HR was primarily veiwed as a support function in the past decades. Not very recently was it recognized more than as a supportive dept. for a company. Most of stratgic planning for human capital is done by the HR now and yet very low percent of companies are successful in executing the plans.
Wonder whats missing between the planning stage to the execution stage. A lot of companies find communication gaps between the HR and the business groups as one of the major hurdles in the execution of strategies.
A recent article in the SHRM newsletter highlights four most commonly used strategy execution methods as
Aligning strategy with the corporate vision/mission statement.
Aligning organizational goals with strategy.
Aligning business units’ goals with organizational goals.
Aligning business units with strategy.

Interesting blog! I thought you might find this little article on my HR blog interesting. I think it might help plug the gap you discuss here.

Your blog is very insightful Scott. Thanks for sharing.
I do agree HR professionals have a long way to go to be efficient as HR partners.
Human Resources often get a hard press in the business world but, depending on the size of the company, they can be a large cog in the machine and an important one at that. They deal with clients, customers, employees and more. New employees, particularly, so getting your CV from Von Essen Consulting before them is an ideal situation, and one that the consulting agency can help you with.
