Profession divided over issue of strategic value

New research claims that 83 per cent of HR managers believe their department has its say in company issues.

Only 24 per cent of those questioned think their most valuable service is providing strategic guidance for the business.

And only 7 per cent of project managers questioned think strategy is the most important service they provide.
