Learning from Natural World Observations
by :
most technologies and best practiceshave been developed from the naturalworld observations - planes from birds,
pills from plants and computers frombrains. Here we explore what lessons
can be applied to workforceengagement?
Workforce Engagement
PROCESSMECHANISM STRUCTURE
Applying this to engagementWHY?
energy
the three critical things neededfor life to come forth
laws of physics shouldpermit stable complex
structures to form
place should havesubstances needed for
biology & reactions
setting must exist inwhich components
come together in theright way & time
bird's trajectory is shaped by its geneticand neurological states and an energyaccountant will tell the bird if it is ableto make a longer trip for food
process and
structure marry up or 'aligned'
Applying this to engagementmeans culture, energy and
instructions come together in linewith capacity and objectives with
a fuller understanding of causeand effect relationships
rules
energymatter
all physical systems process
information in anelementary sense
"US firms with no concrete talent strategy" (Bersin-Deloitte 2012)
93%Employers ‘reap what they sow’ and if you don'tlike what you're getting out you need to look atwhat you’re putting in
Employee disengagement costs at least
difference between life and death - eight orders of data(10) differentiate between a dead and living bacterium cell

for life 3 criticalthings are energy,
information andknow how
if Earth was a fewpercent closer to the
Sun - water would eitherevaporate or freeze
food-air give energy.Inside cells electronsare stripped to feed
oxygen
Employee disengagement costs at least£52bn to the UK economy and
$450BN to US economy
1%1 in 4 star performers planning to leave
current employer within year (CEB 2010)
65% concerned about losing stars(towers & watson 2010)
"bye-bye"
growth in productivityworth at least £2.5trillion
Knowledge & skills in UK worth £17 trillionequivalent to 2.5 times value of tangible assets
including buildings, vehicles, plant & machinery
