Some analyst said that the Workforce and the organizational chart will be reinvented by 2015.

Dick Beatty is a perfect speaker, but unfortunately speaks about old-school HR style.

If you are interesting changes in HRM, read the Business IQ blog.

Professor Beatty, I adds credibility to the belief that people who cannot do, teach. Very little of value in the presentation, and offers little insight into the HR function.

The function in many companies serves neither management or employees very well.

If a company would use OR/MS to determine whether to buy a new building, or whole company for that matter based on expected output projections, then shouldn’t the same companies have just as many metrics for the employee?

Should companies raise the level of required output of a specific type of employee? Similar to knowing how much output would be expected from adding another machine to a factory etc..

It’s true, it would be really interesting for guests to get further involved or maybe more technical with the case study. You could have chosen a particular aspect of the case study and go deep into it. Very vague…
