In order to be successful an organisation must be able to mange the relationship
between the overall business strategy and the strategies in different resource areas such
as HR, finance, information or technology. Managing these resource areas in line with the
overall business strategy is key to making those strategies deliverable.
Human resources (the knowledge, competencies and behaviours that people bring with them
to work) are central to successful implementation of strategy and as both HR managers and
Line managers are essential to leading and motivating individuals, both must be involved
in the formulation and implementation of HR strategy.
