The document outlines 4 common pitfalls of project estimating: 1) Not allocating enough time to properly estimate which can lead to inaccurate estimates. 2) Not managing stakeholders' expectations by explaining that estimates evolve over time and when more accurate numbers can be expected. 3) Being too specific in early estimates since specific numbers do not necessarily mean accurate. Ranges are better than single point estimates early on. 4) Being over-optimistic and not realistic about what can realistically be achieved given potential challenges or delays. The document recommends allowing sufficient time for estimating, using ranges instead of specific numbers early on, regularly updating stakeholders, and planning estimates based on a realistic assessment of potential obstacles.

Role of the HR Business Partner in Strategic Workforce PlanningHuman Capital Media
Because human resources business partners are the key liaison between the HR function and the business leadership team, it’s logical to assume they are key stakeholders and integral contributors to the company’s strategic workforce plan (SWP) effort. However, it seems that the role HRBPs play varies widely from company to company, including not being involved at all. This seems counter-intuitive, considering that when the HRBP is involved they are positioned to facilitate the process typically in collaboration with business leaders and subject matter experts in SWP.
This session will look Edison International’s workforce planning model and how it includes their HRBPs.
Attendees will learn:
How to gain buy-in for instituting workforce planning.
How and why HRBPs are the anchors of the workforce plan.
How workforce planning can improve communication enterprise-wide.
How to form the collaborative relationship HRBPs must have with their SMEs and executives that will ensure success.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
