Organizational Analysis

HRD Assignment 4 – Organizational Analysis

This assignment continues where Assignment 1 left off. Below is what you wrote in Assignment 1

Assignment #1 is called an Organizational Analysis. In this assignment, you will tell me about the following key organizational concepts. Should actual (documented) concepts not exist (ex. not every organization has a mission statement, but they should), then suggest what they might be. Should you find the following concepts to be new to you, please spend some time on Google looking for definitions and examples.

Please include the following in Assignment #1. Name of the organization (this will be kept confidential) - Industry
- Location
- estimated size of workforce

- Mission Statement

- Vision Statement
- Competitors
- Core Beliefs/Guiding Principles/Pillars of Success
- finally, provide a summary of the type of Training and Development activities the organization uses. Some examples may include training, new employee training, computer training, professional development conferences, pro devo reading (and possibly rewards), employee of the month recognition programs, mentoring, coaching, etc.

For Assignment 4, you are going to conduct an audit on the organization selected for Assignment 1. An audit is a review, inspection, or examination aimed at identifying areas of shortcoming, as well as opportunities for improvement. For Assignment 4, use what you know about HRD, its intentions/applications, and how this organization may benefit from a new HRD approach. Propose new approaches of how this organization can strengthen its Training and Development functions and practices. Chapters 7 through 12 in the HRD textbook should be reflected in this assignment. Finally, integrate (and attach the Table you made in Assignment 3 to the back of this final paper) the Table you created in Assignment 3 as a possible "lens" to approach the Training and Development functions at this organization.

Word of advice = There is no set way I want you to address all of the pieces above. I want you to be creative and address everything above in a clear and flowing manner. The only final detail I would like to see is the paper structured according to the following:

Page 1 – APA Title page - include your name, course name, path, and date
Section 1 - Assignment 1 in its entirety titled "Section 1 - Organizational Analysis"
Section 2 - Assignment 4 specific information on the audit and proposals titled "Section 2 - Human

Resource Development Audit"
