TSM is proud to announce a new product line…TSM Career Development Systems^®.

 

TSM set out to find the best leaders to bring the finest workforce strategy systems to market.  After years of research and development…and practical experience, we’re ready to provide workforce development strategies, systems, and programs that are so powerful they will result in workforce talent becoming a significant competitive advantage for your organization.

 

What We Do:

 

We help organizations focus on understanding the workforce as well as they understand their customers -- What attracts them and leads them to stay or leave?  How does retention impact the organization?  Who gets hired, who stays, who advances, how are rewards distributed, how is talent developed, and who leads organizations and how are they prepared to do so?

 

Our unique 3-D: Design, Develop, Deliver System^® starts out from a strategic perspective to help you figure out where you want to go (Design).  This includes a requirements-based assessment of your organization’s vision, business objectives, and skill set needs.  It then moves to an operational perspective to help you figure out what you need to do (Develop), and transitions to a tactical perspective to show you how to do it (Deliver).  Good workforce strategy recognizes the drivers for competitive advantage and then aligns people, policies, and actions with them.

 

TSM’s 3-D Process helps an organization calculate what it will take to generate more value with your workforce.  We look at an organization’s “people resource” as a valued asset, not a cost.  To do this, we help you find those factors in your organization that distinctively contribute to your performance (or eat away at it) and help you manage them aggressively.  We do this by pinpointing causes (not effects) to make powerful strategic decisions.  This amounts to a new design for managing the workforce.

 

Why Invest in Workforce Development:

 

Consider the money your organization would make and save if you always hired the right people, developed them so they had the right knowledge and skills, and were able to retain them.  Training the wrong people and losing your best people are expensive propositions. 

 

What would your bottom line look like if your people were able to make decisions just 10% better?

 

In spite of the fact that approximately 75% of an organization’s costs are labor-related, for the most part these costs are incurred in the administration and management of people—not in attracting, developing, and retaining them. 

 

It is now clear that obtaining, developing, and then retaining the thinking skills of the best employees is a key remaining source of sustainable competitive advantage.

 

Therefore, a healthy workforce strategy is built on attracting the right people, hiring them, developing them, retaining them, and then placing them in positions where they help achieve business objectives.  This is what TSM Career^® Development Systems can do for you.

 

Why Invest in TSM Career Development Systems^®:

 

TSM Career Development Systems^® provides you with proven, highly successful directors with real-world, practical experience.  We're workforce strategists who use a common sense approach to address your “people resource”.

 

We focus on value:  We look at an organization’s "people resource" as a valued asset, not a cost.  There’s a limit to cost reduction (an organization can only cut so many employees) but there’s no cap to value creation.

 

We will help you attain a clear, measurable return on investment by using a systems approach to:

• Get to the root of your workforce challenges and tap in to the uniqueness of your organization, its performance trends, and workforce patterns

• Define what you need to/want to do with the people who make up your organization and, more importantly, how to do it
• Connect your business strategy to workforce strategy
• Transition your able people into forward-thinking leaders - focused on the right things, not just doing things right
• Create leaders who, in turn, create environments that encourage people to stay, develop themselves, and be the best they can be
• Conduct deliberate, not wasted, development--Right person, Right opportunity, Right time
• Find a balance between employees’ desires and potential and the needs of the organization to create successful outcomes

 

Our approach is built on the basic belief that the only remaining source of competitive advantage is found in an organization’s people.  The world has shifted “ages” from the Industrial Age to the Technological Age and, from there, to the Information Age.  But organizations have begun to figure out that all the information in the world isn’t worth a thing without people who know what to do with it.
