Course Overview

Most disputes about aligning HR strategy with objectives begin as a conversation that was handled badly. A process for strategy with objectives that managers quietly work around has already failed. Participants finish able to explain this strand of people management and development to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It establishes a shared vocabulary for aligning HR strategy with objectives so that teams can disagree productively about it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for the wider people management and development agenda as they go. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with strategy with objectives. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place aligning HR strategy with objectives among the areas with the widest performance spread. Ambition around strategy with objectives outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of people management and development survives a hostile question.
