What Makes Organization Strategic Thinking?

Today, organization leaders usually announce in various media and social media about their strategic orientation, support and adoption of the idea that their employees are the organization assets and capital and how they care about their employees and provide all the support and decelopment and training they need to achieve the goals and strategy and vision of the organization.

The role of onsultants and trainers in strategic human resources is to support this trend and root it in the organizational culture and practice by analyzing and examining the organization whose leaders declare this approach and here how we try to reveal if the words of the leaders correspond to reality, culture and practice:

1- The HR position in organizational strategy. Does HR manager attend the meetings of the strategy to take notes and take orders or he is on equal terms with the managers of finance, marketing, sales, production and manufacturing in drafting and crafting strategy.

2. Does human resources role in the organization is as recipient and obtaining orders and review of routine procedures and policies or it has a role to support emoloyees development, adviser to leaders and departments, change agent and driving organizational culture.

3. Dealing with training and development as a reward for employees and not instead of relating it to organizational need to achieve objectives, strategy and vision.

4 - limiting human resources decisions making to the issues regarding labor law, policies and procedures of personnel affairs or the decisions raise to the strategy, goals and vision of the organization.

These are some of the factors that we measure as consultants and trainers of strategic human resources to determine if the organizatiom is strategic thinking or they are more believe in financial factors and profit and loss in making crucial decisions and fundamental changes. There are other factors that explain the behaviour and mindset of the leaders if they really believe that employees are the organizational assets and capital or it is just media show off talk.
