Success Runs In Groups, Peer Groups, That Is
10/10/2014
Over the past several months I’ve been blessed to be able to speak at several vendor events about peer groups and HTG in particular. The amount of time has varied from an hour to three hours, and the format has often included some tabletop time as well to interact with attendees. At each of the events and sessions, as is almost always the case, there is a lot of excitement and energy around peer groups after I finish speaking. I am very blessed to be able to introduce people to the HTG Way of doing peer groups because it’s something I am passionate about. I enjoy sharing about my leadership journey and what my experience with HTG Peer Groups has taught me about the power of peers.

Functional growth, however, takes more than just executing tasks. It takes leadership beyond just you.

But what about your HR processes? Can you honestly say you’ve got this? I’m betting you can’t.

The Quest For The Holy Grail: The 5 Best Metrics For Your Team (Part 2)
10/3/2014
I was asked this month to provide you with the 5 Best Metrics for Service Delivery Management. In my last post I wrote about the fact that my own search for the holy grail of metrics has served fruitless. I proposed that many of you, like me, have at times suffered from “Metric Envy” (measuring the same metrics as someone you deem successful) or “Metric Overload” (measuring too many things and managing none).
