Business Strategy & Commercial Acumen
We believe the HR function can make a substantial contribution to business strategy and improving organisation effectiveness. To do this, HR professionals need to be commercial - understand their organisation's business model, how it makes money, and how to improve performance. There also needs to be a clear line of sight between business and people strategies. This category covers HR's role in developing and communicating business strategy, how to connect business and people strategies, and how to develop a business and commercial savvy HR function.
