The 9-Box Grid

The 9-box grid is a workforce planning tool used to assess employee performance or potential, supporting strategic workforce planning (Vulpen, 2025). It works by providing a visual framework to identify the high performing and high potential employees to allow tailored development and succession planning. One major advantage of the 9-box grid is that it allows to focus on investing into the key talent, which is so important for retention and leadership continuity (Tapi, 2024). However, its reliance on subjective measures introduces bias into the results, reducing the reliability. Additionally, implementing the 9-box grid involves much time and resources needed to gather and effectively analyse data (Symonds & McBrayer, 2024). The grid helps in aligning the capabilities of the employee with organisational goals, but it is not a complete solution to more wide-reaching workforce issues. Its shortcomings underscore the importance of integrating other tools to best achieve the intended outcomes.

Contingency Planning

Contingency planning is a strategic method of preparing an organisation for workforce disruption through developing responses to potential risks such as labour shortages, economic downturns and sudden absence (Tristancho, 2024). One key advantage is the ability to maintain continuity of operation and thereby limit the severity of delays to services and hence satisfaction of customers. Moreover, it is clear and credible for stakeholders and showcases preparedness. However, contingency planning has limitations. It is resource intensive and involves extensive scenario analysis and frequent updates to keep pace with shifting labour markets. Furthermore, excessive preparation for unlikely scenarios may also shift focus from current organisation’s priorities, thus causing inefficiency (Leonard, 2024). However, its critical and proactive approach to risk management ensures that organisations like ParcelCare, which depends on consistent service delivery are able to plan its workforce effectively. By getting ahead of uncertainties, contingency planning reduces likelihood of potential workforce related crisis, boost resilience and bring stability.

Brief Judgement

The most useful tool for ParcelCare is the 9-box grid, which focuses on internal workforce optimisation, and also determines high potential employees for leadership positions and future development. By doing so, it guarantees talent continuity and is in line with ParcelCare’s strategic objective to further improve retention and succession planning. While it does not address the need for immediate disruptions, focusing on productive employee development makes it essential for building a resilient workforce ready for potential challenges.

Executive Summary This report has focused on evaluating specific sourcing approaches which are used in different spend categories in Alaraby TV Network. This is achieved by focusing on the Information Technology (IT) as spend category for the organisation and particularly hardware sub-category. As part of fully digitising media operations in Alaraby TV Network, the organisation has been sourcing IT systems meant for enhancing their operations. As part of analysis, other spend areas including logistics, health and safety tools, communication equipment and videography and  leasing for vehicles used in movement in Qatar. For the purpose of noting on various sourcing approaches, different tools in CIPS have been used including Mendelow Matrix, Kraljic tool among others. The key findings in this report is that organisations use different sourcing approaches in their categories of spend. The choice of sourcing approaches is informed by the engaged stakeholders, the spend categories and external/internal factors. Also, the findings evidence that sourcing approaches are informed by the organisations position in their business environment. This report findings has identified these approaches as including single, sole, dual and multiple. Also, key findings in the supplier appraisal of the IT hardware sub-category, suppliers are best evaluated in line with the Cater’s 10Cs being applied. The application of the different sourcing approaches lead to Alaraby TV Network to dominate the entire Middle East region and leveraging on competitive advantage. Multiple sourcing has been identified in the findings as involving many suppliers with single sourcing involving one supplier while dual sourcing including different suppliers having demands that conflict. From the identified gaps in this report, the following recommendations can be used to fill these gaps;
  • Opting for most appropriate sourcing approach guided by spend category
  • Priority on policies for PS&M to guarantee integration of all stakeholders interest
  • Simplify overall procurement strategy for ensuring prioritisation of stakeholders point of view
  • Using technologies in phases of procurement lifecycle including RFQ, RFP, e-Auction intended to improve how information ,flows in sourcing approaches identified

For this project, the purpose was to access the overarching process and approach to SRM within Oxy organisation and coming up with appropriate implementation plan. The relevance of this project was informed by the fact that with the organisation having a large scale of operations with multiple end users, SRM is a significant issue. Also, the organisation operating in both local and international operations with multiple suppliers and spend areas to be coordinated.  The outcome of this would be to promote and improve SRM for aligning with Oxy organisation strategic objectifies, supply chain function being strategic integral partner as opposed to just transactional player.  Owing to the importance of SRM improvement, the different outcomes would entail;
  • Enhanced Suppliers Performance- With an upward of 50,000 orders annually with 40% valued more than 5 million Omanis and 50% 20 Million Omanis, failure to timely settle invoices, demand for high quality materials and minimising effects would be considered.
  • Cost savings- With improved SRM, it is possible for Oxy to negotiate appropriate terms, lower procurement costs (5 Rights not currently achieved) hence working below targets and lead times delivery reduced and achieving economies of scale.
  • Increased efficiency- improved and streamlined SRM improve operational efficiency, reducing wastes in administration process for SRM (25% of entire suppliers pay delayed)
  • Risk mitigation- this include identification of risks linked with suppliers such as dissatisfaction, financial instability and geopolitical challenges
The data used in informing the set project findings was obtained from the application of both quantitative and qualitative data by using questionnaires and interviews. Also, literature review has been sourced for affirming the relevance of the findings on best strategy in improving SRM in Oxy organisation context. This is supported by different CIPS module notes. The key findings include despite of Oxy Organisation having a stable SRM, there is still a need for improving. The findings evidence this to be an attribute of the broad scope of the organisation operation in different industries and markets locally (in Oman) and internationally.  The findings also identify existence of gaps in SRM evidenced by reduced collaboration amongst the different stakeholders with relevant solutions recommended for improvement. Part of this report has included a developed SRM approach which is applicable in Line Pipe Category. In line with the obtained research findings, various recommendations have been generated for improvement. These include;
  • Oxy organisation PS&M is supposed to come up with appropriate systems and techniques for improvement of SRM
  • Oxy organisation need to make sure they use various automations including AI and robotics for improving collaboration and SRM efficiency.
  • Facilitate policies management for improving their operations in onshore and offshore operations with an improved SRM
  • Short courses on SRM need to be provided starting with PS&M leadership to achieve 50% increase in awareness of SRM improvements areas.
  • Stakeholders relations improved by leveraging on available technologies of communication and interaction.
  • Ensure there is 70% increase in budget on SRM improvements
