Leveraging retired executives' time at scale - Coggle Diagram
Leveraging retired executives' time at scale
Identification challenges
Finding retired personnel in large numbers with detailed employment and skill records
Assessment of skills, tagging with proficiency levels (without going into scorecards/tests)
Employment challenges
Having pool of REs at different skill/proficiency levels ready for deployment
Best logistics model for deployment
Languages
Time slots (2 hours/day works best)
Mobility (very low/arranged)
IT skills (low/assisted)
Soft skills (verbose, requires guiderails)
Expectations (largely non-monetary, travel/rewards)
Intent-ability map*
is important. Intent-ability fit from start required
Operational challenges
Touchpoints with RE requires senior personnel with empathy and strong communication/people skills
Requires very regular (more than once a week) cadence of touchpoints (sensitive to commitments about reverts)
Oversight of work requires seniority built in (not everyone will be accepted as overseer/manager/judge of output)
Impact analysis (of work) requires to be handled through process (e.g. client feedback in report form) - outcome based engagements are difficult
Operational management through calls and documents (excel/word over email) - any other tool model will have issues
RE value system is different
Higher faith in government affiliated programs (involvement of MLA/IAS helps)
Strong belief in seniority based work, perks and appreciation
Health/family concerns take precedence over work (can lead to sudden drop in deliverables)
Projects in areas of sustainability, health, education and greenfield design finds more interest
Learnings
Leadership of team from within the group works best
For design/troubleshooting/training assignments, panel approach works better (with IT & documentation support)
State-wide and government affiliated programs work better (low travel, local language and office meetings help)
Content projects require significant specification and guiderail setup - but can work well
Regular physical meetup (award/discussion seminars) works well; once a month is good cadence
