Why or why not?
Accenture’s human capital framework provided a systematic approach to gathering information on human capital needs.
Talked about a different methods – surveys, interviews
Not enough detail, product is presumably proprietary
I don’t know if it provided a system, but it answered a question that one is needed
Data collection instruction and analysis was informative
Good info/thorough for time allotted
6. The meeting provided me with information concerning why an agency might slow down in order to go faster.
Why or why not?
My agency rushed through the development of its human capital plane in order to get to “green.” Now we are re-doing parts of
the plan
Doing a lot of the things up front pay off at the end as John mentioned a number of times
But I’m not sure I can apply this to my own agency yet
Because management and employees need to understand
Assessment of strengths and weaknesses; identify areas with high impact/low effort, etc
Analysis takes time
7. The meeting provided me with a new approach for implementing changes in my agency.
Why or why not?
Prior to today’s meeting, I was not familiar with Accenture’s human capital framework.
Provided blueprint for changes – communication, surveys, employee engagement, etc
Extended some ideas I’ve seen previously on HR audits at “strategic” level
Concept of internal communication brought to light
But more importantly, help us to see how we can encourage such change in other agencies as well
Clarified some concepts – short term and long range
8. .My expectations were met.

9. I liked most:
Having handouts was most helpful in following the presentation.
Easy to understand slides, concepts, what drivers are important, what capabilities
Overall, systematic approach to HC issues
The description in detail of how PSC has gone through, and is still going through many changes
Being able to see such a practical, concrete example/application of the theory
Thoroughness of presentation
Part IV – Action Plan
The change model
Presentation describing successful application of HCDF approach
10. I liked least:
Conclusions seemed unexciting – if the other methods considered (consultant interviews, management groups) had been used, would we have ended up the same, maybe faster?
Part II
11. Suggestions for future meetings:
Just keep having them!
How is pay for performance at DoD and HAS going?
More of same substance
