed and automate data collection, make fundamental observations, systemize HR issues, and differentiate customer and employee profiles. But, corrective measures and final decisions can only be approved by people who can understand how to leverage AI tools to acquire accurate information sans the noise and interpret them the right way.
Engagement Surveys: A Means Or An End?
Surveys are not merely a way to check the pulse of the organisation; they should ideally be used as vehicles to improve the organisation culture, people practices and employee experiences which gradually translate into business success.
What Is And What Needs!

A Matter Of Strategic Timing!
The term 'work-life balance' has become a popular chant for all working professionals today. A world of different opinions continue to pervade our lives, with one actually affirming that there truly is no direct relationship between the parallel worlds we live in.
Picture Out Of The Frame
A few months ago, Moon Jae-in, the President of South Korea, made an unusual announcement.

How Can They Fire Her?
It is a common phenomenon in the corporate landscape to misinterpret the inability to respond to a query by a Manager as a serious lapse which at times leads to termination of his/her services. As a fallout, not only do they risk losing out a person with superior managerial skills, they also dampen the spirit of the juniors in her department, leading to sinking morale and reduced engagement.
