View Simplified Strategic Planning presentation here

It is required at the highest levels of an organization right down to the department head.  Unless a
strategy is in place, activities cannot be aligned to accomplish a common goal.  If you are familiar with
the old adage "if you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there," you know that
strategic direction is critical for success, especially in today's economic climate.  

  • Thinking strategically - and why it is important at all levels
  • Applying strategy throughout the organization
  • Establishing measures to ensure outcomes

Once you know where you want to go, you need to make sure you have the "tools" to get there.  Your most
valuable asset is your people.  Like any other asset (money, equipment, etc.), you must make absolutely
sure that you have the right assets, in the right place, at the right time to achieve your organizational
mission.  There is a method to planning a workforce that will provide maximum efficiency at a minimal
cost.

  • Deploying the right people with the right skills, at the right time, at the right cost
  • Determining the proper skills required at all levels to achieve the organization's mission
  • Planning for growth and change within the organization

Ronald Beckwith, Ph.D., TMG Senior Consultant has over twenty years of HR leadership experience with
focused expertise in staffing and retention, workforce planning, training and development, and workplace
diversity. Dr. Beckwith developed and led enterprise-wide Workforce Planning initiatives that projected
future talent needs, e.g., skill supply-demand gaps, in response to a rapidly aging corporate workforce
and tight labor markets for one of the largest integrated energy companies in the US.  He also developed
long-term human capital plans including a new Workforce Planning strategy group to manage on-going
projections and talent management solutions that saved $2 million in annual staffing costs, avoiding
$62 million human asset investment exposure, and avoided $82 million in projected turnover cost in
2007-2012.
