Management
Consulting Services
Total
Compensation and Rewards Management
Attracting,
retaining and motivating quality employees requires a total compensation
approach which encompasses base pay, incentive and performance management.
Each of these components have a specific purpose in the overall
strategy to deliver the right level of rewards to employees. The
CBFS approach to base pay utilizes a time-tested methodology that
integrates organizational values, internal job relationships and
the external market to establish equitable and competitive reward
levels.
Executive Compensation/Incentive Plans
Effective
retention and motivation of executive level managers may require
the use of incentives to ensure continued performance for the
organization. Customized packages are designed to include: non-cash
entitlements; perquisites, expanded health and welfare benefits;
and cash incentives. To maximize the retention potential of
these plans, payouts can be structured over several years and/or
tied to long term performance. We work with you to develop incentive
plans that not only motivate but deliver value to your organization.
Executive Management Coaching
Executive
Coaching allows you to optimize the management skill sets of
the key managers in your organization. CBFS consultants work
with candidates, peers and subordinates to identify key strengths
and critical competencies that can be honed for maximized performance.
Discover the keys to unlock the hidden potential that is untapped
in your executives.
Performance Development Systems
Organizations
with competency-based development programs appear to financially
outperform those without such programs. Competencies drive performance
and provide the foundation for employee success and continued career
development. CBFS consultants customize programs to reflect your
business strategy and drive attention to your performance requirements.
Performance
automation tools streamline the process and exponentially improve
supervisory productivity. The result is a transformation of employee
performance appraisals into a performance enhancing system.
Knowledgebase Competency Model (KCM)- a strategic approach to Succession
Management
Do
you look at you workforce and see a significant portion of your
staff retiring in the near future? Do you worry how you are
going to bridge the gap when all of that knowledge and expertise
starts focusing on the grandchildren rather than managing your
system? KCM is an exciting business-driven approach to succession
management. It prepares your organization for the future by
dovetailing process engineering with current and future talent
requirements and creating a competency ladder for success. The
KCM “toolbox” includes the following:
•
Leadership / Competency model
• Process Improvement
• Organizational Development Roadmap
• Identification of Developmental Resources
• Identification of Human Capital Critical Success Factors
• Review of Business Process Efficiency
• Establishing the foundation for Talent Development Initiatives
Strategic
Planning Facilitation
Your
organization runs well, but does the way you do business support
the challenges you will face in future?
To position your utility to meet the challenges of the future, ongoing
strategic planning at all levels is an essential management tool.
A formal strategic planning process focuses your organization on
long-term viability. Strategic planning is creating a vision of
the future and managing toward that outcome. It's operating under
a mission statement umbrella that focuses the organization's effort.
It's an effective process for aligning your short-term decisions
with your long-term goals.
Strategic
planning answers the three big questions:
•
Where are we today?
• Where do we want to be in the future?
• What should we be focused on today, in order to make it more
likely we will be where we want to be in the future?
Our
consultants work with you and your board to develop a comprehensive
strategic plan. Through facilitated sessions we help you develop
the strategies that will take your organization into the future
with solutions specifically tailored to your organization.
Organizational
Efficiency Assessment (OEA)
As
a manager you must keep your focus on the high level management
of the organization. You know some things can be improved, but you
just don't have the time to investigate them. An Organizational
Efficiency Assessment (OEA) serves as a strategic diagnostic tool
that provides an in-depth analysis of organizational structure,
staffing levels, business processes and resulting levels of efficiency
and service.
Our
OEA technique features a rapid-result, multi-disciplinary team to
examine your organizational processes, procedures, policies, and
resource deployment. The study reviews critical functional areas
of your utility such as engineering, line operations, member services,
finance, administration, customer service, information technology
and other mission critical functions.

practical solutions and recommendations that will increase efficiency,
reduce costs, and position you to better serve your customers.
