The Role of Manpower Planning in Corporate Strategy

The Chief Executive's Viewpoint

Drake International Limited, was born in Winnipeg, Canada

This paper looks at the Manpower Planning function through the eyes of the Chief Executive. From this angle comes the proposition that, to be effective, manpower planning most irrevocably be tied to corporate strategy, and the reasons for this are laid out and analysed. There is also a hard-hitting assessment of management priorities, which might sound like heresy to some personnel managers. The paper also discusses confusion that might exist between what is strategic and what is operational in the personnel function, and the relationship that exists between the two.

'... deployment of capital is a critical Chief Executive decision. Equally critical, if not more so, is the procurement and deployment of people resources.'
