About the Presentation:
Each year organizations set strategic priorities, goals for the company, and targets to hit. After the numbers are crunched and the strategic plans communicated, only then do many leaders figure out how they are going to meet these goals. For most organizations, this is backward.
In Jim Collins' classic, Good to Great, one of five points he emphasized is simply: First Who...Then What. Today's business climate means doing more with less, streamlining operations, and gaining a greater competitive advantage over the guy down the street. HR leaders must only support these organizational efforts and goals, the "What," but also lead the discussion when it comes to how to get it done, the "Who."
By playing an active role in the strategic planning process, HR leaders can tie the human capital needs and goals directly to the strategic plans of the organization. To do this, we need to not only comprehend the business needs, but be able to translate that information into priorities for the HR function.
Learning Objectives:
Specific objectives accomplished in this session will include understanding how to partner with business leaders in the strategic planning process as well as how to interpret and analyze business information and goals to be able to translate that information into human capital needs.
In addition, participants will understand how to convert metrics developed and used in HR so they are understood and utilized by the business leaders. In the end, HR's strategic plans will have a direct connection to the strategic priorities of the organization
