16 BMO Financial Group 193rd Annual Report 2010
Ideas are a new global currency. But it’s important to remind ourselves that those ideas
come from people. In the end, people, not companies, create world-changing breakthroughs.
And it’s human vision that gives ideas their power.
A company’s
is only as strong as its people.
vision
As this knowledge economy matures,
we’re less inclined to applaud innovation
for its own sake. Faced with consumer
trends that seem to change as often as the
weather, we’re becoming more thoughtful
about what really matters. Our focus is
shifting from having the latest to getting
the best – smart products and services
created by people who’ve paid attention
and anticipated our needs.
What differentiates today’s successful
companies is the ability to address our
expectations and aspirations by thinking
beyond the obvious. And what will
keep such businesses sustainable in an
increasingly competitive world is the
quality of their people.
Recruiting top talent has long been a
priority for the entrepreneurial businesses
that are catalysts of economic growth.
The ability to attract, develop and retain
the best people has become a strategic
imperative for companies worldwide.
Industry leaders engage skilled, imaginative
people in designing products that resonate,
in devising better models of service –
in focusing their collective energy on
creating more meaningful interactions
with customers.
And diversity is no longer just a noble
goal – it’s the key to success. Having the
best people means finding the sharpest
minds in a global talent pool. Successful
organizations become more relevant by
welcoming the varied perspectives and
cultural nuances of vibrant, emerging
markets across town and around the planet.
What drives the knowledge economy
is the same fuel that keeps today’s smart
companies alert, creative and connected:
vision. And that vision is conceived by
people. It’s about confidently embracing
a world that’s changed – and that will
change even more tomorrow.
