What is the organization’s business strategy, and what are the organizational competencies or competitive advantages needed to deliver it according to customers and stakeholders? How should the business be aligned to those organizational competencies, and what are the workforce implications of making changes to the business? What should the workforce be capable of doing given tomorrow’s challenges and direction? What are the needed workforce behaviors—linked to organizational activities and outcomes—that exemplify high performance, and how does the organization capture, develop, and reinforce them? Asking these strategic questions can be a powerful method of demystifying what it takes to succeed. It will help create an organization that understands its organizational competencies, aligns the business and workforce to fulfill them, and translates that alignment into the workforce competencies, job profiles, and business/HR interventions needed to sustain or grow the organization.
