Discussion Questions for Week Four-Due Wed Sep 10

1.  What are the competencies that are presented in the weeks reading material (share the source for your informed opinion) that you feel you personally need to develop to be even more competent? Select at least three and share what value you think the competency will give the organization (the case study we are using in this class - PAC).

Further explanation added 09/09: The commentary (course modules from last week and this week plus the reading material this week offer several competency models for HR). Consider all that you have been exposed to and decide what competencies you feel you need to develop yourself in order to assist as the new HR Director for PAC). While you may use any competency model you choose, some may want to use the following set of competencies (link provided below). 

Credible Activist

Culture and Change Steward

Talent Manager/Organizational Designer

Strategy Architect

Operational Executor

Business Ally

2.  In preparation of next week’s assignment (still using the SHRM case study), share one segment of the presentation in advance (the so that statement for example or one of your recommendations). Recall that the So That Statement is the Who, What and Why of the HR function (some call this their mission statement). See the full assignment's instructions and grading rubric for details of the presentation. Following are partial instructions as a reminder:

You will present a second power point presentation that builds on the information from the first presentation and applies some of the additional material assigned in the class. You will conduct a SWOT Analysis of the current situation of the HR department of PAC (provided in the case study), propose at least three recommendations for changing the existing HR Domains (or functional areas), describe if the recommendations add value to the areas of people, performance, information and/or work flow, and describe ways to institutionalize best practices in the recommended areas. Since HR departments communicate their Who, What and Why for their initiatives through a So That Statement, you will design an effective So That Statement for the HR function.  The presentation ends with a summary or the conclusions for the paper and a Reference Page including at least two scholarly references (in text citations are to be provided in the content of the presentation).
