This survey should have removed Salary as an option b/c that is the most common answer. It would have been more insightful to ask the question "Beyond Salary, what is the most valuable component when looking for a new job?"

Indeed. I prefer to view salary as almost a negative motivator. No matter how much one is paid, you always want more.

Hmm Salary isn't leading as much as you may think it is.

Wonder why it’s scoring the lowest here! I definitely focus on this dimension that can make or break a team or company even.

I agree and also find it interesting that culture is scoring so low. Culture is the foundation for many of the other items on the list.

I really think that culture encompasses all the others. If an organization has an employee-centric culture, seeing employees as assets rather than resources, then compensation, work-life balance and flexibility become given.

I agree to a point, I do have experience though of an organization where the culture could be described as 'toxic', however, the C&B and work-life balance was fine. It was still a very difficult place to work.

#1 is the work. If the work isn't interesting and fun, I'm out. Fun for me thought is different from most people. I need to fix things, build things, grow things. Running operations, status quo, not for me no matter what else is offered.

I have just been asked by an exec from another function to audit a critical project in their portfolio which does not appear to be going well. I have some ideas based on my own PMO experience, but wanted to explore how peers might think about approaching such an exercise. Considerations: - outside my main role - risk of conflict with the leader providing project management services to this exec - sensitivity within the other function to potential criticism of their governance - readiness of the project team to provide relevant information

I recommend that you consider finding an outside third party to perform the audit. I have had to do something similar with an unprofitable division/product line that reports directly to our CEO. We outsourced with Alvarez ...read more

We are a large manufacturing company with over 17,000 associates, about half of whom have company-provided cell phones. We average two lost devices per week, which seems low, but executive management is concerned and wants to know if our numbers are typical compared to other companies. My questions are: 1. Do other companies also struggle with lost or stolen devices? 2. What is the average number of lost devices per week? 3. Are there repercussions for associates who lose devices due to carelessness or negligence?

I am trying to understand what are the key skills on the ground that would be pivotal for moving our company to a digital first organization? Have you trialed anything in your organization? What are the skills and trainings you recommend that would be beneficial for the CDIO function at a high level to at least be prepared for the digital disruption in the next two years?
