METHOD FOR MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of managing human resources comprising:
- providing a business strategy;
based on said business strategy, periodically developing a set of rules for specifying supply sources for human resource supplies and for assigning individual human resources to satisfy demands;
based on said set of rules, periodically developing first-level plans specifying said supply sources; and
based on a most-recent of said first-level plans and on said set of rules, periodically developing second-level plans for assigning at least one of said individual human resources to satisfy at least one selected demand, wherein said second-level plans are developed more often than said first-level plans and said first-level plans are developed more often than said set of rules.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an integrated method and system for managing human resources. Specifically, the method and system integrates several processes (e.g., a process for developing a strategy and particularly for developing a set of rules on how human resources will be managed and sourced, a process for developing a long-term strategic plan for sourcing human resources to satisfy demands, a process for developing a near-term operational plan recommending individual human resources be used to satisfy selected demands, a process for selecting and assigning individual resources to specific engagements, etc.). Thus, the method operates through a spectrum of time horizons from the strategic to real time, providing a coherent and cohesive system for matching supply to demand based on the priorities of the business as represented through the set of rules.

9. A computer implemented method of managing human resources comprising:
-
providing a business strategy in a services environment; based on said business strategy, periodically developing a set of rules for specifying supply sources for human resource supplies and for assigning individual human resources to satisfy demands; based on said set of rules, periodically developing first-level plans for specifying said supply sources for said human resource supplies in order to satisfy demands such as ongoing demands, future demands and possible demands, over a first time period; and based on a most-recent of said first-level plans and on said set of rules, periodically developing second-level plans for assigning at least one of said individual human resources to satisfy at least one selected demand within a second time period, wherein said second-level plans are developed more often than said first-level plans, wherein said first-level plans are developed more often than said set of rules, and wherein said second time period is shorter than said first time period. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A program storage device readable by computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by said computer to perform a method of managing human resources, said method comprising:
-
providing a business strategy; based on said business strategy, periodically developing a set of rules for specifying supply sources for human resource supplies and for assigning individual human resources to satisfy demands; based on said set of rules, periodically developing first-level plans for specifying said supply sources for said human resource supplies; and based on a most-recent of said first-level plans and on said set of rules, periodically developing second-level plans for assigning of at least one of said individual human resources to satisfy at least one selected demand, wherein said second-level plans are developed more often than said first-level plan and wherein said first-level plans are developed more often than said set of rules. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system for managing human resources with different skills, said system comprising:
-
a first processor adapted to periodically develop a set of rules for specifying supply sources for human resource supplies and for assigning individual human resources to satisfy demands based on a business plan; a second processor in communication with said first processor and adapted to periodically develop first-level plans for specifying said supply sources according to said set of rules; and a third processor in communication with said second processor and adapted to periodically develop second-level plans for assigning at least one individual human resource to satisfy at least one selected demand according to said set of rules and according to a most-recent of said first-level plans, wherein said second processor develops said second-level plan more often than said first processor develops said first-level plan. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
