This paper, authored by HumanConcepts CEO Martin Sacks, takes a contemporary look at how precisely and continually organizations must make staffing decisions in our post-recession economy. Mr. Sacks explains why agility and organizational optimization are now essential best practices, and how the right underlying technology can support on-going planning to continuously keep staffing aligned with business conditions. He insightfully likens organizational optimization to a chess match: Organizations must always be planning their next optimal move and regularly anticipate and plan for multiple potential environments, considering within each scenario the effectiveness and value of every position in terms of the organizational goal.
The paper describes software requirements, including generation of detailed metrics, to help management find optimal organizational solutions and plan the next moves for every employee.
