Comment on What is Strategic HR? by Cindy Ann Eliassen

Build the table first.. hmm guess that answers my own question. (here is a copy of what I had posted on Linkedin the other day)

Where is HR’s chair in the board room?
Companies are more than happy, and basically often very dependant on having accountants, lawyers and Business Development Managers as part of their steering commitee and board members. But, too often the door is held shut for HR professionals.
Accountants represent finance, lawyers are the company’s watchdog over legal issues, BDMs often advise on business strategies etc.
But, what who is speaks on behalf of the company’s Human Capital? Thats HR’s arena.
I ask once again… Why are we not seeing more HR sitting at the table in Board meetings?
–here is where the table comes in….

Touche!, Build the table… And I would add that probably there’s no need to have a table at all…
thank you!

Tim, I agree with the comments from your colleague. At my last position I worked directly with the CEO, and his view on strategy was that it does not mean much with out clearly articulating throughout the organization. If those down stream do not cearly understand it, and are not fully engaged and alligned, goals cannot be execute with precision against the orveraching strategy. Further, viable benchmarking and measurement /feedback mechanisms may be misaligned. HC certainly can help scope and drive stragey by championing and partnering with the leadership at all levels of the organization.

Alejandro,

I am really talking about a more strategic role. A strategic business partner has a seat at the table to help leaders through their people issues. What I am talking about is building the table! If HR can build strategic people practices to engage employees to drive business results and high-performance cultures, business leaders would jump for joy. Strategic HR is very proactive and can be a leader in aligning employees to the company’s business strategy.

Good points. But what about HR working as ‘strategic business partner’? is the same with other name or it means an even more strategic role, that needs a new set of competencies? Thanks,

Very good read, thank you Tim.
A distinction + focus between tactical & strategic HR practices is key in delivering its success.
I think we all agree that they both go hand-by-hand; you need a solid base “tactical” to pursue into the next level “startegic” which in turn fuels your “tactical” elements and so forth.

Thanks again,
Haitham
