Why My Book Pivoted: From Theory to Actionable Tools That Save Time, Costs, and Drive Results for HR and Business leaders

9/10/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
After beginning my journey to write this book, it only took me a few weeks to realize something significant: the world doesn’t need yet another book filled with abstract theories. There’s already more than enough information available on platforms like ChatGPT, Google, and numerous academic sources.
​

What businesses and HR professionals truly need are actionable tools, templates, and processes they can use right away to save time, cut costs, and achieve tangible results. This revelation completely shifted my approach to writing, leading me to spend 5,000 hours over the past 5 years perfecting this book into something practical and transformational.

1. Practical Tools = 40% More Efficiency

According to research from the Harvard Business Review -
 "Businesses that adopt structured templates and frameworks—whether in project management, workforce development, or strategy—experience 40% higher efficiency compared to businesses that rely purely on theoretical knowledge."
Tools that are actionable reduce guesswork, streamline workflows, and empower teams to take effective steps without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.
​

This was the core of my realization. Professionals don’t need more theory; they need resources they can implement immediately to increase efficiency. This book is structured to provide templates and step-by-step guides, ensuring businesses can start applying solutions from day one.

2. Time Savings: Up to 30% Faster Results

One of the biggest issues HR professionals and leaders face is wasted time on trial-and-error methods, especially when trying to apply complex theoretical concepts to real-world situations. In fact, a report by McKinsey & Company found that -
"Leaders who use pre-built models and templates for workforce development can save up to 30% of their time compared to those who spend time figuring out processes from scratch."
This book addresses that exact pain point by providing tested templates for employee onboarding, workforce optimization, and organizational change. Instead of wasting precious time reinventing the wheel, leaders can focus their energy on execution and see results faster
Join Priority List

3. Reducing Costs by 20-25% with Actionable Resources

Another key realization was the cost implications of relying on trial-and-error processes. Businesses often spend large amounts of money on consulting fees, training programs, and extended project timelines due to a lack of structured resources. According to a study by Deloitte - ​
"Businesses that adopt pre-defined frameworks and actionable tools reduce their operational costs by 20-25%, as these tools eliminate inefficiencies and costly mistakes."
​By focusing on cost-saving, ready-to-use resources, this book provides organizations with the ability to cut costs, streamline HR processes, and optimize workforce performance without the need for costly external help. Every chapter in this book is built with the intention of saving time and money, all while helping organizations hit their goals faster.

The Shift: From Theoretical to Actionable
📚 So, I pivoted. My focus shifted entirely to delivering high-impact resources—actionable steps, templates, and tools—that HR professionals and business leaders can implement immediately. These practical tools don’t just save time; they also cut costs and ensure businesses reach their goals faster, helping companies become 50% more likely to achieve measurable outcomes according to research from Bain & Company .
No more fluff. Just proven, practical strategies designed to make workforce transformation simpler, more cost-effective, and far more efficient.

Conclusion: Rethinking What Value Really Looks LikeThis shift wasn't easy. It took countless hours of rethinking, rewriting, and restructuring. But it was absolutely necessary. Sometimes, we need to step back and ask ourselves: What does real value look like? In today’s fast-paced business world, real value comes in the form of tools that save time, money, and drive actual results.
​
So, I invite you to rethink your own approach. What processes or strategies could benefit from being more actionable? How can you streamline your efforts to get faster, better results?
Stay tuned for the release of the book—it’s not just another theory-laden read. It’s a complete toolkit for transforming your workforce.

Unlock the secret to transforming your business: From struggles to multi-million dollar success

8/28/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Is your business ready for the next level of growth? If you're a Human Resource professional, business leader, or entrepreneur, the success of your company depends on one crucial factor: your workforce. But what does it take to truly transform your workforce and scale your business from $1M to $10M, $100M, or even beyond?
Picture
1. Who is in charge of your company’s growth?

Business infrastructure consists of one essential element: the workforce. The responsibility for managing and optimizing this workforce falls on three key groups:

  • Human Resource Professionals
  • Managers and Business Leaders (including directors, C-suite executives, and mid-level managers)
  • Business Owners
If you’re part of one of these groups, you know that growth isn't just a buzzword; it's the ultimate goal. But achieving real, sustainable growth requires more than just ambition - it requires a strategic approach.
Picture
2. Understanding the Levels of Business Growth

​Every company aspires to climb the business ladder, but few understand the structured levels of growth:
  • Level 1: Startups with $0 million in revenue.
  • Level 2: Businesses generating $1M to $10M in revenue.
  • Level 3: Companies achieving $10M to $100M in revenue.
  • Level 4: Enterprises with $100M to $1B in revenue.
  • Level 5: Giants making $1B to $100B or more.
Moving from one level to the next is the true measure of growth. But how do you get there?

Picture
3. The Secret to Scaling: Workforce Transformation
​
In my 15 years as a C-level executive, working on different billion-dollar business transformations, I've learned that strategies and digital transformations fall short without one key element: the workforce. This realization led to the concept of Workforce Transformation - a powerful process that focuses on three pillars: people, processes, and technology.
​

By effectively integrating these three elements, you can create what I call "micro-breakthroughs." These micro-breakthroughs are small yet significant steps that help your business ascend from one level to the next sub-level. For instance, a company earning $1M in revenue won't jump directly to $10M. The journey involves hitting incremental milestones $2M, $3M, $5M, $7M, and finally $10M. This approach is more manageable and tailored to your business’s unique context
Picture
4. How to Achieve Workforce Transformation

The process of Workforce Transformation isn't just a theory; it's a practical, step-by-step guide outlined in my upcoming book. Over the past five years, I've dedicated nearly 5,000 hours to developing this comprehensive resource. The book provides:
  • Actionable Steps - A clear roadmap to guide your business from one level to the next.
  • 40+ Ready-to-Use Templates - Tools you can apply immediately to your workforce.
  • Industry Benchmarks - Metrics to assess your progress and stay on track.
  • A Proven Framework - Strategies that ensure sustainable growth.
This is not just a business book; it’s a comprehensive toolkit that empowers you to transform your company from the inside out.

Business Growth Strategy - "Discipline Culture" in the Workforce Flywheel Framework

7/15/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
This issue has escalated from a simple people issue to an extreme cultural crisis. Today, we focus on HR branding, which is crucial. How often do we encounter situations where we avoid hiring from certain companies due to their negative culture?

HR professionals, HR leaders, and business leaders, let's delve into these scenarios and see how they resonate with you:
  1. Employee Demotivation: Employees are uninterested and disengaged with their work, showing little enthusiasm or productivity.
  2. High Turnover Intentions: A significant number of employees are actively seeking new job opportunities and are ready to leave at the first chance.
  3. Management Distrust: Employees believe that management's primary goal is to push them to work harder, leading to a culture where employees try to do as little as possible.

​If any of these situations sound familiar, this video is perfect for you. I will share tools and research to address these issues effectively.
Research InsightsOur research, conducted since 2021 across 200 companies, revealed some startling insights. Of these companies, 40% were multinational, 40% were local corporations, and 20% were established startups. We discovered that in companies with profitability below 5% growth, 80% of the workforce was either actively or passively seeking new opportunities.
​
Another insight was the disconnect between leaders and employees. Leaders often view employees as obstacles rather than extensions of their efforts. This mindset is prevalent in about 85% of companies surveyed.
Addressing the Cultural IssueThis is a significant issue that has become ingrained in company culture. In our study of hundreds of companies, we found that 30% suffer from a severely negative culture. To solve this problem, we utilize the Workforce Flywheel Framework, which consists of three columns: Disciplined People, Disciplined Process, and Disciplined Culture. The issue we're addressing today falls under Disciplined Culture.

Building a Positive CultureCreating a positive culture involves two fundamental steps:
​
  1. Preparation: Just like cooking a meal, you need to follow a recipe, gather ingredients, and cook them properly. Similarly, to move from one business level to the next (e.g., from $20 million to $100 million in revenue), you must first design the culture needed to support that growth. Identify companies that have achieved your target revenue and analyze their culture, then customize and implement those elements in your own company.
  2. Sustainability: Once the culture is designed and deployed, sustaining it requires two key factors:
    • HR Systems: Implementing effective, cost-efficient, and process-oriented HR systems to maintain the culture.
    • HR Branding: Aligning your HR branding with the desired company culture to attract suitable talent. This means that if you aim to grow to $100 million in revenue, your branding should reflect that level to attract the right employees.

How Pro Workforce Flywheel Framework can drive business growth and profitability

5/31/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Pro Workforce Flywheel Framework is a strategic model designed to create and sustain momentum in workforce development, ultimately driving business growth and success. This framework focuses on a continuous cycle of improvement and optimization in various aspects of workforce management, from recruitment and training to employee engagement and performance management. 

Building a flywheel effect in a business can create sustained momentum and drive long-term success. The question is how?

Here are the key benefits of developing a flywheel effect:

Continuous Improvement and Growth:
  • The flywheel effect leverages small, consistent efforts to generate significant momentum over time. Each improvement and success builds upon the previous one, creating a cycle of continuous growth and enhancement.
  • Jim Collins, in his book "Good to Great," highlights how companies that develop a flywheel effect achieve remarkable long-term growth by focusing on disciplined, incremental improvements.


Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity:

As the flywheel gains momentum, processes become more efficient and streamlined. The cumulative effect of repeated actions and optimizations leads to higher productivity and reduced operational costs.
  • According to a McKinsey & Company report, organizations that adopt continuous improvement practices see a 30% increase in productivity within three years.


Increased Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty:
Consistently delivering value and positive experiences to customers builds trust and loyalty. As satisfied customers become repeat buyers and advocates, they contribute to the flywheel's momentum, driving further growth.
  • Bain & Company found that increasing customer retention rates by 5% can boost profits by 25% to 95%, demonstrating the powerful impact of customer loyalty on profitability.


Sustainable Competitive Advantage:
The flywheel effect creates a self-reinforcing cycle that is difficult for competitors to replicate. As the business continuously improves and grows stronger, it establishes a sustainable competitive advantage.
  • A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) revealed that companies with strong continuous improvement cultures outperform their peers by 2:1 in revenue growth and profitability.


Resilience and Adaptability:
A well-built flywheel enables a business to adapt to changes and challenges more effectively. The momentum generated by the flywheel helps the organization remain resilient and responsive to market shifts and disruptions.
  • Research by the Harvard Business Review indicates that companies with robust continuous improvement frameworks are more agile and better equipped to navigate economic downturns and market volatility.

Scalability and Long-Term Success:
The flywheel effect supports scalable growth by building a solid foundation of efficient processes, customer loyalty, and continuous improvement. As the business scales, the flywheel's momentum accelerates, driving long-term success.
  • A report by Deloitte highlights that businesses focusing on long-term value creation through continuous improvement and customer-centric strategies achieve sustainable growth and superior financial performance.

Employee Engagement and Development:
A flywheel effect fosters a culture of continuous learning and development. Employees are more engaged and motivated when they see their contributions driving tangible results and growth.
  • According to Gallup, highly engaged teams show 21% greater profitability and 17% higher productivity, emphasizing the importance of employee engagement in achieving business success.

Reinforced Brand Reputation:
Consistent delivery of value and positive experiences enhances the company's brand reputation. A strong reputation attracts more customers, talent, and business opportunities, further fueling the flywheel.
  • Edelman's Trust Barometer reports that companies with high trust and strong reputations benefit from greater customer loyalty, higher market share, and increased profitability.
​In summary, building a flywheel effect in a business leads to continuous improvement, increased efficiency, higher customer satisfaction, sustainable competitive advantage, resilience, scalability, employee engagement, and a reinforced brand reputation. These benefits collectively drive long-term profitability and success, creating a virtuous cycle of growth and momentum.

What is the biggest LEVER in the business?So why not put the right effort into growing that 10x?

5/29/2024

​In the previous season of VSHR Pro Academy Research and Lunch,
​"30% of the HR leaders shared that the CEO's support is the number 1 obstacle in workforce transformation."
But after 6 months, the last Friday in Pro Research and lunch season 3, we found around 50% of HR leaders shared the biggest obstacles are - Expertise and Resources.


That clearly shows that 'Expertise & resources' are the number 1 factors in making a company win in this economy. Let's take a look at three more insights on this in terms of business impacts when a business focuses on expertise:


Productivity Increase: According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, a 10% increase in workforce education level can lead to an 8.6% increase in productivity per employee.


Revenue Growth: Deloitte’s research shows that companies with strong learning cultures, which continuously enhance employee expertise, are 92% more likely to innovate and 52% more productive. These companies also tend to experience 37% higher revenue per employee compared to those that do not prioritize skill development.


Profitability Impact: Research by McKinsey & Company indicates that organizations investing in skill development can see a return on investment (ROI) of 6 to 1. Moreover, companies in the top quartile for employee skill levels experience profitability that is 25% higher than those in the bottom quartile.


So the goal is to gain a higher level of expertise and resources in each level of the business, which means - C Suie, HOD, Middle manager, and Executive. Because expertise is the lever for solving business challenges.


Here is one resource that can be included with the HR transformative skillset which is 100x Business Workforce, to create breakthroughs in business by workforce.

Transformation is a project and a tool to win quick revenue !?!

5/22/2024

​Transformation is a project and a tool to win quick revenue !?!

A Board member speaking, is that person's expertise aligned with input/ not?


After a major board meeting, myself and the company's CFO both were standing in front of a critical challenge. The board demanded rapid growth, pushing us towards quick fixes for immediate financial gains.


However, CFO and I knew that would not bring us success. We believed true transformation required a strategic, long-term approach.
Picture
Over years, I have witnessed dozens of companies crumble after pursuing short-term profits without sustainable strategies. I was determined not to repeat that mistake, CFO and I presented a bold plan to the board.


Instead of chasing quick wins, we proposed investing in innovation, developing digital services, employee development, and process optimization.


Our approach wasn’t just about the numbers. We collaborated with all departments, understanding their needs and aligning the transformation goals with the company’s core values. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement, we ensured that every change was sustainable and beneficial in the long run.


Well, it was not a smooth sail in front of the board. Board members challenged, and raised new points which helped us to rethink and optimize our plan even better.


The key factor was - In the board the person is speaking is that person's expertise aligned to their input or not?


Finally, we started to execute with the rubber stamp of the board. The results started slow but it was building up like a snowball. During the runway to form the snowball, one of the critical factors was the stakeholder's expectation management.


Particularly some board members who did not have the same lens as us. So I enabled them with proper lense, so they could realize the progress.


Over the years, the company didn’t just see a spike in profits and valuation; we experienced steady growth, improved employee satisfaction, and strengthened market position. Together, CFO and I proved that transformation, when approached as a comprehensive business process, leads to enduring success.


True transformation isn’t about quick wins. It’s about building a foundation for lasting success.

Senior Leadership Development Strategy in Retail Industry

5B USD lost! Discover the critical leadership mistakes that led to

J.C. Penney’s dramatic downfall in just one year. Is your business at risk
Picture
Retail Industry and Senior Leadership Insights, Deloitte reported 49% of retail companies experienced a decline in revenue due to leadership failures.


Impacts on business Revenue due to Senior Leadership Failure


Due to senior leadership failure, J.C. Penney's revenue fell sharply from $17.3 billion in 2011 to $12.9 billion in 2012, a decline of 25%. The company reported a net loss of $985 million. Why?

  • Poor Strategic Decisions: The appointment of CEO Ron Johnson in 2011 led to drastic and poorly executed changes in pricing strategy, store layout, and marketing, alienating the company's core customer base.

  • Lack of Customer Understanding: The leadership underestimated the importance of J.C. Penney’s traditional customer base and made sweeping changes without adequate market research, leading to a decline in customer loyalty.

  • Wrong Financial Strategy: The leadership’s failure to manage finances effectively resulted in increased debt and cash flow problems, exacerbating the company’s financial instability.



How to avoid such revenue loss?

Solution is to develop a strong pillar, "Descipline People" taking the senior leadership team as the core brick to form the workforce flywheel effect in business.


Target successfully navigated similar challenges by implementing a strategic turnaround plan focusing on digital transformation, store optimization, and an enhanced customer experience.


Target used the workforce flywheel effect to achieve 10.2% net income , from $2.74 billion in 2016 to $3.02 billion in 2017. Here where their key steps -

  • Digital Transformation: Investing in digital capabilities enabled Target to compete effectively in the growing e-commerce market, enhancing convenience and accessibility for customers.

  • Store Optimization: By optimizing store layouts and enhancing the in-store experience, Target was able to increase foot traffic, improve customer satisfaction, and boost sales.

  • Customer-Centric Strategies: Focusing on personalized marketing and loyalty programs helped Target build stronger relationships with customers, driving repeat business and increasing customer loyalty.



P.S. Among those strategies, which one will be most affordable for you to apply to your company?

Transformative HR and workforce Toolkit: Summary of 100x Business Workforce

4/21/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Drawing on 7+ years of research and a transformative nonprofit experience, "100x Business Workforce" author John Masud Parvez reveals a critical insight: people are the true infrastructure of a successful company. His passion for aligning purpose with profit ignited when he faced burnout while trying to scale his nonprofit. Traditional HR methods proved ineffective, leading him to develop innovative models and tools for fostering "micro-breakthroughs" that drive exponential company growth.

This book shares the stories of HR professionals like Sarah and Mai, who struggled with outdated tools and limited opportunities in a rapidly evolving business landscape.  It emphasizes that today's HR leaders must become strategic partners, driving business goals rather than just managing processes.

Who Should Read This Book:
  • HR professionals seeking to become key drivers of business growth
  • CEOs and founders who want to maximize the potential of their workforce.
  • Manager who wants to build up superstar team in the company

Why?

John Masud Parvez wrote "100x Business Workforce" after six years of HR research. His own experience founding the non-profit VSHR exposed a critical truth: without the right people strategy, even purpose-driven organizations struggle. Frustrated by traditional HR methods, he sought a way to align passion with performance.  Combining his CIO and business expertise with lessons from mentors, he created innovative HR tools and models.  Applying these to VSHR led to rapid growth and impact, proving his powerful belief:
“People are the infrastructure of a Company.”
Business Breakthrough and Micro-breakthrough 

A company or organization needs to continuously create micro-breakthroughs by the workforce and leader of the company to build up the progressive momentum that finally takes a company to the next level in terms of business growth. A company’s HR department needs to constantly focus on people, expertise, and strategy to facilitate micro-breakthroughs for the workforce and leaders. The beauty is also the different expertise, people, and strategies required to facilitate different micro-breakthroughs at different business levels. That sounds like a puzzle, right? But you will find a vision, roadmap, approach, tools, methodologies, and templates to make that happen for your company when you reach the last page of this book.

Career Story of HR Professional

The book commences with the narrative of Sarah Nguyen, who initially excelled in her role. However, shifting industry dynamics, varying business levels, and CEO expectations shook her confidence and hindered her career achievements. The underlying issue stemmed from her lack of access to updated tools and guidelines essential for success in this evolving landscape. Additionally, the book shares the story of Mai Nguyen, who tirelessly endeavored to prove herself and even pursued opportunities in smaller-sized businesses to advance her career in HR. Despite her efforts, she faced challenges securing these opportunities as CEOs, COOs, and GMs sought HR leaders capable of actively contributing to business growth and objectives. The book emphasizes that to acquire such skill sets, HR professionals require access to a comprehensive toolbox and ample practice opportunities to effectively demonstrate their capabilities during interview discussions.

What type of HR leader are you or are you becoming?

In HR, there are four primary career segments that range from entry-level positions to more senior positions: advisors, service providers, and solution providers. This book provides, a mindmap of 8 types of CHRO as follows:

This scorecard provides guidelines, a customized report, and industry benchmarks, and there are no fees for this. 

Besides that, the book has different types of smoke tests to identify the present position of the HR departments. Here, positions mean how the other department staff, leaders, and CEO look at the HR department. 

3P Principles framework to build 10x Workforce 

Author-guided, we will leverage the 3P Principle framework, which will aid us in comprehending and addressing three fundamental principles for the company. This framework will serve as a valuable resource for guiding our next steps. So let’s start with the first principle 

Principle 1: What game are we in business?
​

The concept of an infinite game mindset in business comes from the book "The Infinite Game" by Simon Sinek. An infinite game is a game with no defined endpoint, where the goal is to keep playing and to keep others in the game as well. In the context of business, an infinite game mindset means focusing on long-term success and staying in the game for the long haul, rather than just trying to win short-term victories. 

How does this create a blind spot for the HR department or manager? A human resources (HR), manager or CEO strategy lacking an infinite game mindset often focuses solely on short-term wins and immediate objectives, neglecting long-term sustainability and adaptability. Instead of fostering a culture of continuous improvement and growth, such a strategy may prioritize cost-cutting measures, reactive problem-solving, and rigid policies. This approach can lead to disengaged employees, high turnover rates, and an inability to navigate evolving challenges in the competitive landscape. Without an infinite game mindset, HR strategies may struggle to foster innovation, nurture talent development, and align with the organization's overarching goals and values.

Principle 2: How do you win the infinite game of business?

Think of growing a business like climbing a staircase. You've got to reach that amazing view at the top, but you need to take each step to get there.  Businesses need those smaller wins to keep moving forward. But, if you're busy trying to solve problems way up on the 5th floor when you're still on the first, well, you're going to get stuck.

Those first-floor problems don't just disappear – they'll trip you up later. So, the big question is: how do we figure out where we are on the staircase and tackle those problems head-on so we can keep climbing?


Principle 3: How do we solve the right problem at the right time?
First things first – businesses don't grow in a straight line. There are stages, and things like money, profits, and all that financial stuff are good indicators of where you're at. Now, every industry's a little different, and how fast you move depends on a bunch of factors.

But generally, we can define businesses in five common stages –  from making zero dollars all the way up to those huge companies generating revenue in billions. Let's break down each stage by how much money the business makes in a year. Our goal? Figure out what it takes to get a perfect 10/10 score and move on up to that next level!
Picture
In the above table, the author showed a table that is called the 10x business growth framework. This framework clearly shows what we need to focus on to grow our business in different stages. So as HR professionals, CEOs, and managers, we need to identify the priorities at different stages of the business. The framework table has stages. At each stage, we will develop the micro-aesthetic to propel the business forward. How to create those breakthroughs? This 100x Business Workforce is the toolbox that provides step-by-step guidelines, resources, and tools for HR professionals to create breakthroughs.

​The meaning of Productivity

Author said: 

Productivity is when the workforce is actually doing the right thing at the right time, done by the right people in the company. ​
An entrepreneur or business owner doesn't just sell products or services; they sell the entire business. They oversee its operations, while others, like the CEO, leaders, and executives, play key roles within the business. Think of it like a hamburger: while meat, cheese, and bread are important ingredients, it's their combination that makes the burger. Similarly, in business, each role contributes to overall success. Let's explore those roles with our Pro Business Hamburger  framework
Picture
Here is a business setting when we compare that with a hamburger, which we call the Pro Hamburger framework. Here are the roles we have in this framework

The bacon slice: CEO, is the one who is working on business strategies for growing the business. 

The Beef: These are the muscles of the company who are the executives of the company, executing all the different functions and taking the business forward. 

The Cheese: This is the manager, who is gluing together all the executives (beef) and ensuring there are no gaps between them and execution is done seamlessly. 

Top Bun: This is the face of the company, which is typically called branding, but it actually represents the trust of the company. That’s why people want to buy the products and services of the company and want to join the company as employees. 

Bottom Bun: This is the connection between employees, products, brands, and customers. This one acts as the frame for the whole Hamburger. 

Tomatoes: These are the processes and rules in the company to keep it on the growth track. So these work as guidelines for how someone can work and take part of the company’s growth, success, operations, etc.  

The Game Manager: The HR department acts as the game manager, responsible for putting together the hamburger. This includes sourcing ingredients, ensuring they're added in the right order, sticking to the recipe, and packaging the hamburger correctly. That’s why, in this book, the author addressed the ‘HR department team members as ‘Game Managers’.

A game manager must master a few key factors to successfully deliver an outstanding game to the industry and shareholders. First and foremost, as game managers, we need to learn, understand, and support the CEO to garner their attention and endorsement. We must also focus on creating, onboarding, cultivating, and upskilling our leaders and effectively executing their strategies. As game managers, our mission is to develop trust, establish rules and processes, and foster connections among the CEO, leaders, executives, company products and services, and customers. The pressing question then arises: how can we accomplish this effectively and efficiently as game managers? This is precisely what we will explore throughout this book in the upcoming chapters, along with acquiring all necessary resources, tools, and support.

10x Workforce Equation

The author provided a valuable scorecard to identify and assess any company's or team’s productivity level. The scorecard is here 

The book demonstrates the equation an HR leader or professional needs to create in the business to facilitate growth. Because this is the equation that clearly defines the lever an HR department can create inside the business. 

The author described that we have ultimate leverages in this equation. By focusing on the talent, we can always onboard talents, encourage them, and build a bigger team as well. And there is no limit on this. 
Picture
On the other hand, we can always upskill, reskill, and add new skills to our workforce based on our direction and business strategy. And there is no limit on this as well. 
Picture
So when we do both in the right direction, we build a winning workforce that takes our business revenue to billions of USD.  So now the equation completes like this: 
Picture
To make the equation effective, the HR department needs to focus on the four factors: character traits, skills,  and business system.

The transformative cycle in the loop 

The whole idea behind the "HR Transformation Toolbox" book is that it's not a one-and-done deal. It's about this cycle of learning and doing. You read chapters 2 through 9, get those big ideas, and then use the tools and resources in the book to actually apply them in your company.

Think of it like a continuous loop. You improve a little, then learn some more, then improve again. With each cycle, your team gets better, you tackle bigger challenges, and the whole business moves forward.  We call those little improvements "micro-breakthroughs," and they add up over time. The "100x Business Workforce" book is your guide for this whole process. It's got everything you need to make those changes happen.

This way of thinking is inspired by experts like Peter Senge – they're all about businesses constantly learning and getting better.  That's how you create a company that can adapt and really thrive!

Win Award to Build Credibility

From the research, the author found that 70% of HR initiatives are lacking the right amount of support from the CEO. So the HR department needs to demonstrate the credibility of the CEO and other business leaders to win the right amount of support. So the 100x Business Workforce Book inspires and provides a step by step process to win an HR award. There are many HR awards, but the Pro Alpha Award is an award that directly recognizes the different transformative HR projects and honors HR leaders and professionals. The details of the award are here


What you can have from the book:

Since 2019, the author has dedicated approximately five years and 5000+ hours to writing this book, undergoing around ten editorial reviews before its first edition was published. He invested this considerable effort because the author aimed to create a comprehensive toolbox resource for HR professionals and leaders seeking to transform their company's workforce to unlock its 100x business growth potential.

The author personally doesn't enjoy reading a book that only gives me a lot of theories without clearly explaining the steps to execute them. So, he made sure to include lots of research insights, practical tips, tools, frameworks, and actionable steps, along with the big ideas in this book.

This book is not about just reading and understanding useful concepts. Because 
  • You will receive transformative ideas for workforce transformation
