“I worked closely with Colin Beames when he was recently engaged by Celcom in Kuala Lumpur to advise the organisation on issues of Strategic Workforce Planning, workforce segmentation and reconfiguration. Colin interviewed all of the senior executives and ran workshops for both the Managers and HR professionals as part of an education and training program for those groups.
After having searched the market to determine what other consultants offer, I found Advanced Workforce Strategies’ models and thought leadership to be truly “cutting edge”. Using the AWS Skills-Based Workforce Segmentation Model, we were able to gain some very valuable workforce insights including developing strategies and interventions towards addressing some labour management issues. This resulted in some significant labour cost savings for the organisation, as well as paving the way for out-of-the-box workforce solutions.”

“In our company undergoing digital workforce transformation, we spoke to many consultants concerning their service offering in Strategic Workforce Planning. There was one company that was a stand out – Advanced Workforce Strategies (AWS). In particular their AWS Skills-Based Workforce Segmentation Model and Skills Segmentation Questionnaire (SSQ) has allowed us to analyse and view roles from a new perspective, and better understand our legacy workforce.”

“As one of the fastest growing shires in Australia, we recognised that we had to adopt a different approach to managing our workforce in the future, including workforce planning. The concepts, models and tools that form part of Advanced Workforce Strategies’ Develop a Workforce Strategic Plan Pack have proved to be an invaluable resource, together with the valuable consultancy input and assistance from Colin Beames. The Workforce Strategic Plan that we have developed for Cardinia Shire Council has had “buy-in” from executives and provided us with new and deeper workforce insights. It has enabled us to identify key risks and develop targeted action plans to address those risks. This Workforce Strategic Plan now underpins all of our people management decisions going forward.”
