      Traditional H.R. Planning
               Staff roles and functions changing little,
               little attention to costs or efficiency
      Finance Limited H.R. Planning
               Staff numbers and mix determined or
               limited by finance
      Performance Driven H.R. Planning
                Staffing driven not simply by
                finance limits but also by demands
                for efficient use of resources

               The ideal for the workforce 
                      (2000s concept), 
             in human resource terms, is to 
                             have:
                The right number of people,
                With the right skills,
                In the right place,
                At the right time,
                With right attitudes/
                commitment,
                Doing the right work,
                At the right cost,
                With the right productivity.
          This ideal is never achieved or at best minimally, 
                              because 
         the workforce and the workforce environment is an
              extremely complex and dynamic system.
