Instructions
Complete an analysis of the key internal factors that have implications for successful implementation of your organization’s strategy and goals/objectives. Submit your work in your assignment folder in the form of an approximate 2,000-word double-spaced, using an appropriate writing style (APA, Chicago, MLA). The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract.
Your paper should address these topics:
Given the company’s Vision, Mission and Objectives (VMO), identify the company’s core competencies and assess which ones are rare, costly, or not easily imitated. Discuss how they are related to and critical to the VMO execution.
Present a summary of your organization’s strengths and weaknesses. Submit the SWOT format in Table form and add in some narrative to discuss the strengths and weaknesses in more detail. Explain in your discussion (not in the table) why you selected them and how they relate to the VMO and organization strategy. (Note: You will have an opportunity to complete a full SWOT analysis, including threats and opportunities, as part of your week 6 paper.).
Apply the Resource-Based View (RBV) to help you identify both the tangible and intangible assets your organization may be able to use to accomplish its intended strategies. You can list them in a table form and then follow with a discussion of the assets, why you selected them and how they relate to the VMO and strategy.
Consider and discuss the things that may make your organization’s resources and capabilities difficult for others to imitate. Use Value Chain Analysis to help you deepen your understanding of the relative value of the resources and capabilities you have identified. Seek objective and independently verifiable evidence of potential rarity of the resources and capabilities.
IMPORTANT: Do not just use someone else’s SWOT or other analysis. We want you to think for yourself. Critically analyze your firm and write about your original conclusions. Imagine you have been asked by the organization’s CEO or top leader to offer an assessment of the organization and how well it is positioned (or not) to deliver on the VMO and strategy. This is a critical element, stand back and offer thoughtful criticism and recommendations.
Add in a strong conclusion that ensures the reader leaves your paper with a clear recap of your key points.

Overview
Continue to work on your course project using the same document you did in previous modules, making any necessary edits based on your research as well as instructor feedback. This week you will provide an outline that explains how you will reach the audience participating in the training program you are developing.
Make sure your outline includes information that makes the case for why the program should be implemented and how it matches the organizational profile you developed in Module 1. For details about the project and submission expectations, review the Course Project: Developing a Training Program Overview page.
Submission
For the training program you have chosen to present, create an outline that addresses the following points:
Describe how adult learning theory will be integrated into the design and implementation of the training program.
Describe how you will gain “buy-in” from learners.
Explain how the training will transfer to improved job performance and positively impact business metrics.
Readings

Overview
According to journalist Benedict Carey, there are a number of ways we learn and other ways that can improve our learning. As an HR/Training professional, you will need to make the most out of your work with adult learners.
Watch the videos in the Videos section and then answer the questions as if you are the HR/Training professional in charge of developing training for adult learners in an organization.
Videos

Submission
After watching the videos, write a paper as if you are writing a report to your HR/Training supervisor. Your paper should be no more than two pages, not including references. While your paper does not have to be in APA format, you must cite your sources. Using language common within the HR/Training field, respond to these questions:
Unfortunately, we usually can’t offer naps at work. Which of the strategies presented in the videos do you think would be most useful to use in a workplace training experience to ensure learning transfer and mastery? Think outside of the actual experience itself. Explain why you selected this strategy.
What other strategies do you think would be useful in a workplace training experience and why?

Prepare an individual report demonstrating that you a) understand the key ideas presented in the assigned and recommended readings for Week 1 and b) can analyze critically the extent to which they are applicable in your current workplace. Your report should be 800-1000 words and must cite supporting evidence from the readings (or the Week 1 discussion). Your report should be double-spaced and you should use an appropriate writing style (APA, Chicago, MLS). The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract.
If you are unemployed currently, contact your faculty member for guidance on choosing another firm.
The questions your report must address are: What business model does your company use? What is your organization’s vision and mission? What objective evidence is there that your organization’s vision, mission, and objectives is helping it gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Only briefly touch on what objective evidence, using the Three Tests of a Winning Strategy, is there that your organization’s vision, mission, and objectives support its strategy? (We will address the three tests in more detail later) Be sure to introduce your argument, explain your understanding of key terms, present your reasoning, and include independently verifiable supporting evidence.

Notes:
SHRM is a concept that embraces three key inter-linked themes:
• Strategy management
• People management
• Strategy-HRM alignment
Traditional HRM is more reactive and aims to respond to the needs of employees, for example, when employees have problems or specific requests. Strategic HRM, by contrast, is more proactive and tries to pre-empt employee problems or requests before they occur; it looks toward the organisation’s present and future needs and develops strategies to meet them. The scope of traditional HRM is narrow, focusing on essential personnel management, employment and labour relations, and keeping them satisfied. In contrast, strategic HRM has a broader vision and approach, with all initiatives and activities aligned to the organisation’s larger goals. For example, rather than filling roles and positions when employees leave the organisation, strategic HRM will proactively recruit people based on the overall business strategy and plan for future contingencies.
Connecting business strategy and HRM:
Three linkages between business strategy and HRM. These include:
Accommodative: HR follows the strategy of the organisation to accommodate the staffing requirements of an existing business strategy.
Interactive: There is two-way coordination between the HR function and the organisation in which HR contributes to the organisation’s overall business strategy.
Fully Integrated: Where the HR function acts as a strategic partner and is fully involved with the organisation’s strategic planning and execution—an authentic reflection of SHRM in practice.
HR perspectives
• Unitarist Perspective
• Pluralist Perspective
• Radical Perspective
