1-What are the types of experiences, especially staffing-related ones, that an organization will be likely to have if it does not engage in HR and staffing planning?

2-What examples can you share?

Class: We can talk about staffing planning, but this has to include some notion of business planning. The strategic part is still relevant to staffing planning.

3-What are some of the issues that come into plan when you trying to do planning and also trying to take care of your customer?

4- Is it a matter of just planning based on what a manager or a VP says that they will need in the future and then we go with it?

5- Do we have a consulting role in all of this--guide the organization so that the planning comes out with more realistic results once the plan is implemented?

6- It's also easy for HR to just do what they are told without challenging the organization.
