Strategic Talent or Resource Planners
Planning for talent and resource needs typically focuses internally - just on employees, in determining how the future skill and expertise requirements will be met. Yet increasingly, companies are relying on vendors and outside expertise to supplement the internal resources, creating an expanded organization beyond the formal organization chart.
Challenge
The challenge is how to take into account the extended resource needs and resource availability, through the total combination of employees, vendors and contractors, in looking and the broader future resource needs and capabilities of the company. Over the past decade, there has been a huge increase in the influence of Strategic Sourcing functions in companies, and industry associations like Sourcing Interests Group.
