the challenge

The greatest single challenge that HR managers face in becoming strategic business partners is to appreciate the “powerful connections” and “deadly combinations” caused over time – as intended and unintended consequences – by feedback structures.  Research has shown that currently-available HRIS applications and analysis packages do not address this challenge well.

Complex feedback effects, operating over time within firms, also have presented a difficult challenge for their human resources advisors.  This strategic HR consulting problem is one of integrating multiple-level, longitudinal, workforce-wide data in rendering effective advice.

Advisors continue to probe for approaches that will help them to respond comprehensively to a client’s ultimate strategic HR question: “What set of integrated recommendations does the consultant recommend, to help ensure that the client maintains the right workforce at the right times and places, for today’s operating plan and tomorrow’s strategic plan?”

Consultants’ specialist approaches (in their own organizational structures, and in the services they provide) predictably have failed to provide integrated responses that take interaction effects and longitudinal developments into account. 

In our personal experience, confirmed through "insider" interviews, global HR consulting firms are very challenged to offer advice integrated across human resources domains and across the operational and strategic concerns of the client. 

Moreover, the challenge is not limited to modeling unintended consequences; any dynamic projection of the workforce that crosses HR “silos”, incorporates operations data, or attempts to reflect individual decisions has been similarly problematic.  Our approach is novel in scholarly research to date; we believe it is entirely unexploited in today’s consulting practice or software applications relating to HR concerns.

the mission of RWF Associates

Through computer-simulated projections that integrate data across an organization and over time, across its human resources and other business domains, RWF Associates aids firms or their advisors in the development and implementation of human resources strategies that succeed over the long-term. 

We believe that the greatest scope of contribution of the RightWorkForce™ approach and Kaleid-Array™ models can be realized through collaboration with one or more Consulting/Information Colleagues.  Assuming such collaboration(s), we define our own mission as follows:

• To provide to management and HR advisors and to information applications or service providers globally, a computer simulation capability that promotes their clients’ understanding of workforce dynamics, and leads to their clients’ increased demand for their consulting, data processing or integration services and clients' increased strategic success.

RightWorkForce™ simulations and Kaleid-Array™ integrated models

offer business-oriented, dynamic workforce simulations.

Complex feedback effects, operating over time, have always have presented a difficult challenge for firms and their human resources advisors.

RWF Associates' integrated models address this challenge.
