It is much more difficult to understand and actually make this true over the lifetime of a company. In fact, the links between people issues and attaining your desired performance outcomes remains a mystery to the vast majority of companies. This book pulls the shroud of mystery away and clearly defines the essential elements of strategy dynamics, a system that will help ensure that you are developing employee talent to perform at their best advantage for your organization. Building on the foundation of strategy dynamics, this book shows you how people-oriented initiatives in your organization will develop through time, how to track and adjust those initiatives to keep them on course, and how to trace their impact on your goals. Although it presents a rigorous outline of how to capture the solid resource factors at the heart of your organization, it also shows you how to specify "soft factors" such as morale, capabilities, and even reputation among customers and investors, so you can see their impact on the tangible parts of the business, and hence on performance. Case examples lead you toward "action checklists" that help you plot out the things you need to properly take advantage of the resources you have, as well as those you need to acquire. The result will be better decisions about this important and costly issue and much greater confidence in your ability to deliver the outcomes your organization desires.
