Study of 650 Organizations Reveals Success Factors During Change
LOVELAND, CO /PRNewswire/ ~ Business leaders from 62 countries report the most effective tactics for leading change. Unlike many studies, which report a high failure rate for change programs, Prosci’s research over a 14-year period shows that change projects are six times more likely to meet business objectives when organizations effectively manage the people side of change.
“Surprising to some business leaders, success during change is not only possible, it is repeatable with the effective application of change management,” explains Jeff Hiatt, Prosci CEO and founder. “The problem is that three quarters of organizations are change saturated and are failing to build change management competency within the organization.”
The new 2012 edition of Best Practices in Change Management is the largest and most comprehensive body of knowledge on the market today. Prosci’s 2012 report compiles findings from the new 650-participant study with six previous change management studies. In total, the report reveals best practices and lessons learned from 2,600 project leaders and change professionals, uncovering why some changes succeed and others fail.
“Successes and failures of practitioners who are actively managing the people side of change on their own projects provide an invaluable perspective to the unique challenges that we encounter in applying change management in our own organizations,” states Allison Seabeck, Prosci Vice President.
Participants in Prosci’s research studies share insights on methodology, communications, senior leadership, and resistance management techniques. The newest data covers topics including advice for new practitioners, change management training, tactics for creating effective leadership and use of social media. One in five organizations is using Web 2.0 or social networking tools as part of change management communications.
The report analyzes enterprise-wide change management deployment efforts. “Nearly half of study participants are actively working to deploy change management throughout their organizations,” explains Tim Creasey, Prosci Chief Development Officer. “Discussion is growing around how to drive change management wider across the organization. We now have the research-based, holistic and easy-to-use tools to support organizations in their journey towards institutionalizing change management.”
About Prosci
Formed in 1994, Prosci is the leading provider of research and tools that enable organizations to manage the people side of change. As a research company, Prosci has conducted seven studies since 1998 to create the most complete body of knowledge available in the change management field. Research participants include more than 2,600 organizations from 65 countries, including many of the largest companies and government organizations worldwide.

CCP Announces New $5,000,000 Security Plan for Key Employees of Investment Banks and Hedge Funds
DANBURY, CT /PRNewswire/ ~~ Corporate Compensation Plans (CCP) announced today a new $5,000,000 financial security Plan for key employees and partners of investment banks and hedge funds. The purpose of this unique disability insurance plan is to indemnify the employees against the catastrophic losses caused by career-ending injuries or illnesses.
“When highly paid individuals suffer career-ending injuries or illnesses,” said Philip Davis, President of CCP, “their salaries, bonuses, and payments to their retirement plans stop. In addition, their stock options and other stock-related plans terminate. As a result, they and their families can lose millions of dollars.”
For example, the proxy statement of a large investment bank shows that their 50-year-old CFO is earning $4,100,000 in salary and bonus ($2,600,000 after tax) and was awarded another $11,000,000 in stock. Assuming the same annual compensation for the next 10 years – and disregarding any stock awards – here is what can happen if he or she has a career-ending disability:
~~ After-tax cash income ($2,600,000 X 10) – $26,000,000
~~ Less disability insurance @ $500,000 a year – $5,000,000
~~ Loss of cash income – ($21,000,000)
Almost all highly paid individuals will face losses of this magnitude if they become totally disabled. To help solve this problem, CCP – in conjunction with one of the world’s largest insurance companies – has designed a financial security plan for key personnel of investment banks and hedge funds with these features and benefits:
~~ They can be paid up to $5,000,000 in a lump-sum, tax-free cash benefit if an injury or illness prevents them from working in their own professions for more than 12 months.
~~ They can acquire their benefits on a guaranteed issue basis without medical examinations or the need to answer medical questions.
~~ They may be able to acquire an additional $5,000,000 of cash benefits with evidence of insurability – for a total tax-free benefit of $10,000,000.
~~ One of the largest insurance carriers in the world – and one that has exceptionally high financial ratings – is underwriting their protection.
“Our Plan,” said Tasha Mayberry, CCP’s Vice President of Marketing & Development, “will help Investment Banks and Hedge Funds attract and retain the top talent they need to compete in today’s global economy. For example, if the company pays for the benefit it can restrict portability. In addition, the Plan can be a very attractive component of a ‘sign-on’ bonus.”
The incomes of the highly paid have far outstripped their firms’ traditional long-term disability insurance plans – which typically are capped at relatively low income amounts and do not cover stock awards and retirement plan contributions. The result is a huge gap between an individual’s after-tax income before a disability and the amount of insurance benefits available after a disability occurs.
“CCP has built the systems necessary to administer and communicate the Plan,” said John Nelson, CCP’s Vice President of Technology. He added, “The purpose of these systems – which include our proprietary e-signature enrollment platform – is to make certain that human resources will not have to invest much of their time in the implementation of the Plan.”

For nearly 40 years Corporate Compensation Plans has been providing tax-advantaged benefit programs to many of the largest companies and law firms in the country. CCP specializes in unique disability insurance plans that enhance the financial security of employees and help companies attract and retain the top talent needed to compete in today’s global economy.

Your Resume ~ No One Really Reads Them So Why Are Resumes So Important?!
by Bill Golden CEO, USAJobZoo.com, IntelligenceCareers.com and USADefenseIndustryJobs.com
Resumes & Jobs / The Rare Find: Reinventing Recruiting – Businessweek http://ow.ly/70OF1 … BusinessWeek writes:
“A new era of talent hunting has begun. It’s happening not only at high-tech companies such as Facebook, but also at Army bases, ad agencies, investment banks, Hollywood studies, corporate boardrooms, college admissions offices, and even at nanny agencies. In all these fields, experts don’t just sort résumés. They pick people and build teams in a profoundly different way. Traditional measures of past achievement, such as test scores and academic degrees, are losing power, and companies are getting better at looking for those future superstars who deliver many times the value of someone who is merely good.”
BusinessWeek’s article is a good read … yet while it sounds all good and futuristic the methods discussed really apply to probably less than 1% of the 1% of people that find jobs.
For really, really unique jobs this has been true for awhile ~~ testing of individuals and creative interviews with current staff. (I once worked in a technology company where every potential hire was voted upon by current employees before they were hired, circa 1998). However, the 99.99% of the rest of the workforce world needs to stay focused on getting found ~~ and that still requires a resume.
Getting found requires a good resume and an understanding of how those resumes get found.
Best approach on the planet: network. Meet people or let folks know that you are searching for a new career challenge. Make your resume for them to pass along. This method probably accounts for 50-60% of all hires in the technical and professional world. Many companies even pay their employees bonuses for recommeding someone that eventually gets hired ~~ but a resume is still very much required as the person recommending you must submit a resume to the HR department to get the process started.
Second best approach (works for the few): be good at what you do. Employers often do the reverse of the above ~~ they ask others ‘who do you know that does …?’ Once you get approached, you may be asked to meet but your resume will need to accompany you.
Next second best approach (works for the many): don’t send out resumes willy-nilly. It just costs postage and they rarely get read. If you are lucky you will get a note in email that says please visit our website and add your resume. You need to get your resume in a resume database appropriate to your skillset and interests. There are many niche and specialized resume databases on jobboards, plus you need to add your resume to the corporate websites resume databases.
Your resume being in a database is very important. The overwhelming majority of recruiters do not read resumes. They use search statistics to identify candidates.
How a resume database gets used: a set of job criteria entered into a resume search system returns a statistical value as to the probability that you are a person that should be considered as matching their needs (kinda like dating services). If there is a high degree of match then only then does your resume ever get read ~~ assuming that you were probably a 90-95% or higher match.
Your resume and having a resume is very important, and will be for a long time to come. So you may find yourself in some interesting interview situations but it will all begin with a resume for a very long time to come.
