The first step in any planning
effort should be to gather the facts. Too often we make significant judgments
about where the direction of our business should go without really getting
understanding the realities of what we face today. This is the solid foundation
necessary to build our strategies for the future.
To
get to the purpose and essence of this analysis we need to ask two questions:
-
What
is going on outside our organization that will impact us in the next few
years? To answer this question, we look outside the company, and into
the future. It is generally expressed
in two ways - - Opportunities (our
best chances for progress and advancement) and Threats (outside
issues that we do not control, but could affect our business if we make no
preparation for it.)
-
What
is going on inside our
organization that will impact us in the next few years?
This
second question is primarily internally oriented, and focuses on the present.
It is generally expressed
in two ways- - our
Strengths (our major internal advantages)
and our Weaknesses (our major internal issues, problems and concerns).
In
analyzing where we stand today based on those forces that drive our business
forward and those that restrain us from achieving all we wish to achieve, we
create a total understanding of the facts and issues we face. Your HR
