Much too frequently, HR is left out of the central planning process. HR practitioners are too often associated with the very bureaucracy that organizations are trying to cut through, if not out. Top management commonly views organization as structure and process, devoid of human dynamics. Consequently, HR, and the people it represents, get short shrift. Incredibly, and increasingly, organizations are reengineering themselves without considering their human components.
People are fit in after the fact.
HR professionals must become more knowledgeable about the process of organizational transformation, within the context of business strategy and tactics. All of this calls for creative thinking. We suggest you begin by opening your mind to all of the ways that HR can serve organizations of the future. Be sure to involve individuals from other organizational areas. When you have your answers, take action.
