How effective was the modelling process for BCC?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

? In the Department of Education it enabled managers to link the number of births
to school places and identify the number of head teachers required
? It enabled the HR directorate and executive management team to understand the
staffing challenges that it faced in a period of austerity and how that would
impact on relevant services
? Horizon and scenario planning provided the external and internal tools for senior
and middle managers to identify and visualise the impact of an aging workforce,
consider succession planning and balance skill levels to deal with potential gaps
? There is no evidence-based research on WIP in HRM/SHRM studies despite it
being in practice for three decades.
? A lack of evaluation studies nationally and internationally means that, as yet,
there is no evidence that can be utilised to show the impact of WIP in
organisations. This is also a fault in the large-scale organisations, including the
US Navy and Starbucks, that have implemented WIP without evaluating the
impact through a robust longitudinal study.
? A common criticism at a practitioner level is that HR departments are not given
the appropriate training to implement WIP.
