If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can be like the A-Team. There are many models describing the roles of HR, of which Ulrich's model is probably most famous or notorious. But when we consider strategic HR to be a team effort, we should take lessons from the best performing team in (television) history: the A-team! Please let me know what you think. And perhaps you have other suggestions for what management can learn from TV. Contact me through info@wendbaarheid.nl or www.wendbaarheid.nl!

I love it when a plan
comes together
HR is top priority for
organizations.
This requires not only
strategic planning but also
flawless execution. It’s not
enough to be strategic, HR
should be a strategic
implementer.
And if plan A fails…
improvise!

Hello…ladies…
The added value of hr
is all about perception
Of course, HR needs to
deliver value. But it needs to
deliver value in a way that is
recognized by the
organization.
Not by lying, but by
presenting the facts in a
‘form=content’-way.

Shut up! Fool!
Hr needs a strong arm
When all else fails HR needs
a strong arm. In the end it is
HR that enforces the
measures required to let
employees perform and that
governs the behaviour of
management and employees.

Think outside the box.
Strategy, sweet talkin’ and
force might not always get
results. Think outside the
box.
And dare to be the court
jester for management.

i’m a choo-choo train!

Leave special effects
up to the specialist.
HR does not need to be
able to do it all. When you
have specific projects, or
need specific expertise,
seek outside help.
And then make them
part of your team.
Outsource
to specialist
Stay in
contact
Stay in contact with
the outside world.
Have a process in place
for staying in touchh with
the ‘outside’ world.
Make sure
management and
employees can
find you when
they need you.
