HRM.Reference:4.2 - An office is an obtaining arrangement
| Arrangement under consideration | Contribution to specify | Consequence for the HR question |
|---|---|---|
| PMO or development office | The selected advisory, project, method, coordination or development-help functions; their recipients and access | HR consequences follow from actual work and terms. A catalogue of office functions does not teach their professional Methods. |
| Improvement or DBS function | Selection and support of worthwhile improvement or innovation, including opportunities after success | Supply time, capability and receiving work. Do not reduce every initiative to employee training. |
| Enabling team | A bounded facilitation or learning contribution with a receiving team | Determine what the recipient should later obtain or perform and when this interaction can change or end. |
| Knowledge service | Continuing access, use-time improvement and stewardship of knowledge | A continuing service can remain useful after local learning; removing it is not automatically independence. |
| AI CoE or platform service | Particular common capabilities, advice, standards or infrastructure | Separate service provision from a workload owner’s decisions and from personnel authority. |
Compare these with distributed provision, a competent colleague, an external professional and adequate agent work through OCE.8. Include the burden of obtaining and maintaining the help, not only the intervention. A title does not establish capability, availability, confidentiality or a useful result. An internal office may need its own Methods for client selection, intervention, preparation of helpers, capacity and continuing context. Those Methods are supplied by its own professional practice; the general Library connections do not create proprietary service know-how.
