Environment Analysis
Analysis and diagnosis of an organization, often referred to as an Organization Audit or SWOT analysis
Undertaken to assess an organization’s ability to deal with its Internal and External Environment by identifying its Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
3
Internal EnvironmentOrganisation / Supply side analysis
An analysis of internal organizational factors which reviews and investigates the prevailing processes, resources and performance of organization. The analysis identifies major strengths and weaknesses - of all the key functional elements (Structure, Functions, HR, Finance, IT, Rules, Procedures, etc.).
4
External EnvironmentDemand side analysis
Covers the various stakeholders outside the organization. The analysis indicates the opportunities and threats faced by the organisation from its relationship with external stakeholders. Major categories of external environment: 1. Forces and trends – PEST 2. Clients, customers, or payers 3. Actual or potential competitors or collaborators

6
SWOT Profile- an example
7
Considerations
SWOT as very meaningful tool rather than a causal ‘warm-up’ for strategy formulation
Use precise, verifiable statements ("Cost advantage of Rs……/unit in sourcing resources x", rather than "Good value for money")- be specific
8
Considerations
Reduce long lists of factors, and prioritize them, so that you spend your time thinking about the most significant factors.
Make sure that options generated are carried through to later stages in the strategy formation process.
9
Considerations
Apply it at the right level - for example, we might need to apply SWOT Analysis at service-line level, rather than at the much vaguer whole organization level.
Use it in conjunction with other strategy tools (e.g. Core Competence Analysis) so that you get a comprehensive picture of the situation you're dealing with.

Strategic Issue Fundamental policy questions or
critical challenges that affecto An organization’s mandates, mission
and valueso Organization/managemento Costs, financingo Serviceso Consumers, users…. About which

Mission
Encapsulates the values and articulates the overall, long-term objective.
Brief statement that reflects the core values of an organization.
Communicates an organization’s long-term objectives – why the organization exists.

Mission- an example

16
Vision A vision is a dream or picture of
future success. A Vision statement outlines what
the organization wants to be in certain future point of time. It is a source of inspiration, and gives shape and direction to the organization’s future.
“Vision binds people together around a common identity and sense of destiny”
- Peter Senge

Formulation of HR Strategy
HR strategy can influence as well as be influenced by organizational strategy
More likely to follow the organizational strategies- dominated by service/market and financial considerations
The process involves generating strategic HRM options and making appropriate choices
26
HR Strategy formulation method
Assess feasibility Determine desirability Determine goals Decide means of achieving goals
27
HR strategy formulation approach
Best practices of HRM (universal, and contingent)
Best fit: HR strategies appropriate to the circumstances of organization including culture, operational processes and external environment
Configurational (bundling): bundle of HR practices- horizontal integration- will lead to greater performance and strategic fit
28
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
- Winston Churchill
Implementation
29
Gap in implementation
Rhetoric and reality in the area of human resource management, between HRM theory and HRM practice, between what the HR function says it is doing and how that practice is perceived by employees, and between what senior management believes to be the role of the HR function, and the role it actually plays.
30
Gap in implementation
the tendency of employees in diverse organizations only to accept initiatives they perceive to be relevant to their own areas;
the tendency of long-serving employees to cling to the status quo;
complex or ambiguous initiatives may not be understood by employees or will be perceived differently by them, especially in large, diverse organizations;
it is more difficult to gain acceptance of non-routine initiatives;
employees will be hostile to initiatives if they are believed to be in conflict with the organization’s identity, e.g. downsizing in a culture of ‘job-for-life’;
the initiative is seen as a threat;
31
Gap in implementation
inconsistencies between corporate strategies and values;
the extent to which senior management is trusted;
the perceived fairness of the initiative; the extent to which existing processes
could help to embed the initiative; a bureaucratic culture that leads to
inertia
32
The big question: WHY CHANGE INITIATIVES FAIL?
Change management will fail when one is
STUPID:
Sponsorship not forthcomingTeam member do not function as agents
of changeUnclear vision and commitmentPoorly planned change programmeInappropriate / insufficient communicationDon’t take account of culture
33
