...workforce planning and how is it related to strategic business planning? What are some critical inputs for forecasting? What sorts of decisions do organizations make as a result of a workforce analysis? Strategic business planning outlines the long range perspective of the business, and sets the primary objectives and goals for the company. It directly feeds into operational planning, which defines the organizational strategies and the resources required to accomplish the long range goals. With the help of the operational planning, managers identify which parts of the business they need to hire new talent and plan for budget requirements. Workforce planning uses the feedback from strategic planning to identify business needs and assess the internal supply’s capability to meet those needs. Based on this information and the operational planning feedback, staffing levels are determined, and net workforce requirements are computed. Using this assessment along with the budgeting figures from various managers, the human resources authorizes staffing requirements, implements necessary internal talent moves (via promotions and transfer), and recruits new staff members. These action plans also include potential revisions to compensation and benefit plans in the company. In our workplace, we follow a very similar approach in assessing general business growth. However, I am working in a relatively new sub-area in our company, and we are more flexible in our resource planning. We can...

...Introduction of the purpose and importance of risk management Risk management planning is a critical and often overlooked process on every project. Allowing for the proper amount of risk planning in your project schedule can mean the difference between project success and project failure when those potential risks become real issues. The plan is only the output of the process. It details how the process will be implemented, monitored, and controlled through the life of this project. It details how the group will manage risks but doesn’t attempt to define the responses to individual risks. Risks come about for many reasons, some are internal to the project, and some are external such as but not limited to the project environment, the management process, planning process, inadequate resources, and other unforseen instances that can contribute to risk. Risks associated with the project generally concern the objectives, which turn to impact time, cost, or quality, or combination of those three things. Risk management provides assurance that an organization can create and implement an effective plan to prevent losses or reduce the impact if the a loss occurs. A good plan includes strategies and techniques for recognizing and confronting the threats, solutions for both preventing and solving the situation and indicates financial opportunities. An effective risk management practice does not terminate risks. However, an effective and operational risk management practice demonstrates...
