I think the key things that will put HR on the ’strategic’ map are the following;

* A scalable, objective technology or methodology that can be used on a widespread basis.

* The ability of the above to improve the economics of an organisation that uses it. Cheaper, more efficient, faster etc. etc.

* Given the implicit innovation, the above will change processes/people’s roles to adjust to new ways of working.

* The approach will sufficiently valuable that some CEO’s will take this ’strategy’ to their shareholders.

At the moment, I don’t think there are too many candidates? 4G, Enterprise 2?

What about you, what do you think?

Whither HR? Twenty years is a long time but perhaps not long enough for the majority to realize the important decisions on human resource waiting for the attention of corporate leaders. CIPD's comment is good for HR. We need more like it. This is to counter the negative comments about HR. With all the arguments for and against, will HR ever become strategic business partner?

Twenty years is a long time but perhaps not long enough for the majority to realize the important decisions on human resource waiting for the attention of corporate leaders.

CIPD’s comment is good for HR. We need more like it. This is to counter the negative comments about HR.

With all the arguments for and against, will HR ever become strategic business partner?
