1. OP&A, that missing HR department
When we think about HR, we intuitively think about compensation, talent management, recruitment, etc. Rarely does OP&A pop up in our minds. Organizational planning and analysis is a critical capability for the organizations to be forward-looking in solving for questions like are we doing the right work, do we have the right organizational system, what are the talent and skill demands of the future and what long-term capabilities are needed in the organization. Tune in to start the journey of creating a robust OP&A function.

4. Explain it! Org capability, competency and skills
Let’s not use them interchangeably, please. Org capability is what organizations have as combination of people, systems and processes. Skill is what you can do, competency is how to apply those skills in the work.

3. Understand the work before understanding the workforce
What do you do? What work does your team do? How does the work help create business outcomes? Do you enjoy doing the work? Should you even be doing this work? Answers to these questions provide us an understanding of how we create business impact and how we make decisions around workforce planning. Ask these questions as part of your quarterly business review and link it to the HR processes.

Why Organizational Planning and Analysis Are So Important w/ Rupert Morrison, orgvue
Why is organizational planning and analysis important? Well, most organizations don’t remain the same. Rather, they continuously evolve, and constantly need shaping and finessing in order to perform. Research from orgvue and CEBR found that companies that invest in organizational planning and analysis have a 2x increase in productivity growth. For the U.S. economy; that's potentially worth $100 billion!But, the current method of organizational design is falling behind the needs of the modern-day workplace. They struggle to understand where they are, let alone their plans and aspirations for the future. Most organizations invest 90-100% of HR...

As I wrote in my annual list of HR predictions for 2021, which we covered on last week's episode, the pandemic has thrust the Human Resources function into the spotlight. All eyes are on HR. Some have likened the pivotal role the CHRO is playing in this crisis to that played by the CFO in the global financial crisis. Undoubtedly HR has a unique role to play, but how does the function shift towards generating value for the business, the customer, the workforce, investors and the community...
