(Offsite Meeting—Including Plan-to-Plan Session)

Educating on HRM

• To gain a common set of principles and knowledge about the three main premises for the successful creation of the People Edge.
• To identify the three goals of Strategic HR Planning; to recognize that planning is really one-part of a two-part Strategic Management System (SMS); to learn what that really means.
• To understand how to design, build, and sustain (i.e., create) the "People Edge" through The Systems Thinking Approach™.
• To assess and examine our Six People Edge Best Practices Areas research vs. your current organization.
• To assess and examine all aspects of the strategic people issues facing us and our current people edge status as a way to understand the Reinvented Strategic HR Planning Model and to determine where we stand in our current planning efforts.

Organizing and Tailoring

• To conduct an actual Plan-to-Plan session in order to determine next steps (if any) for a tailored Strategic HR Planning process for our organization (and the rest of the Strategic Management System).

Attendees
The Core Planning Team (including all senior management and HR top executives) as a minimum. It can also include other key stakeholders in the morning session as well (Executive Briefing section).

Key Benefits of a Strategic Human Resource Management System

• Take a proactive strategic approach to positioning the people in the organization to maximize your competitive advantage.
• Partner HR with Line Management to solve people related business issues.
• Build a cross-functional approach for dealing with people management issues.
• Identify the "high leverage" core people strategies that will provide maximum advantage to the organization.
• Focus your Human Resource Department practices on outcomes and efficiencies rather than activities and bureaucracy.
• Provide a quantifiable base for measuring the "people edge" value-added benefits to customers, the organization and to employees themselves.
• Provide the basis for intelligent "people edge" budget and resource allocation decisions.
• Ensure people strategies are actively executed.
• Provide the basis for managed organizational change.
• Ensure everyone is "singing the same tune" in relation to people management within the organization (i.e., attunement of people's hearts and minds in support of satisfying the customer).
