Locking in on High Performance

Workforce performance and the management of talent have become ever more important market differentiators for organizations in every industry. Executives are seeking better ways to ensure that their people are working in alignment with business strategy, and to keep their workforce investments effectively targeted at their company’s most important business needs to help create business value.

Based on experience implementing a wide range of corporate learning programs for clients around the world—especially as part of a long-term learning outsourcing relationship—Accenture has refined a process called “Business Interlock” to improve the business value generated from enterprise learning and other workforce-related programs. Business Interlock is a proprietary process with services, metrics and reporting capabilities that help companies and government agencies achieve high performance by optimizing learning operations and by improving the strategic value of enterprise learning.

This paper explains the principles of Business Interlock, how it is implemented and maintained, and how it is helping to deliver high performance for leading organizations today. Business Interlock helps focus investments on the right workforce enablement programs, measures their impact and keeps them aligned with current business strategy. Business Interlock can also generate innovations in learning development and operations, and in transforming workforce talent into a strategic enabler to drive high performance.
