Making
a Bang in '07: Partnering with the C-Suite for
Organizational
Excellence
January 2007
Newsletter
As
we begin 2007, most of us have set new goals, higher
goals, in our work and personal lives. Professionals in
all industries are looking for ways to become more
valuable in the New Year -- make a bang so-to-speak. One
theme that's common in the human resource industry is
how we, as human resource professionals, can position
ourselves as a corporate strategy driver and executive
partner, rather than a tactical
dept.
This
month's issue includes articles that highlight the
various strategies human resource professionals and
departments are using to partner with the executive
suite to gain organizational excellence. You will find
what some in the industry are doing to help their
organizations meet complicated competitive challenges,
and how to take the HR department to new levels.
We
hope this issue will help in your partnership with the
C-Suite and start your 2007 with a bang.

Good
Things Come In Threes-for HR
It's said that bad things come in threes. But
sometimes, good things come in threes, too. And
this particular set of threes is all about
advancing the HR profession. First, I'm pleased to
report that in April we completed the 10th and
final taping of the 2006 season of "CEO Exchange,"
a program sponsored by the Society for Human
Resource Management (SHRM) to help promote the

from the Top

of mind for leaders of many of the worlds largest
corporations. Business talk shows often deal with

balance sheets and stock prices. But CEOs and

Measuring
the Value of HR
American
Standard is taking big strides in showing the
connection between good HR and a healthy bottom
line. As head of HR at two different global
companies-PepsiCo and Campbell Soup-Larry Costello

profession. Yet he wasn't satisfied. "I needed to
find a place where I could prove the importance
and power of people to the success of the
business," he
