Introduction to the Activity

Creating high performance management systems results in economic benefits in a large number of industries. The process starts with a leader diagnosing the current level of alignment of the HR practices to the external environment. To achieve strategic change that results in a strategic competitive advantage, our organization must understand the importance of human resource management to the capability of high performance outcomes. The first step in understanding the importance is completing a diagnosis of the external alignment of the HR practice with the competencies and behaviors required to achieve the organizational strategies related to the organizational change.
