One way to define the responsibilities of HR departments is to think of HR as a business within the company with three product lines. One of them is being a strategic partner. It involves contributing to the company's strategy through an understanding of its existing and needed human resources and ways HR practices can give the company a competitive advantage. For strategic ideas to be effective, HR people must understand the business, its industry, and its competitors. In this case, Kathleen's strategic ideas were not effective because she did not make an attempt to understand Jade's business, its industry, and its competitors.
