“I think one thing to consider is experience, because I think when someone has gone through a whole transformation experience once, they're quite well equipped to help an organisation to know what to look out for, where we can accelerate, where we can focus, where we can simplify, what are the traps, what are the things to to avoid?”
Key takeaways: As businesses look to develop resourcing plans that align with their business strategy, working out what those required skills are is a key part of HR's value. However, in addition to being able to assess the skills needed in the here and now, organisations will also need people who can anticipate how things might change, describe what good will look like in the future, and understand what's happening in the wider marketplace and the implications this has. HR professionals therefore need to reassess their role in the overall talent strategy for their business, and insist on being part of the bigger discussion on realising the organisation’s vision.
