What differentiates top companies? Going from good to great

Compiled by KAREN NEOH

A recent study by Aon Hewitt – Top Companies for Leaders, found that what characterised these top companies in the past, including competencies, organisational values, accelerated learning programmes, engagement dashboards, diversity scorecards, are no longer distinguishing factors.

Leading companies that went beyond the obvious took six differentiating key strides (please see the diagram).

Leaders do more than the obvious
