Exponential excellence in people management

"Each time a larger number of companies include in their mission, that is, in their primal strategic proposal, references to their 'most important asset': the people in those companies. And nevertheless, this asset is not being managed neither with the coherence nor with the strength for what the most important asset should be managed. Providing coherence and a long-term trajectory is the fundamental contribution of the People CMM to the strategy of companies.

In fact, People CMM integrates all those disconnected tools that are used to manage people, in a similar way to what the ISO9001 norm has done for decades with the tools to manage quality. And in the same way that this integrated and long-term vision of quality management that constitute the ISO9001 norms has spread and demonstrated its efficacy raising in exponential ways the quality levels of companies, I believe that People CMM could provide the integrated approach that could help raise in exponential ways the excellence level reached in people management… and not forgetting that they are the most important asset for companies.”

From incoherent tactics to long-term strategy

“People CMM constitute an integrated model to manage people. Therefore at the tactical level it establishes a framework to apply the different tools for people management, to prioritize actions and to facilitate continuous improvement and innovation. It is therefore a great contribution at a tactical level. And, for companies such as the SMEs (small & medium enterprises or “Pymes”) with limited resources in their HR departments, where tactics is everything, it is an opportunity to establish a long-term plan and to move from the incoherent tactic to a tactic aligned with a long-term strategy.”
