A port authority board is ready to vote a cruise-terminal expansion into the strategic plan. The CHRO has not been asked for input and knows licensed mariners and credentialed security screeners are scarce. What should the CHRO do before the vote?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Chasing a cruise terminal without checking who can run it is like buying a ferry before anyone has a captain's license. After the vote, staffing is a scramble, not a choice. Put people-capacity on the opportunity screen before the board writes it into the plan.
Full Explanation
Future business opportunities belong in organizational strategy only after people-capacity is tested. Licensed mariners and credentialed screeners are scarce labor, so a cruise-terminal vote without a workforce-feasibility brief converts a strategic option into an unstaffable commitment. Emergency postings and late recruiting dollars are post-vote recovery, not opportunity screening. SPHR contribution is to force that analysis into the board packet before the opportunity is locked.
