Reviews
"The perceived wisdom is that HR Strategic impact is a function of how an organization finds, attracts, retains and develops talent. The how is further improved by efficient back-office systems and processes. The real money is not in the how you attract and keep talent, its in identification of what the right talent is, at the right time in your business cycle, at the right price. And that's a function of strategic business planning. And for HR that means a new job - strategic consultant to the business. What the author presents is a simple toolkit that enables HR leadership to do just that. And guess what? You save on all those consultant pounds too! An outstanding piece of strategic thinking that works. It should be de rigueur for every MBA program." Mark Keane, HR Director, Microsoft, Ireland
