Integrated Design for Resource Planning

Once the business context is suitably insulated and interfaced, the next stage ie resource planning and design stage sets in. Organisation Design sequence involves an alignment of the various organisational elements (processes, people, structure, culture, leadership) in relation to the path the organisation is going (direction setting) to deliver the required business results in the marketplace (context). Normally the focus of sequence is on the hr process elements though there is an emerging trend to recognise roles of Finance, Talent and Governance over resource planning and design. The recent trends to evolve more accurate budgeting and forecasting tools towards personnel cost planning has enhanced credibility and quality of HR projections. Also the need to attract, measure, preserve, develop talent and competence has given rise to new measurable scales to assess the efforts of Training and Development. To certain extant this has improved credibility and also opened scope for measuring transfer of learning.
