For Assessment 2a you are to produce a PowerPoint presentation consisting of fifteen (15) slides.
Your presentation will provide information on the:
external environment of the organisation, analysed through a STEEPLED analysis
main opportunities and threats of the organisation revealed by the STEEPLED analysis
business strategy that you propose, and the logic for that strategy
organisation’s HR-related strengths and weaknesses in being able to implement the business strategy
HR strategy that you propose.
Specifically, you will need to develop an HR strategy that adequately supports the business strategy for the organisation that you have chosen. This business strategy will be based on your assessment of the external context of the organisation and the organisation’s goals. You will need to provide an assessment of the organisation’s external context through a STEEPLED analysis, the opportunities and threats faced by the organisation, propose a business strategy, identify the organisation’s HR strengths and weaknesses, and then propose a HR strategy.
The audience is the organisation’s board of directors.
The Assessment 2a worksheet shows the steps you need to complete. This follows the content of Weeks 01 and 02, and draws on the content of Weeks 03, 05 and 06 .
Key issues to address in your slides:
Does the presentation contain details about the external environment of the organisation? Is the STEEPLED analysis coherent? Are the main opportunities and threats explicitly identified?
Is there a clear statement of business strategy? Is there a clear logic for the business strategy?
Is there a clear recognition of the organisation’s HR-related strengths and weaknesses in being able to implement the business strategy?
Is there a clear statement of HR strategy? Is there a clear logic for the HR strategy? How well does it support the business strategy given the strengths and weakness analysis?
Is the presentation organised in a coherent manner?
You will not need an executive summary because the document is so short.
No minimum number of references is required. However, if you draw on the argument or the evidence of someone else you are obliged to acknowledge the source.
These references should provide evidence for your assertions and be selected from reputable academic sources such as peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks and research books, or from other verifiable sources, such as interviews, newspaper articles and reports. You may wish to refer to the course readings, but do not rely on these alone.
The organisation chosen is a tier 2 construction company based in Australia that specialises in small to medium construction projects such as educational, medical, defence facilities and buildings.
I need help doing the steepled analysis of the industry that the company is in. For example, the impact of Covid-19 on the industry could be a talking point. Anything that specifically addresses the company chosen, I can do myself as I can’t reveal the company for confidential reasons.
The slides should include everything mentioned above.
