Activity 3.7: Challenges of using strategic tools

Timing: Allow 60 minutes for this activity

Select one of the tools discussed in this unit and develop a plan for how you would use this to inform the development of HRD strategy in your organisation or an organisation known to you.

As a reminder, the tools you might wish to consider using are:

  • mapping internal and external context
  • STEEPLE analysis
  • stakeholder analysis
  • SWOT analysis
  • value chain analysis
  • benchmarking
  • scenario analysis.

Your plan should include:

  • reason for the choice of this tool
  • key parameters required for this tool
  • implementation plan (who, what, how and when).

There is no feedback for this activity, as the outcome will depend on the particular tool you decided to use and the organisational context under review.
