What follows is a concise summary of over a dozen academic studies over the last few years. Their conclusions are largely mixed on overall results but fairly consistent on critical success factors.

Key to this process is the accurate and insightful data that can effectively support decision-making in each of these areas:
1. Who should we be attracting?
2. Who should we hire?
3. How can we bring them up to a level of high performance rapidly?
4. How can we create a positive mutually beneficial relationship between the employee and the company?
5. How can we manage them so that they perform at a high level and as close to optimally as possible?
6. How can we best make decisions about who should do what next and deal with the what ifs so we are prepared if we lose key people for health or other reasons.

The Problems with Most Organizational Planning Processes

The objective of a planning process, in marketing or elsewhere, is typically to pick the most worthwhile goals and figure out how to get there in the most efficient way possible.

This leads to really bad decisions and I believe is a primary reason that statistically, most businesses and plans fail.
