The Strategy2Implementation department was recently established to help us respond better to market developments. To do so, the department coordinates and oversees all cross-border and cross-departmental initiatives with regard to innovation, strategy and business development up to the implementation.
The Strategy2Implementation department responds to rapidly changing market conditions. The flexible employment sector is facing interesting challenges. New internet solutions and social media have a large impact on traditional business models and existing distribution channels. And generations are entering the job market which view employment in a different way. People no longer choose jobs for life but to fit a certain stage in their lives. Instead of actively looking for a suitable job, many people count on jobs finding them. Furthermore various demographic developments are posing challenges to the sector, including population ageing, dejuvenation, and the impact of multicultural society on the job market. These developments have a large impact on the way jobs are offered.
USG People set up the Strategy2Implementation department to manage the way the company deals with these changing circumstances. The department works for all our operating companies in all countries in which we are active. Using our multibrand strategy we stimulate entrepreneurship within the operating companies. To prevent a situation where different operating companies are undertaking similar projects on their own, Strategy2Implementation channels cross-border projects with respect to innovation, strategy and business development. This not only prevents doubling up, but speeds up and strengthens the exchange of ideas, initiatives and best practices. Importantly, this reduces the time needed to get innovations ready for market and creating value. This, in turn, helps translate USG People’s entrepreneurial culture quicker into commercial strength.
Strategy2Implementation consists of four different clusters which together stand up to the challenges posed by the job placement market. The clusters are made up of employees with a wealth of experience in the areas they are responsibility for, both within and outside USG People. The first cluster deals with subjects including the internet, social media, e-commerce, revenue management and dynamic pricing. The second cluster is responsible for the delivery models, service models and distribution channels used to provide services to clients. This involves in-house branches, outsourcing services and online services. Strategy2Implementation also has a cluster that deals with strategy development and analysis. This includes drafting and assessing the strategies of our operating companies. The final cluster is focused on integration management, temporary and turnaround management and subjects that require additional management attention.
