Peter Cappelli, professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and director of its Center for Human Resources, says managers at companies large and small are doing hiring all wrong. A confluence of changes, from the onslaught of online tools to a rise in recruitment outsourcing, have promised more efficiency but actually made us less effective at finding the best candidates. Cappelli says there are better, simpler ways to measure whether someone will be a good employee and advises companies to focus more on internal talent. He's the author of the HBR article "Your Approach to Hiring is All Wrong."

Episode Summary If you feel like you are spending the “right amount of money” in your retirement plan but not getting the results you expect in either recruiting, retention or employee retirement outcomes, spending more money to get better results doesn’t have to be the answer.  According to my guest, Marc Howell without increasing costs, you could improve all three of those metrics by breaking away from a traditional retirement plan design and moving towards plan design customization. Marc is a Vice President and head of Custom Retirement Solutions with Prudential Financial.  In our conversation he tackles preconceived notions about 401(k) plan design, how employers can deliver retirement benefits with surgical precision to either incentivize or reward employee behavior and how some popular employer contribution strategies are actually setting your employees up for failure in preparing for retirement.  If you have not already subscribed to the podcast, go to iTunes or GooglePlay and search 401(k) Fridays and click subscribe.  And now, enjoy conversation!

(Bloomberg) -- Every year, millions of people make New Year's resolutions. Every year, millions fail, often wasting money and working against their best interest in the process. That doesn't sound very rational. Katy Milkman, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, joins Aki and Tori to walk through seven proven strategies to stay on target by harnessing economics research aimed at saving us from ourselves.

It was a matter of when, not if. Global forces were pushing Mark Redlus' company ImageTree towards a huge opportunity.  ImageTree's technology would be the gold standard for validating forest assets being used for carbon emissions off sets.  Mark and his venture capital backers had already pivoted once.  Listen in and find out what prevented them from pivoting a second time to save their company. My Guest Coming out of the Univ. of Pennsylvania's Wharton School with a BS in Management, Mark jumped right into the entrepreneurial side of the technology industry.  He launched Red Sector A which was acquired by CoreTech.  At CoreTech he rose to become the CEO.  From there he moved on to ImageTree as employee number one.  After almost five years at ImageTree, Mark moved Yallingup BioEnergy where he worked on a variety of clean tech investment projects.  Shifting out of clean tech, Mark moved to MemVu to become their CEO. Most recently, Mark has joined Polaris Health Directions.  Polaris Health Directions develops and markets behavioral health outcomes assessment and management systems to help deliver better health outcomes at a reduced cost. Polaris systems are designed for use by health care providers, managed care organizations, government agencies and pharmaceutical companies, and focus on addressing the impact mental health conditions have on physical health and an individual’s welfare. Mark is an avid outdoors man and spends as much time as possible snowboarding, whitewater kayaking and surf kayaking. Highlights & Take Home Lessons Mark's company, ImageTree, was built to pursue two markets that failed to mature. First was the forestry management application. Potential customers faced a serious economic penalty if ImageTree's product showed that their prior data was significantly wrong. Better, faster and cheaper doesn't sell well if it exposes potential users' prior failings. The second target market, carbon cap and trade monitoring, assumed that long-term change mandated and enforced by government policy was certain. Mark highlights that lots of smart people believed cap and trade was a certain future. It wasn't. Entrepreneurs must understand what's often referred to as "stroke of the pen" risk. Policy makers can eliminate a markets as rapidly as they create them. Entrepreneurs must be sensitive to the pace at which their markets are ascending. If your market isn't ascending, you need the cash to be flexible and pivot. Mark emphasized that awareness of market development must inform capital raising. ImageTree took on debt prior to having a firm footing. This along with venture capital fund dynamics greatly limited ImageTree's options. On the operational front, Mark explained how he and his team underestimated the complexity of operating internationally as a small company. Finding local partners makes or breaks entrepreneurs. As an entrepreneur, Mark leans on a group of three advisors that can objectively filter his ideas and assumptions. He believes the natural tendency is for entrepreneurs to fall in love with their ideas and businesses. Success requires objective, blunt assessment of ideas and options. With that feedback, entrepreneurs need the courage to pivot their business or abandon Resources & Links Mark Redus on LinkedIn Email is M.Redlus [at] PolarisHealth [dot] com PolarisHealth.com Subscribe With Your Favorite App Share With Colleagues & Entrepreneurial Friends Connect With Me & Other Listners The post Waiting For Uncle Sam: Mark Redlus on Gov’t Created Markets & Capital to Pivot appeared first on Venture Capital Coroner's Report.
