Case Study - Business Plan Development (HR and Training)Major Iron Ore Terminal - WA, Australia
The Challenge
To achieve the goals set out in the Port Operations Business Plan, the client’s HR and Training function needed to confirm that the team possessed a clear understanding of the site Business Plan, Objectives, Measures and Targets and the path their function needed to take, to achieve delivery of this plan.
To accomplish this, EnterpriseIS needed to facilitate the HR and Training function through a Business Planning process that ensured alignment with the overall site Business Plan.
The Solution
In order to develop this plan, the following steps were taken:
- Review overall business strategy for the next 1, 3 and 5 years
- Understand the implications to the HR and Training function, based on the overall business strategy and requirements
- Assess the current ‘Strengths’ and Weakness’ for the HR and Training function, based on past performance
- Develop the required Objectives, Measures and Targets for the coming 12 months that will deliver on the overall business requirements and strategy
- Agree on the responsibilities for delivering on the targets and the time required to deliver.
The Results
- A 12 month HR and Training Business Plan developed covering the 5 key driver areas for the business
- Business Plan objectives that were deemed to be critical in addressing the ‘Key Business Risks’ were highlighted
- Business Plan objectives that were deemed to be ‘Vital’ in supporting the delivery of the business requirement were highlighted
- Business alignment on the challenges ahead to achieve the plan and the focus that will be required, as well as the total commitment by all to deliver the HR and Training Business Plan.
