HRM Consultant case study Week 4
During Week 2, you conducted an external and internal analysis on your organization. You analyzed external factors (9 major forces) and internal factors (strategy to include SWOT, structure and culture. You based your research analysis on the entire organization.
Now you will take that research and analysis, and apply critical thinking to the situation. You may wish to refer back to Chapter 2 of your test, which provides great information on strategy development.
1. Based on that analysis, articulate a desired future for your organization. Basically, where is your organization now and where do they want to be?
2. Once you have determined a vision, identify three key focus areas (for your organization overall) to implement to achieve the desired future based upon your previous research. In simpler terms, how can they get there?
3. Using the organizations’ three key focus areas, link to the HR areas you have studied to date. How can HRM proactively contribute towards the organization implementing its three focus areas? Develop one HR strategic goal for each of the organization’s three focus areas. If, for instance, your organization would like to expand and open a new location, HRM could contribute towards that decision making by researching employment laws in the area, local labor availability, etc.
