Markus Bernhardt and his team have produced a unique piece of research. It is not a case study to illustrate a thesis, but a thesis assembled around eight powerful and varied case studies. These establish the dimensions of Applied Workforce Solutions, which are plotted across a four-element model separating the organizations into: efficiency accelerators, strategic enablers, capability creators, and core process innovators. Essentially, this report is all about the ways to connect learning to business value. Read it, and you will have a clear roadmap to achieve this in whichever way works best for your organization.
