You have just listened to an overview of Xerox Competency Framework (or Taxonomy). You have discovered how aligning competencies with strategic goals fosters collaboration and drives measurable performance at Xerox to help deliver Reinvention.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Alright, so let's break it down. We’ve talked about why this structured competency framework is, well, kind of the backbone of driving performance at Xerox. It's about equipping our workforce with the knowledge they need to meet those big, strategic goals. You know, the stuff that really moves the needle.
Eric Marquette
Exactly. By defining these competencies, we're essentially giving leaders and teams a toolkit. It’s a way to navigate organizational challenges, deliver KPI improvements, and—and really foster a stronger alignment with what the company is aiming to achieve.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Right! And it's not just about the "what," but the "how," you know? By aligning everyone on this common framework, we’re removing interference and kind of clearing the runway so our leaders can accelerate performance. It’s like... a pit crew. Everyone knows their role, and they execute efficiently.
Eric Marquette
I like that analogy. And it emphasizes that this isn’t just a top-down initiative. It’s collaborative. That’s why the upcoming SLT workshop is so important. It’s a platform for leaders to not only understand the framework but to actually contribute to it with their perspectives—
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Exactly! Their insights are crucial.
Eric Marquette
—and their experience. The aim is to ensure that this competency framework works on the ground, in reality, not just as a theoretical concept.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Right, because at the end of the day, it’s about execution. And with your feedback during the workshop, we can fine-tune the framework to actually support those measurable improvements we’re all aiming for.
Eric Marquette
And let’s not forget, this is also about shared clarity. By engaging in this process, leaders are ensuring that everyone—from the SLT down to individual team members—is on the same page.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
And that buy-in is everything, right? Without it, we’re just spinning wheels.
Eric Marquette
Absolutely.
Eric Marquette
Absolutely, and that’s why the SLT Workshop is so critical. It’s the platform where we take the shared clarity and buy-in we’ve been talking about and put it into action. It’s not just presenting the framework—it’s about really collaborating to make it work.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Yeah, absolutely. And what's really exciting is that this isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of meeting. Each group will get a specific competency to unpack. But here's the thing—you're not just analyzing the framework. You’re evaluating what works, what doesn’t, and, honestly, what we might’ve missed.
Eric Marquette
Right. And it’s a chance for leaders to share their own experiences and business intelligence. I mean, these are the perspectives we need to make sure the framework is not only relevant but also actionable. This feedback isn't just going into some vacuum—it’s going to impact how we move forward as an organization.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Exactly. And it all ties back to driving performance, removing interference, and really creating clarity. One cool aspect? Everyone’s going to work with the Change Management competency. That’s being introduced across all the groups. Because let’s face it, change is like the one constant we all have to deal with right now.
Eric Marquette
And what makes it even more interesting is the use of the Co-Pilot Enterprise platform during the workshop sessions. It’s not just about filling in worksheets—it’s about leveraging tools to prompt discussions that go deeper. You can expect some thoughtful questions to help guide those conversations.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Oh, and if you’re wondering about support, you’ll have some of the tec at Xerox team there to field any questions. So, there’s no need to go it alone. It’s all about teamwork and, let’s not forget, efficiency.
Eric Marquette
Absolutely. And the goal here is to take all this rich leadership feedback and integrate it into the Skills Taxonomy. By doing that, we’re not only elevating the design of the framework but also ensuring it’s something leaders and teams can trust, adopt, and use effectively.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Because without trust, it just doesn’t stick, right?
Eric Marquette
Exactly. And, ultimately, this workshop isn’t just an exercise—it’s a step toward aligning everyone, from the leadership team to the broader workforce, around a shared vision for success.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
Yeah, and that vision is what gives Xerox the edge. So, whether it’s refining the framework or driving transformation, your input matters. It really does.
Eric Marquette
And on that note, that's all for now. Thanks for tuning in. We can’t wait to hear your perspectives at the workshop.
Sarah AI Sales Professional
It’s gonna be great. See you all there!
