Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training that Works

“LSA Global was the first consulting firm (out of 6 who we tried previously) that was able to effectively help our HR Leadership Team to develop a clear strategy and plan that was tied to the business priorities while allowing us to quickly scale and use Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training to collaborate in our fast moving, complex and high demand environment.

More importantly they were able to help us to define the critical few processes and an engagement model that enabled us to stay aligned as an organization. LSA is at the top percentile of my list when it comes to helping leadership teams get aligned and execute.”

Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training
Most HR professionals find it difficult to effectively influence business unit executives.

Our research shows that nearly two-thirds of business unit leaders view HR functions and HR professionals as primarily transactional and administrative — lacking the strategic capability to help solve critical business challenges or advance key priorities. Strategic HR business partner skills training can change that perception.

That disconnect represents a significant missed opportunity. Today, more than 75% of the average company’s market value is tied to intangible assets such as leadership quality, innovation, culture, employee capability, customer relationships, and organizational agility. These are precisely the areas where effective HR business partners can create measurable business impact when equipped with the right strategic, consulting, and influencing skills.

McLean & Company found that when HR is a strategic partner with the business, organizations are:

1.5x more likely to be highly effective at change management.
1.3x more likely to be highly effective at generating and implementing new ideas.
1.3x more likely to be highly effective at diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Today’s businesses compete as much on the strength and agility of their human capital as on their financial capital. Proactive and strategic HR Functions should drive performance, accelerate business initiatives, and mitigate risk.

At the onset of our engagement with LSA, I was skeptical that an outside firm would be able to understand and dissect our organization’s highly complex and technical business challenges.

However, through the leadership team interview and strategy retreat processes that LSA utilized, they provided a fresh, innovative, and practical perspective that created tremendous strategic value and focus for our executive leadership team.

As a result, I would highly recommend LSA Global to any leader struggling with building the strategic alignment and high performance teams necessary to generate sales growth, in a way that fits their unique corporate culture.

Robert Laudati
Managing Director

I continue to be impressed by the level of leadership development training and management expertise and quality of advice and facilitation that LSA has to offer.

What a smart and client-centric group of great people who really know how to help assess and develop high performing leaders.

Tracy Esposito
Director

We reviewed the top Leadership Development offerings and selected LSA’s 12-month Leadership Program based upon the value and systemic approach.

The feedback on the program, approach, and results was phenomenal. While other programs may be better known, the other options were more theoretical and did not compare in terms of LSA’s practicality, quality, and results.

We could not be happier.

Stacey Porter
Senior Manager Learning and Development

LSA has a tremendous ability to distil complex, multilayered challenges into meaningful, impactful, and clear strategies and action plans.

The time we invested as a leadership team to get aligned was well spent in gaining laser focus and identifying ways to prioritize what was meaningful individually and as a team. The facilitation and leadership style was direct, firm, and compassionate.

LSA provided the high level thinking and support for our team to co-create in a rapidly scaling business.
