...Purchasing & Supply Management Jargon Buster from The Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply P&SM Jargon Buster V1 Introduction As with many other professions in the business world the Purchasing & Supply Management (P&SM) profession is no different. It suffers from the use of jargon and acronyms that may be difficult to interpret and understand. The objective of this document is to define some of the acronyms commonly used and clarify the Jargon. Clearly this product cannot take account of all jargon used but will attempt to achieve clarity where possible; this document does not replace ‘The Official Dictionary of Purchasing & Supply (Terminology for Buyers and Suppliers) by Professor Jessop and H.K Compton.

...(Re)Designing the HR Organization Amy Kates, Downey Kates Associates M 22 any HR functions have gone through the process of transformation over the past decade. This redefinition of the work of HR is intended to allow a more strategic focus on talent management and organizational capability while systematizing HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING 29.2 and controlling the cost of transactional work. Little formal consideration has been given, however, to how these new complex HR organizations should be configured to best achieve these goals. This article highlights the operational challenges created by the most common organization design used by HR departments—the business partner model—and presents an emerging model— the solutions center—that is intended to address these flaws. Each model is described and discussed and a set of considerations for the HR leader is offered in order to maximize the effectiveness of the chosen organization design. Over the last decade there has been a profound shift in the work of the HR function. The publication in 1997 of David Ulrich’s Human Resource Champions spurred HR leaders across various industries to realign their organizations in order to undertake “strategic business partner” work. At the same time, a focus on cost-cutting and efficiency aimed at staff functions in general—and at HR in particular—has pushed much HR transactional work into shared services or to outsourced vendors. For many HR departments, this process of “transformation...
