PLAYBOY ENTERPRISES INC, a case study
Aligning Your Customers & Workforce to Rapidly Evolving Brands and Markets - the PLAYBOY Story
Example of maintaining connection and relevance to a new generation of employees and dynamic markets. The global economy and marketplace are moving at warp-speed and new generations of customers and employees require a forward-thinking and a fresh approach to conducting business, especially for “well established brands”.
In this timely and collaborative presentation, Kendice Briggs, SVP HR, Playboy, and Scott Hamilton, CEO of the Executive Next Practices Institute, will share how an iconic brand is transforming itself from the traditional publishing world to a new interactive media environment. Along the way, difficult workforce and legacy policy decisions are being made... all while maintaining a high quality market presence and the retention of key players.
Several key topics, relevant to any global or domestic business leader, will be examined in this unique collaboration of top global executives and advisors:
How to create and maintain organization energy and passion during times of transformation.
Key elements of an enhanced work experience that appeal to a multi-generational workforce.
Matching the employer brand to an evolving market brand- maintaining relevance and attraction.
Where to from here? The NextWorks™ model to moving beyond legacy policies, behaviors and thinking to create incremental to breakthrough performance- at all levels of the organization.

Global Economic Evolution:
The Impact on Your Workforce in 2013 and Beyond
Thought-Leader
Jim McComb is SVP and Practice Leader of the ENP Institute. With 30 years of experience in business management, he is an authority on strategy and forecasting, corporate positioning, value creation, zero based budgeting, the customer experience, competitive advantage, cultural change and employee engagement
The European Union teeters on the brink of breakup as economic turmoil grips Greece, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and others, threatening the future of the euro.
Brazil joins China and India as a seat of growing economic power, while Syria simmers and drives a wedge between America and Russia.
Regime changes in Egypt and Libya signal an intensified push in the Arab world for religious extremism to replace secular governments, and America prepares for a possible regime change as well, as the parties square off with dueling economic plans and diametrically different approaches for putting America back to work.
As corporate profits hover near record levels, investment in the capital equipment and hiring initiatives needed to bring the unemployment rate down has stalled.
Meanwhile, human resources executives across the country continue to struggle with the talent management challenges that accompany a world in economic and political turmoil.
This 60-minute workshop is designed to help you win that struggle. Highly interactive and collaborative, this session leads you to the solutions you’ll need in order to address some of today’s most challenging talent management issues.
For example, you’ll learn:
• What leading and coincident global economic indicators say about the future of the American economy
• What must happen in America to jumpstart hiring and bring the unemployment rate down
• How to effectively manage talent to achieve optimum efficiency and productivity in the event that the workforce continues to shrink
You’ll receive a mini workbook, and leave the room with a game plan for the future . . . tailored to the specific human capital and talent management challenges that are particular to your organization.
Jim McComb recently retired as Senior Vice President of Finance in the group that supports consumer direct mortgage lending at Bank of America, a role he assumed three years ago upon the Bank’s acquisition of his previous employer, Countrywide Home Loans. For the previous five years, Jim was Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning at Countrywide, then America’s largest mortgage lender and servicer. His recent responsibilities included strategic planning, associate engagement, project management, internal communication, training and professional development, performance management, client relationship management, and administrative support for the Centralized Sales Finance Group.
Prior to Countrywide, Jim was Vice President of Marketing & Strategic Planning for WesCorp, the nation’s largest corporate credit union. Earlier, he served as the managing director of an Oregon advertising agency, as a senior level marketing management executive in commercial banking, and as a partner in the Centre for Strategic Management, a global management consulting firm headquartered in San Diego. Jim was also a member of the senior management team of Community First Bankshares, America’s largest community bank holding company, in the early 1990’s. While with the Centre, Jim worked as a marketing and strategy consultant (the $60 billion Farm Credit System was his largest personal client) and as an executive coach, working with CEOs and business owners to help them turn failing businesses around, and to help them take successful businesses to the next level.
The author of numerous journal articles and three books, including Undiscovered Horizons: Finding & Fulfilling Your Own Unique Personal Destiny, Jim sometimes spends his weekends traveling the nation as a motivational speaker and personal coach, working with Americans in all walks of life to help them successfully pursue their personal destinies.
A frequent keynote speaker at conventions and conferences, Jim was a segment host on the American Financial Skylink television network, was elected to two terms in the Oregon Legislature, and chaired the school board in that state’s second largest district.
In 1991, he was honored by President George H. W. Bush for creating the “Dream House CD,” which made home ownership possible for thousands of first-time homebuyers across America.
Jim is a past national president of the Association for Strategic Planning, and is on the Board of the Executive Next Practices Forum in Los Angeles. Jim developed the strategic planning process at one of the largest churches in Southern California, and volunteers time to facilitate board planning sessions for Inland Empire non-profits including Camp Fire, the Salvation Army and the Red Cross.
