No longer can personnel resources be underutilized in either skill or capacity. Today’s dynamic business environment demands a degree of responsiveness and cost competitiveness that can only be achieved through heightened personnel flexibility and interchangeability. To achieve this requires the building of a foundation of standardized policies and procedures that align personnel resource management practices across the organization.
“Execution is where the rubber meets the road.”
Executives and managers maximize their organization’s value through transformative change brought about by the effective execution of a long-range plan. Some executives and managers, by setting long-term goals, the achievement of which is supported by a tactically flexible long-range plan, establish the conditions necessary for their organization to realize the significant benefits of transformative change. In other organizations, executives and managers concern themselves with small incremental improvements, eliminating the possibility of attaining the breakaway successes of truly great organizations.
