planning process

Key Learnings
Human Capital is much more deeply integrated into business
planning than initially thought; it must be a part of business
planning and not an outgrowth.
Thinking is the core to Human Capital Planning not the tools
Human Capital Planning is not Manpower Planning. It is
understanding the relationship between people, process and
technology to build critical capabilities required to drive the
business plans
There must be a general framework with alignment principles for
consistency where necessary, but the tools for HCP can be
flexible and vary among the different divisions

Opportunities for the HR Professional
Human Resources has an opportunity to play a critical role in the
business planning process
We have a chance to think and act differently about how we
approach our work; be more of a business consultant (evoke
thought) and less of a tool facilitator
It is critical to build our own capabilities around HCP then transfer
them to line management
Know your business environment so that the Questions you ask
are intelligent and informed.
