You can make a presentation to convince us why and then we can discuss this more.\u201d<br \/> Choose an organization with which you are familiar or to which you have access to public information (e.g., BP, McDonalds, Wells Fargo, Starbucks). You will be using this organization throughout the course in various assignments.<br \/> For this Application, create a 7- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that you would present to a group of directors on why the HR function should be more strategic. Include the following:<br \/> \u2022 How the organization\u2019s strategic planning might benefit from using a systems-thinking approach, which would include HR<br \/> \u2022 The benefits and contributions HR might bring as a strategic partner<br \/> \u2022 The role HR metrics can have in the organization\u2019s strategic planning and implementation of strategies<br \/> \u2022 How HR metrics might be the driver of organizational change<br \/> \u2022 How HR metrics contribute to the organization\u2019s future success<br \/> Be specific, and provide examples with references to the literature.<\/p>\n<p>Course Text<br \/> \u2022 Becker, B., Huselid, M.
