Executive summary The development of a human resource strategy that can support the plan of the business needs HRM planning to be included and recognized as an integral part of business planning strategy. The integration of the HR strategy and strategic planning is one of the chief elements that contribute to entrepreneurial excellence. There are four main themes that underpin the integration of HR strategy and strategic planning (Dawson, 1995). The first theme or assumption is that excellence in business entails a wider scope than just the mere accumulation of practices that are excellent. Secondly, achieving excellence in the corporate arena is the single most vital element that can be used by a business to achieve its missions, goals and visions (Agrylis, 1999). Thirdly, the aforementioned element gives the organization a holistic view where the focal...

...Criticize the use of strategic planning as a means to achieve organisational objectives. Strategic planning is the process by which managers of the firm analyze the internal and external environments for the purpose of formulating strategies and allocating resources to develop a competitive advantage in an industry that allows for the successful achievement of organizational goals Rothaermal (2012). Strategic planning cannot provide a precise and detailed picture of the future. Method of describing in detail the future of an organization is not a detailed description of its internal state and the situation in the external environment, but rather a mixture of qualitative wishes towards the state in which the organization wants to be in the future, what position to take in the market and in the business, what organizational culture to have. Strategic planning enables an organisation to determine its growth trajectory by analysing internal and external factors that may affect its growth in the long term. Due to its complexity and heavy commitment to strategic goals, strategic planning is rarely implemented successfully Fuller (2004). Often, the poor implementation is the reason for failure, although it is more often the case of misaligned operational and strategic goal. For instance, the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZIM-ASSET) is a strategic plan to turn around the economy. Therefore as much as strategic planning identifies constraints and possible...

Strategic Management from My Point of Views Before implementing a selected strategy from several alternatives, we should carefully analyze and consider the selected strategy. Strategy analysis can take a longer time before coming to the decision-making process. The intention is that an organization will be on the effective condition and position in attempting created goals and objectives in various influences from internal as well as external factors. Sometimes internal and external factors change the level of intensity and urgency in conducting certain kinds of strategic decisions completely. The orientation of such specific strategies based on various assumptions is related to the assumption which has been used by the planner, in this case, a manager or leader in an organization to produce a decisive strategy. Managers or leaders have to fully aware that all consequences from the implementation of the strategy are being measured and estimated appropriately. After an organization formulating their strategy, then the working units in the organization can set some technical ways in conducting the strategy. The next step is an organization needs to implement their created strategies to gain...

...AMERICAN MILITARY UNIVERSITY HRMT600 Human Resource Management Overall planning context Like all Organizations, Jamaica Transport (KIN) constantly has to adapt to external and internal changes. External changes such as economic situations, increased global commerce, new security threats or emerging environmental priorities impact directly on the organization’s business and HR plans. Internal changes, such as the need to carry out the organization’s business differently through risk management systems or a shrinking pool of skilled employees in our workforce, have equally important impacts on KIN’s business and HR plans. KIN must ensure that its current and future work, workforce and workplace are properly aligned and integrated with its goals and priorities. It has become clear that the organization’s most critical challenge is to recruit and retain the skilled workforce required to keep pace with change. This is further complicated by retirements, which bring loss of expertise, particularly among managers, as well as professional and technical employees. However, it is important to note that given the recent shift in the economic situation, the risk associated with these challenges might be diminished. Living in a changing environment brings new opportunities that might be reflected in the need to adjust and realign KIN’s focus and strategies. This reality requires strategic responses through a rigorous and adaptable planning process. Building on our strengths...

...skills and knowledge. However skills audits are also completed for other reasons such as restructuring and deployment. A skills audit gathers more information than simply your current qualifications level. It firstly identifies the skills matrices for the organisation and then delves into what the current competencies are of each individual against this predefined set of skills required to fulfill a specific role. The outcome of the skills audit process is a skills gap analysis. This information will enable the organisation to improve by providing the appropriate training and development to individuals to cater for the identified skill gaps. The skills audit process will also provide information which can be used for purposes such as internal employee selection and to ensure that the correct person is deployed in each position. 2. Benefits of Skills Audits in the Workplace The key piece of information an organisation needs to improve and to deliver to its Mission Statement and strategy is to know what skills and knowledge the organisation requires and what skills and knowledge the organisation currently has.
