You are flooded with possibilities. How do you decide where to put time and resources to drive the greatest impact on 5 business outcomes: Employee, Strategy, Customer, Financial, Social Responsibility.
OGS Shows the Investments You Should Make to Achieve the Highest Returns
Green Means Go, Red Means No: Based on analysis of your current business performance, OGS uses proprietary algorithms to identify the initiatives that will have the biggest impact on your business outcomes - the initiatives represented by large green slices on the pie chart. Smaller slices show initiatives that you must continue but additional investment will have little or no impact on business outcomes.

OGS Step-by-Step
You use OGS by completing 1, 2, 3 or all 4 assessments (Leadership Brand, Talent, Organization Capability and HR Effectiveness), and inviting other business, functional and HR leaders to also rate. (It’s a bit like 360-degree evaluation of your human capital practices.)
Once assessments are completed, OGS generates custom recommendations to show the initiatives in which you should invest to have the greatest impact on your business. You then define your initiatives and how you will measure success. And all of that is FREE.
Recruit 20 or more HR, business and functional leaders to complete 1 to 4 pathway assessments
OGS proprietary algorithm generates report for your company displaying "custom" guidance to show where you should invest to impact business outcomes
Your team begins to identify initiatives to drive improvements based on OGS recommendations and metrics (KPIs) that will track impact of your initiatives over time
RBL.ai team generates a strategy map to show casual relationships between leading and lagging indicators. Initiatives are loaded into the Initiative Tracker and measures populate the Metrics Dashboard
Your team launches and manages its improvement initiatives. OGS sends requests to those responsible for your initiative and metrics to capture periodic updates - or collects business outcome data using APIs. OGS subscribers who need help designing initiatives use impact accelerators and RBL research.
Subscribers meet to discuss initiatives and OGS analysis continues to hone predictions to show which initiatives have the greatest impact on business outcomes.
