CNY BEST Talent Development Not for Profit Organization Award
Syracuse University Martin J. Whitman School of Management was honored with the CNY BEST Talent Development Not for Profit Organization Award for linking talent development to the organization’s strategic growth or success with its WSM Help Case Management Training.The purpose of developing the WSM Help Case Management Training came from the need to establish a consistent onboarding and training process for the student workers. As a part of the Onboarding Training, student workers will be able to view, read and understand help desk tickets In Salesforce. The students will be able to identify the problem and be able to either close the case (ticket) or be able to transfer the help ticket to the appropriate ITS Consultant who can resolve and close the case (ticket). The student will complete this unit as part of their larger onboarding and training sessions. Up until this point, there was no formal training established, which had led to inconsistencies in knowledge at best, and at worst the student worker had no knowledge, and therefore not working effectively in the department.
CNY BEST Talent Development Consultant Award
TDO – Train, Develop, Optimize was presented with CNY BEST Talent Development Consultant Award for linking talent development to a client’s or clients’ strategic growth or success with its Toyota Kata Program. Toyota Kata gives a powerful way to push back against the backslide. Toyota Kata is becoming TDO's dominant framework for client engagements. It allows us a method to engage that greatly aids in the sustainment of change by educating and empowering our clients to bring forth the change they need in their organization in a systemic and thoughtful way without requiring TDO's ongoing assistance. Further, the nature of the coaching process and the type of relationship it tends to form, has been reliably getting us closer to the coveted Trusted Advisor status. The goal of committing to Toyota Kata as a framework for client engagements was to implement a generalizable methodology that would help to consistently drive our values. Specifically, we wanted to ensure that: 1. The changes we would help drive inside organizations would be sustainable, 2. Our engagements helped to drive an ongoing client relationship as their Trusted Advisor.
