Decision Strategies International, Inc. - Human Resources Industry

The nature of work has undergone a fundamental transformation, resulting in shifting requirements of the Human Resource function. HR leaders must plan for a long-term that includes a number of strategic uncertainties. DSI offers a systematic framework for structuring a strategic dialogue to address these challenges. Ask yourself:

Does our company have a clear and widely shared understanding of how the industry might be different in the future?
Is this vision clearly reflected in our short and long term priorities?
Does it challenge the status quo and capitalize on future opportunities?
Are the potential threats to our current business model well understood?
Is there clarity around the capabilities and human capital we will require to win in the future?

Achieving strategic alignment between the business strategy and the organizational competencies that support it is central to HR's strategic role. Doing so will require HR to generate different scenarios around changes in the industry, and identify the set of competencies the organization needs to achieve its long-term business goals under these various futures.

If HR leaders are to gain and maintain a seat at the strategy table, they must prove their ability to support strategic goals by identifying and developing a portfolio of organizational competencies are both robust and flexible across multiple scenarios -- that will spell success no matter what the future brings.

DSI offers a structured process for HR leaders to develop their workforce strategy using four distinct scenarios of the future, recently published in the HR 2015 Scenarios study developed in partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Our workshops and structured framework set the table for a strategic dialogue designed to enhance your decision making, and to prepare your organization for the human capital requirements of tomorrow.
