Product Description
Product Description
There is no more critical role for today's human resource professionals than that of Strategic Business partner (SBP). SBPs demonstrate competence in many ways - through their questioning of clients, their knowledge of the business, and their ability to translate business needs into performance requirements and people initiatives. But performing effectively as an SBP requires use of a mental model as a guide or rudder. This practical book provides that model. Experts Dana and Jim Robinson describe the four key concepts integral to this mental model and critical to success as an SBP. They describe the three accountabilities SBPs must accomplish: access to those accountable for achieving business results; credibility with clients; and trustworthiness for delivering results, working with integrity, and supporting the organization's values. The authors' detailed analysis of this subject makes Strategic Business Partner required reading for human resource pros on the way up the ladder.

A must for Human Resources professionals
8 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
This is the best definition of the HRD role I have ever read. I have been practicing these techniques in my own role as an external consultant, they have helped me a lot. I always suggest my clients to read it, specially to those involved in the HRD departments. This a very practical way of being more strategic and have a real impact on the company you are working on. Also this new perspective, full of examples and "how to" guides, will give HR people real influence on businees issues. I strongly recommend this book.

The HR pro as business partner
13 April 2006
Format:Hardcover
Dana Gaines and James C. Robinson's STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNER: ALIGNING PEOPLE STRATEGIES WITH BUSINESS GOALS is the first book to consider the human resource professional's importance in the business partner role. Major SBP responsibilities elevate the HR person to that of strategic partner, re-defining the role and adding an extra dimension of accountability into the mix. Chapters explore and explain the partnership concept, its role and applicability in the workplace, and how the HR position can become strategic.
