Traditionally, strategic planners and human resource professionals have taken separate approaches in their attempts to improve organization functioning. As a result, strategic planners lack important information that affects the implementation of their plans and human resource managers have little impact on the strategic direction of their organizations. The University of Michigan, Hay Associates, and The Strategic Planning Institute have come together in a new venture to build a multicompany database that links organization characteristics and human resource and strategic planning practices with data on company financial performance. The database will be used to make intercompany comparisons on significant organization variables and to identify those practices that lead to improved financial performance.
传统上，战略规划者和人力资源专业人员在试图改善组织运作时采取了不同的方法。结果，战略规划者缺乏影响其计划实施的重要信息，而人力资源经理对其组织的战略方向影响甚微。密歇根大学、合益集团（Hay Associates）和战略规划研究所共同开展了一项新计划，以建立一个多公司数据库，该数据库将组织特征、人力资源和战略规划实践与公司财务绩效数据联系起来。该数据库将用于对重要的组织变量进行公司间比较，并确定那些能带来财务绩效提升的实践。
