It’s hard to think of an important aspect of management more neglected than people development.  Yet for a variety of reasons, this valuable activity is often ignored or handled as a bureaucratic exercise or an afterthought.  Due to this, organizations pay a high price in terms of the loss of talented people.

We at Faber Infinite appreciate that people are the pivotal success factor in the value creation process and for organization’s development into a true high performance company.

Our teams work on “Change Management” and “Learning and Development” themes together with the client’s senior management and have implemented numerous programs.

In one of the people development program conducted at a textile machine manufacturing industry, involved a management conclave with the objective to build a high performance leadership team, improve team building, co-operation and refining the team vision and mission with the intent to achieve the goals. Various experiential learning sessions were conducted to drive key messages; few of which are listed below:

– Dealing with uncertainty
– Coordination across the teams
– Role clarity
– Link between communication process and decision making
– Understand functionality or dysfunctional and impact on the group
– Organizational discipline
– Diversity and its impact on relationship
– Goal orientation

Faber Infinite has been involved with a variety of such people development offerings, which helps client to achieve their goals and grow.

In another engagement, Faber Infinite conducted a comprehensive program with reputed textile manufacturing organization in Kenya. Along with mapping the organizational climate in terms of teamwork and source of motivation, the aim of the program was improving the leadership practices.

One final thought: People Development planning doesn’t have to be elaborate or costly.  If it’s done well, the payoff can be substantial in terms of long-term loyalty.  If it’s not, the costs can be substantial in terms of long-term talent.
