This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

You've just stepped into the HRD role — and by the end of your first week, leadership is already asking: "Where's our HR strategy?" You have a hiring plan, a budget, and a list of projects. But a real strategy — one you can put on the CEO's desk — doesn't exist yet. Sound familiar?

Most "HR strategies" look exactly the same: 3 pages of generic phrases copied from the internet, no numbers, no metrics, no connection to the business. The CEO never reads them. And when it's time to defend the HR budget, all you have are emotions and gut feelings.

This course takes a different approach. You don't sit through lectures about strategy theory. You step-by-step complete a 17-section HR strategy template — from company vision to an initiative roadmap with ROI — and leave with a finished document you can present to leadership next week.

In 3 Practical Demonstration Sessions You'll Complete the Full HR Strategy Creation Cycle:

Step 1. Diagnosis — What a real HR strategy is and how it differs from a plan or a budget. Dave Ulrich's Outside-In model for building strategy from the business perspective. Quick assessment of HR strategy maturity. Completing sections: vision, HR mission, business goals linked to HR.

Step 2. Building the Strategy — PESTEL, SWOT, and TOWS analysis for the HR context. Selecting HR metrics from a library of 30+ indicators with benchmarks. EVP and employee voice. 5-year priorities and annual HR goals with metrics. AI prompts for every section.

Step 3. Resources and CEO Defense — HR structure and headcount justification through objectives. HR budget and initiative ROI. Annual roadmap. Ready-made 10-slide presentation structure. 5 common CEO objections with scripted responses.
