Download or read book Resource Planning in Organisational Development Projects written by Jannis Finn Grüneboom and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate decisions have consequences, especially if they pertain to a company's strategic advancement. These decisions are almost always implemented using an organizational development project. Understandably, members of the senior management and project management prefer to make the process as predictable and tangible as possible. Frequently, they rely on resource planning for (a subjective sense of) certainty. However, it can be generally observed that traditional resource planning is an insufficient solution for organizational development projects. Quotes like the following illustrate how fancifully it is implemented and utilized: "105 percent of the time, my employees are working at 200 percent of their capacity." The present thesis not only provides an overview of existing approaches, their potentials and limitations, but also shows how adequate resource planning can be productively implemented.
Download or read book Human Resource Management in the Project Oriented Organization written by Dr Martina Huemann and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations regularly assume that the culture, values, dynamic and organization of their temporary project organizations are merely a smaller version of the original parent. Given that project organizations are made up of people and teams drawn, in most cases, from outside and inside the parent, these assumptions are nonsensical. But they do explain why the HR function finds it difficult to adapt to the project environment. Martina Huemann's research in Human Resource Management in the Project-Oriented Organization, offers insight into an approach that is designed to align HR to the needs of the project organization, in terms of management structure, reward, recruitment and performance systems. The text analyses how the modern HR organization stacks up alongside the temporary organization that is the project, to identify the HR constraints and needs of the project organisation and offer a model of project-oriented HRM. Professor Huemann had a deep interest in how and why change processes come into existence and how to design and enable them. In her book she endeavors to bridge theory and practice, strategy and operations.

Download or read book Human Resource Planning written by Peter Reilly and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is designed to give readers an introduction to the principles of human resource planning (HRP) and the areas in which it can be used, including those facing today's managers. Chapter 1 outlines why some organizations no longer plan, describes the background of change and uncertainty that discouraged them, and defines HRP. Chapter 2 first discusses why, although facing some of the same pressures, other organizations continue to use HRP. The reasons discussed include planning for substantive reasons, i.e., to have a practical effect, and planning because of the process benefits. The second part of the chapter addresses where, how, and by whom HRP is carried out. Chapter 3 illustrates the uses of HRP. It contains selected examples pertinent to the problems that organizations are facing today and have always faced. Four issues are used to illustrate the sorts of uses to which HRP is put: determining staff numbers required at a new location; retaining highly skilled staff; managing an effective downsizing program; and determining where the next generation of managers will come from. Chapter 4 focuses on the process benefits of HRP, the value that comes from posing the questions more than attempting to answer them. It covers three broad areas in which asking the questions is seen as useful: thinking about the future, corporate control, and integrating actions. Chapter 5 looks toward the future of HRP. Contains 25 references. (YLB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (USE FOR PRACTITIONER/BUSINESS PIECES) In an increasingly knowledge-based economy, a company's success hinges on the quality of its people. People set strategy, make decisions, build relationships, and drive change. Businesses possess a powerful advantage if their people do their jobs better and faster than the competition. The need for more sophisticated, integrated, and strategically linked human resource applications (e.g., selection systems, training programs, and performance management interventions) is recasting the very role of HR. One of the critical tools in the HR professionals' toolkit that has been used to create these applications is job analysis. However, much of today's job analysis practice has failed to keep up with the evolutionary pace. This book is about a "next generation" job analysis method that involves translating business strategies into work performance and competency requirements, and using this information and data to create an architecture that can be used to support the sophisticated HR applications and enterprise resource planning systems that will be a part of high-performance third millennium organizations. Numerous case studies, applied examples, and project management tips contribute to the practice-oriented design of the book to illustrate a personnel research activity that is essentially an ongoing organizational development intervention.
