HCM in the Balanced Business Scorecard / Strategy Map

Strategic HCM

You can see the separation of the people and business management systems in most businesses' strategy maps. Most, in fact very, very nearly all, show linkages between objectives in the internal process, customer and financial perspectives.

It's because what we do in HR, and the deliverables of this activity, ie human capital, affects everything else we do in the business.

The Tyranny of Now

The Bamboo Project Blog

Lately, I've been ruled by "The Now"-- the insistent demands of the ringing phone, the urgent email, the client who needs me to do something IMMEDIATELY to solve her problem.

Develop A Training Plan Based On Skill Gaps

'Since training is an expensive proposition, it is critical that training dollars be spent wisely. We find that far too many companies allow their employees to select the training they will participate in or they put everyone through the same training.
